A paper flower wall decor like this one is definitely a lovely addition to your bedroom, but it can also be a bold accent piece when done right.

You don’t need any elaborate blueprint or template to make your flowers, just sturdy paper of your choice to get you started. You’ll also need a roll of this easel paper for the base.

There are so many different styles and types of flowers that you can make. In fact, why don’t you take a look at these two methods to help you along the way:

6. Aged Vase

I don’t know why but aged decor pieces are so fundamentally modern. Take this aged vase, for example. Doesn’t it look rather edgy and earthy at the same time?

It might be because it’s artfully aged, rather than just an old and dingy vase. You get the idea, though, and you’ll be glad to know that you can make this vase, too!

You can upcycle an old glass pitcher or the bottom of an old lamp to use as the vase. But first, you’ll need a base layer of white primer from here to apply a couple of coats to the vase to prime it.

Lighting can set the tone for the entire room. While most bedrooms go for the traditional bedside table lamp or side lamps over the headboard, you can also consider hanging lights.

They’re a modern lighting solution that will, for lack of other words, light up a room. A set of three hanging lights per side should work nicely as bedside lighting, don’t you think?

But it can just as easily work in one corner of your bedroom. You could set up a comfy chair, and you’ll have yourself a reading nook!

13. Ladder Shelf Storage

Did you ever think about repurposing a step ladder to use as a storage unit? Depending on the number of steps on your step ladder, you can have a number of shelves to store your belongings.

You can place books, planters and flower vases, little knick-knacks, baubles, and more. If your ladder is a little worse for wear, a coat of paint should help spruce it up.

But you can also make shelf storage ladders from scratch by repurposing scrap wood.
