Modern Geometric Pendant

1/16

Construct a glass pendant to show off that trendy Edison bulb. This one was made from a glass terrarium and a swag kit. Simply flip the terrarium over, drill a hole through the metal base to accommodate the bulb socket (the hole for this one was two inches wide), then screw the swag kit into the base according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fit the socket with an Edison bulb, and suspend the fixture upside down from a hook in the ceiling.

Vintage-Style Cage Bathroom Fixture

2/16

Turn your outdated bathroom fixture into a vintage-inspired beauty with little more than new shades and a coat of paint! To achieve the look, find small fabric shades that are about the same size as the shades currently on your fixture, then strip off the fabric. Remove the fixture from the wall, then spray-paint it and the lamp shade cages black. Once everything is dry, reattach the fixture to the wall, install the spray-painted cage lamp shades, and swap in filament light bulbs. Now you have a "brand-new" industrial-farmhouse lighting fixture that cost you next to nothing.

Wooden Tripod Floor Lamp

3/16

Put your carpentry skills to use and build yourself a sleek and stylish floor lamp! To make this fun design, you'll need a lighting kit, pine boards, a wood plank, assorted hardware, and familiarity with a circular saw. Trim the boards and fit three together to create each of the tripod legs. Cut the plank into a triangular shape with a rectangular tab at each corner, and screw one leg onto each tab. Drill a hole through the plank, run the lighting kit through it, then top with a wood veneer-look shade or a lamp shade of your choice.

Nautical Rope Chandelier

4/16

Transform a simple metal chandelier into a beach-house-worthy statement piece with this DIY idea. Start with a plain metal hanging fixture. If it needs more bulk or a more interesting shape, cut a hula hoop down to size and glue it into position inside the arms of the chandelier. Then, little by little, apply a few inches of hot glue to the chandelier, wrapping with sisal rope until the whole fixture is covered.

Brightly Colored Halo Lights

7/16

These whimsical lights are a breeze to assemble and can be made in any color you want! They're great for a kids' room or playroom, so long as they're well out of reach. Begin by measuring and cutting wire into four lengths of graduated sizes. Wrap the shortest one into a circle that fits snugly over the top of a white pendant light kit. Bend the three longest pieces into large circles with loops at the ends. Spray all the wire circles one color, let them dry, then flip them over and spray the other side. Once the wires are completely dry, slide the loops at the ends of the three largest circles onto the small wire circle, and hang it over the top of the pendant light.

Large Recycled Bottle Lamp

8/16

This is a great project for a flea market find—old wine jugs, glass water bottles, or beer growlers look great converted into lamps. Once you've found the perfect vessel, get a lamp socket, clear lamp cord, and shade kit. Assemble the socket and cord, then fit the socket (and the cord) into the top of the jar, using hot glue to secure them in place. Screw in the light bulb, add the shade, and turn on your light!

Geometric Copper Pipe Pendant

9/16

This copper pipe stunner is an on-trend addition to any space! Start with a basic pendant and spray-paint it black. Next, cut your copper pipe into 30 equal pieces, and clean them with steel wool. Use copper wire to assemble them into triangles, then attach the triangles to each other, fitting the pendant inside the sculpture before you close it entirely. Then simply hang the pendant from the ceiling.

Minimalist Wooden Disc Pendant

10/16

This project is so simple you'll be wanting to try it on all your unused dinnerware! Start with a large but lightweight wooden serving bowl.

Stacked Wood Slice Lamp

11/16

Birch slices add a lovely soft, natural element to your home—and stacked together, they make an intriguing table lamp. Drill holes roughly through the center of 15 to 20 birch wood slices. Stack them, then string the cord of a lighting kit through the bunch. Add wood glue between each slice and let dry, then top with a shade.

Wire Basket Wooden Wall Sconce

12/16

These minimalist industrial wall sconces make perfect reading lights in the bedroom. Begin by cutting two pieces of wood for the bracket. Next, use a router to carve a channel for the electrical cord along the back of each piece; for the top piece of wood, the channel should run straight into a hole drilled through the piece, close to the front edge. Screw the two pieces of wood together to form a right angle. Stain the wood in your desired shade and let dry. Then, string a cord through the hole and down the back. Mount the fixture to the wall, then screw in the light bulb.

Funky Piñata Lamp

13/16

This playful donkey piñata lamp would be a great accent for a party or special event! Start with a piñata—you can make your own using papier-mâché and tissue paper, or simply buy one ready-made. Cut a small hole in the bottom, then fit the piñata over a table lamp with the shade removed. Just make sure you're using a low-temperature bulb to avoid a fire hazard, and never leave it on unattended.

Outdoor Table Lantern

14/16

Metal lanterns are a lovely choice for outdoor settings, and indoors they bring a casual, friendly charm to any room. Start with a metal lantern of any size, and thread the cord of a lamp kit through the top of the lantern; you may need to take the cord kit apart and put it back together again to do this. Attach a small adhesive decorating hook to the inside top of the lamp, then hang the bulb from it.

Recycled Cardboard Pendant Lights

15/16

These colorful lights may look like they're made from metal, but they're actually made from recycled cardboard! This cheap (or free!) material gives you lots of room to play with shape and color. To re-create this approach, cut squares for the top and bottom, then cut eight strips to run between them. Cut a hole in the center of the top square, big enough to fit the light socket of your pendant light kit. Cut notches into the base and side pieces and fit them together as shown, then spray-paint the whole thing in the color of your choice. Once it's dry, fit the cardboard form onto your light kit, and hang it with pride.

Copper and Wood Standing Lamp

16/16

Pair the warmth of light-toned wood with the glamour of copper for this handcrafted lamp. Assemble it by fitting a large dowel into a hole drilled into a thick rectangular wooden base; glue in place. Drill an angled hole through the dowel, run a length of copper pipe through it, and glue in place. Drill a hole in the base of a small plastic basket to accommodate a light bulb socket, then spray-paint the basket in metallic copper. Then fit the plastic basket over the bulb and thread the cord of the lamp kit through the copper pipe.

Boys Bedroom Curtain Ideas

Boys Bedroom Curtain Ideas

Choosing window treatments for children's bedrooms is a vital part when designing their room, but it can be a tricky one at that. You need to strike a balance between beauty and practicality. Ensuring your kid(s) will enjoy the right light levels at different times of the day via a safe and stylish window dressing.

A good curtain or shade design should also add privacy and create a comfortable environment for sleeping, playing and socializing in. Thankfully, there are many beautiful ways to style windows in kids' rooms, whether they prefer a bright patterned shades or dreamy drapes.

1. Choose glow-in-the-dark designs to wow

(Image credit: English Blinds)

Glow-in-the-dark accessories are very much a nostalgic part of our childhood. From wall stickers and decals to fluorescent or luminous paint, it's a extra finish that will let them dream big.

If you want to incorporate it into something a little more functional, a glow-in-the-dark blind is the way to go.

During the day, they'll camouflage into a grey color then come night time, your child will be in for a wonderful surprise as their room turns into a starry night sky, albeit for up to thirty minutes.

2. Coordinate window treatments with accessories

(Image credit: Sophie Allport)

The key to a super chic small kids' window treatment is coordination. And if you want to create a beautiful bedroom that's affordable too  – then it's best to go bespoke and do the work yourself.

By buying the raw materials for your window treatment, you can create curtains, blinds and much more.

In this example, a few meters of Sophie Allport's Fairground Ponies fabric has been fashioned into a cute blind to take care of the sunshine. The 100% cotton composition means it's machine washable too.

See what you can do with a sewing machine and some TLC?

3. Match your window treatment with a seating space

(Image credit: Annie Sloan)

This grey, green and yellow design is as gender neutral as color schemes go, and when tied together with a matching window seat design and cushions, makes for a lovely cohesive finish. Claim your free sample swatch and shop the exact fabric design at Annie Sloan.

4. In a windowless room, consider alternative options

(Image credit: Annie Sloan)

If your child has a windowless room in the home, they don't have to miss out on all of the fun of kids' window treatment ideas.

Cool and creative, this curtained bunk bedroom idea provides privacy for both parties and blocks out artificial or natural light if one child if up before the other.

Note how the striped curtain idea works alongside a striped cushion and zebra print rug to provide some coordination in an otherwise colorful scheme.

5. Be versatile with a day and night blind

(Image credit: 247 Blinds)

'Day and Night blinds trap and retain the heat between their two layers, helping to insulate your home and reduce your energy bills.' says Rob Kemp, advisor at Hillary's.

So it's no wonder many parents turn to this kids' window treatment idea. Creating a soft and contemporary look while providing privacy and light control, day and night blinds maintain privacy in an almost magical way.

The translucent fabric panels allow light in, while keeping prying eyes and scary shadows out.

6. Go smart with a remote-operated electric blind

(Image credit: Thomas Sanderson )

Today's kids have all the tech. From smartphones to games consoles - the future is digital. And the same can be said for interiors too.

As well as removing the risks associated with a cord design, a remote-controlled blind is a modern small kids' window treatment that'll earn you some brownie points  too.

Perfect for little ones or less-abled children, it'll allow them to control the light coming into hard to reach windows.

This contemporary design from Thomas Sanderson has a lovely sheer finish to let a little natural light in.

7. Child with allergies? Choose a special coated blind

(Image credit: Swift Direct Blinds)

'One in four people suffer with some form of hayfever or pollen allergy, which can often lead to poor sleep or low mood.', says Neil Makinson, Head of E-Commerce at Swift Direct Blinds.

'So specialist Pollergen™ treated fabrics can help to reduce suffering for those with hayfever as the specialist fabric is able to trap and denature up to 50% of grass pollen; making it an ideal choice for the bedroom.'

8. Solid shutters make for early nights and lie-ins

(Image credit: California Shutters)

For a new baby or a child who gets up at the first sign of daylight, you'll need to consider bedroom window ideas that work overtime.

Solid shutters are a good option, and they keep out more than light – insulating the room effectively from noise (traffic if street-facing, summer parties round yours if garden-facing) and from draft.

White or neutral colors are, of course, an easy to redecorate around in future, but colorful options that can be repainted, are a cheerful choice.

The downside of solid shutters? You need enough wall space to be able to fold them right back in the daytime, and this also means that having furniture right in front of the window might not be practical.

Want to get the look? Shop these window shutter from California Shutters

9. Pick louvered shutters for adjustable light levels

(Image credit: California Shutters)

Louvered shutters are a good alternative type of window treatment if there's not enough wall space to fold solid shutters right back, and if you want to be able to create a private space – ideal if the bedroom is overlooked – or to adjust the light levels during the day (perhaps the bedroom is south-facing and needs a spot of light filtering during the day?).

Tier-on-tier shutters like these allow you to keep the top half open and the bottom half closed during the day, too.

White or neutral shutters will, of course, last the course as they grow older, but you can spray paint colorful ones in future.

The downside? Louvered shutters are effective at shutting out noise and drafts but light does filter through somewhat, something to bear in mind if the room is east-facing.

On a budget? Choose DIY measure and fit shutters like these, which come in at a fraction of the price of others.

10. Opt for Venetian blinds for a smart, grown-up look

(Image credit: Apollo Blinds)

If shutters are beyond your budget, Venetian blinds are a more affordable option that gives you a similar, streamlined look.

'When it comes to our bedrooms, privacy is key no matter the size of the window.' says Jason Peterkin, director at 247 Blinds.

'However, a good option for small windows is Venetian blinds, as they allow lots of light into the room which otherwise may be very dark - all whilst ensuring total privacy.'

'In order to give both maximum light and privacy, I'd suggest adjusting your blinds according to the sun.'

Easy to wipe clean, they come in a range of colors and finishes, although white or wood-effects will endure as your child grows and their tastes change.

The downsides: they will rattle if the window is left open on a hot, breezy night, and they don't keep out as much light as louvered shutters, since light seeps in between the slats and around the edges.

Plus, of course, as with other similar window treatments, you have to be very careful of any cords with little ones around.

11. Roman blinds create a co-ordinated feel

(Image credit: Fiona Walker-Arnott)

If you love the look of layered fabrics, Roman blinds are a good choice for children's bedrooms, allowing you to pick up the colors in the fabric elsewhere in the room for a co-ordinated feel. Pick a plain finish to make it easier to redecorate around – anything patterned with a childish design will make it date quickly, too. Line the blind with blackout fabric to keep the bedroom dark and quieter in the evening and early morning, too.

The downside? Roman blinds have the cord issue that can be a safety issue with a younger child, so ensure yours is tethered well out of reach at all times; children don't find it easy/have the patience to raise these blinds correctly, either, so expect to find it sitting wonky unless you get involved...

12. Cute pattern and interest

(Image credit: Pressloft)

If your child's first bedroom is temporary or if, perhaps, you're renting, it might be that you want to use the window treatment as an opportunity to add color and interest to the room.

In this case, a Roman blind is a good option, because it allows you to show off the fabric's design in all its glory, all of the time, raised or not. If you're on a budget, picking ready-made blinds over made-to-measure will stretch your funds further.

This Emma Bridgewater Dinosaurs Roman blind at Blinds2Go is a roaring option for a boy's bedroom idea.

13. Choose fitted blinds for a loft bedroom

(Image credit: Hillarys)

In a loft room, you have the gnarly problem of roof windows. Our advice? Don't waste your time trying to make your own blinds for these windows – they invariably fail at keeping the light out and won't look as smart as they did at first after just a few weeks; the best and only option is for made-to-measure blinds.

If you have Velux windows, you'll find a code inside the frame – you can use this code to buy perfect-fit blinds that can come as plain, patterned and even blackout.

Read our guide to buying blinds for loft and roof windows for more info.

14. Bright roller blind

(Image credit: direct blinds)

Roller blinds are undoubtedly your best choice if your budget has run out – there's a vast array of colors and patterns to choose from and, of course, many of them come in blackout options, although light will still seep into the room around the edges, however, this can be remedied in future if you add curtains to the mix. Again, watch the cord safety issue.

A hot trend for interiors? The exotics: whether big, bold leaves, jungle themes or chinoiserie, so go for these prints if you want the latest look for your child's bedroom window treatment.

However, if you want to make a small window look bigger, we've got some expert insight for you.

"If your window is quite small and you want to give the illusion of a bigger window, roller blinds can work wonders.' says Jason Peterkin, Director at 247 Blinds.

'Opting for a paired back, relaxed pattern or neutral color can help the window sit seamlessly in the room, tricking the eye into overlooking the size of the window.'

15. Let natural light flood in

(Image credit: Little Green)

If your child's room has a small window, is north-facing and isn't overlooked, and if your child isn't bothered by morning and evening light, undressing the window, perhaps with the simplest of gauzy white roller blinds will make the space feel brighter and bigger.

It will also allow you to show off the window itself – a plus if it's a good-looking one.

16. Double up

(Image credit: Ikea)

If you love the look of an undressed window but, for all the obvious reasons, need a more practical window treatment for your child's bedroom, this is a good solution: gauzy curtains matched with a white blackout blind.

Why a white blackout blind? You can completely raise it during the day and, positioned on a white window frame, it becomes more or less invisible.

17. Hang curtains for a smart focal feature

(Image credit: Blinds 2 Go)

There are all sorts of reasons to add your favourite bedroom curtain ideas to your kids room. Floor-length designs, pulled right back from the window, will make the window feel grander; blackout lined curtains will keep out the light, noise and draughts almost as effectively as solid shutters; and they're a good opportunity for adding a splash of colour and pattern to a room.

The downsides? When measuring for curtains, check the header – while we love the look of a curtain pole like this one, it will allow in more light than a rail will; curtains can also be victims to mucky fingers and are a hassle to clean, unlike shutters, for instance, which can be simply wiped; and of course, if your child's bedroom is small, full curtains will look bulky, so you may be better off picking a more streamlined finish.

• See our pick of the best blackout curtains for bedrooms .

18. Renting? Fit window film for added privacy

(Image credit: The Window Film Company)

No one wants their child's bedroom overlooked, but adding a layer of window film to the window panes is a quick, affordable way to give it privacy.

Of course, even the best window film designs alone might not do the job, but it can be matched with every single one of the children's bedroom window treatments above.

You can buy ready-made window film panels if you're on a budget, but made-to-measure ones, if a little more expensive, will give you a choice of designs and a better finish, particularly if the window is large and joins are inevitable with the ready-made designs.

How do you dress a kids' bedroom window?

'If your bedroom window is particularly small, you may be tempted to avoid any window dressings to ensure the room feels light and airy.' says Jason Peterkin, director at 247 Blinds.

'However, it must be said that opting for some blinds for your small window doesn't have to mean reducing the amount of light entering your room.

'Venetian blinds are a great option for bedrooms even on a small window, as they allow lots of light to flow through the room whilst keeping full privacy.'

Girly Bedroom Ideas For Adults

Girly Bedroom Ideas For Adults

• Pink room ideas

We earn a commission for products purchased through some links in this article.

We've found new and creative ways to think pink

With tones from subtle blush to full-on fuchsia, pink is a surprisingly versatile colour choice for a bedroom. And it's definitely not a shade that should be confined to little girls' rooms. The right pink is out there for everyone, as you'll see from our wide-ranging selection of pink bedroom ideas.

If you're a follower of fashion, you'll know that pale powder and blush pinks – and specifically Millennial pink – are having a moment. The great thing about this blush colour is its slightly beige tint, which takes it away from the sickly sweet end of the spectrum and into more sophisticated, androgynous territory.

Work it with grey, beige or greige paint and fabrics, and wooden furniture with either a very night Nordic or dark walnut finish for an instant styling success.

Another joyful colour in 2020: Yellow bedroom ideas for sunny mornings and sweet dreams

For a more fun take on things, we'd recommend a deep hot pink. It's a daring pick, but one that will have you bounding out of bed every morning, full of energy.

There are several ways you can take on this colour, one being to use a white backdrop and accessorise with similarly strong shades of cobalt blue and sunshine yellow – think Bluebellgrey. Or you could tone it down with fresh spring greens – a good way to go if you like a vibrant country look.

Scroll on to see these and more ways to use pink in your bedroom.

1. Pick the perfect peachy pink

Image credit: Jo Henderson; Stylist: Gemma Gear

Flesh toned pinks and pretty peach shades are perfect for creating a relaxing bedroom. Add deeper hues of coral pink and terrocotta, along with a splash of contrasting denim blue, for a crisp clean look.

Subtle colours can sometimes need pattern to give them interest, so throw in some 'geo' scatter cushions and a 'painterly' rug to liven up the look. Give it a Scandi twist with blonde wood furniture and simple ceramics.

2. Make greenery pop in a neutral scheme

Styling: Gemma Gear; Image credit: Jo Henderson

Buy now: Biface storage headboard, £399, La Redoute

Immerse yourself in an earthy palette of pale pinks, sage greens and terrocotta. This flesh toned pink is the perfect backdrop for the mid-green bedding and warm oak headboard, and with the addition of pots filled with fresh foliage and oversized palm leaves, it creates an almost tropical feel.

3. Pick blousey blooms

Image credit: Simon Whittaker

Introducing pink doesn't mean you have to go with a huge block of colour. Bringing in splashes of the hue against a dark background like this giant wall mural is a sophisticated way to bring it into your bedroom.

Wall murals like this one can be found at surfaceview.co.uk. Pick out the different tones with your bed linen and a rug to pull the scheme together.

4. Go for a candy crush

Prevent candy pink from looking too sickly sweet by balancing it with zingy citrus yellows and cool blues. This colour combo works extremely well together and is reminiscent of pastel hued retro sweets.

The look can be grounded with a neutral floor and splashes of grey, which will give it a more grown-up feel too.

5. Deepen the shades

Once you've picked the shade you like most for your walls, bring in darker versions of it from the same spectrum to highlight a dado rail or soft furnishings.

This salmon pink has reddish tones, so the rich rust tones of the upholstered bed, the rug and the footstool, work really well with it.

6. Leave a gap

Bringing in a wall colour can feel overwhelming to some, so keep your pink bedroom on the serene side by choosing a pale shade with beige or yellowish undertones and paint only up to the dado rail.

If you don't have a dado rail, it doesn't matter, mark a line around the room that you paint the colour up to and use white paint above and on your ceiling.

7. Use pretty fabrics

If changing your paint colour is too big a job right now, bring in pink with some fabrics in pale and dark tones and create a pretty canopy to hang over the bed. Add some cushions and you'll create a cocoon that you won't want to leave.

8. Embrace summer with sunbaked style

Image credit: Debenhams

Mediterranean shades lend earthy warmth to interior and bring a holiday feel to your bedroom. Paint a feature wall in a chalky rose finish to bring soft glow to your colour scheme, then add eclectic accessories in rustic, sun-kissed tones.

Celebrate traditional craftsmanship, organic forms and touchable textures with hand-woven pieces and artisan makes in clay, cotton, wood and rattan. Bedlinen, throws and cushions are enhanced with tufting and trims for relaxed glamour.

9. Snuggle up with shades of rose pink

Image credit: Max Attenborough

Add accents of heart-warming pink hues with layers of luxury linen, chunky knits and soft chenille accessories and furnishings. Tactile soul-soothing textures can bring comfort when it's cold outside. Pom-poms and tassels add a playful touch to this elegant look.

10. Start with a cushion

Image credit: Olly Gordon

Inspiration for this scheme came from the plump pink cushions used to dress the bed. The owner then found an inexpensive paint for the walls that's a perfect match – all proving a pink bedroom transformation needn't cost a fortune. The addition of charcoal blinds and a monochrome rug and cushions ensure things don't stray too far into girlie territory.

Image credit: Dominic Blackmore

We can't take our eyes off this stunning room scheme, which is proof – if any were needed – that pink can be classy and restful. In fact, here, it's almost a neutral – a barely-there flush of femininity.

The matt grey lighting, spot bedding and rustic wood furniture create a cool contrast against the pretty pink, giving the space a quiet sophistication.

12. Style shabby chic furniture with a scaled-up pink floral

Image credit: David Brittain

Shabby chic gets a modern makeover with vintage florals in cleaner colours and crisper designs. To emulate this look, mix cottage-garden motifs with spots, texture and crips white linen. Then accesorise with zinc, enamel and aged wood for that lived in feel. Blooming lovely!

13. Pair pink and plum for a modern vintage look

Image credit: Dominic Blackmore

A classic pastel pink gives this room obvious feminine appeal, but decadent touches keep things grown up. The deep stack of pillows, elegant jacquard curtains and chic glass handles all say 'hotel style', while textured throws add luxe, colour and extra warmth.

Top tip: Got a blank space crying out for a little love? personalise it with a collection of antique-style mirrors and farmed artwork.

14. Combine plaster pink with Mid-Century classics

Image credit: Dominic Blackmore

Plaster pink is a goes-with-anything shade that will see you through the seasons. It brings subtle glamour to the scheme, and tones in beautifully with the natural bedding and flooring and iconic Ercol bed frame and dressing table.

Top tip: Freshen and add definition to a cosy neutral bedroom with hits of pure brilliant white on paintwork, fabrics and pieces of art.

15. Use pink as a backdrop to gold and grey

Mix soft pink and rustic textures with a touch of polish in the form of high-shine gold details, for a cosy but chic bedroom. This shell pink adds a warmer, more feminine feel that blends with neutrals without creating a contrast.

Top tip: Hang a trio of bare-bulb pendants low by the bed so they can be used to read by.

16. Frame bold fuchsia pink tones against a white backdrop

Image credit: Dominic Blackmore

Bring an instant hit of tropical summer to your bedroom all year around with bright bed linen and vibrant floral patterns. White makes for a very versatile backdrop, allowing the colours to pop yet not overwhelm. You really need to have confidence with this look, and stick with strong shades throughout to be truly successful. Using a print on the wall can help tie things together – if you can't find the right artwork, try framing a swatch of wallpaper in a complementary fabric.

Top tip: Increase the storage options in your bedroom with a smart ottoman upholstered in your favourite fabric.

17. Clash patterns in hot pink

Image credit: Dominic Blackmore

Ok, it looks scary, but be brave with this rich pink shade and it'll make your room feel bright all summer and warm in winter. Blocks of plain fuchsia on a wall can be overbearing, so it's good to break up the colour by using pattern. A sunny yellow light not have been your first though as an accent, but it's the perfect addition here. Touches of brass, gold or silver will also look great – but copper? Not so much…

18. Channel spring with folk patterns and green accents

Image credit: David Brittain

You can create an upbeat country home by taking advantage of the revival of folksy patterns in vibrant hues. There's something joyful about this bedroom, where a handsome upholstered headboard draws the eye. The palette almost says English country garden, but the more vibrant tones ensure a contemporary  finish. Go too pale, and you could fall into twee territory.

19. Complement blush pink with hints of terracotta for a cosy effect
