Adding a Terrarium to Your Sleeping Space

If you’re looking to add a little bit of green-ness to your bedroom but don’t want the hassle of remembering to water and care for house plants, a terrarium might be the answer. Terrariums can be purchased at most plant nurseries and even some grocery stores with large floral departments.

Maintenance is simple. Generally, plants in a terrarium require very little watering, mostly just light misting with a spray bottle every few weeks, or whenever you notice the soil looks dry.

Imagine when you walk into your bedroom, seeing the bright green plant shoots in a small terrarium beside your queen platform bed. Or maybe you’d like to go with a larger vessel to offset the size of a king platform bed. Whatever size planter you choose, it’s sure to add a bit of summer to an otherwise winter-weary bedroom.

Have a loft platform bed in the guest room? Adding a terrarium under the loft portion will add softness and interest to the space. And if you’re already utilizing that area for a seating area or desk, even better. Terrariums are easy to care for and even fairly simple to make. A simple Google search will bring up plenty of ideas to get you started.

Wall coverings: Paint, Wallpaper, and Beyond

Gone are the days of horsehair wall coverings and wallpaper so thick one needs a steam machine and chisel to pry it from the walls. Today we’re fortunate to enjoy beautiful, relatively easy to install wallpaper.

Choosing between paint, wallpaper or other wall accents involves a significant investment of time and thought, however.

First, consider the time involved. If you are busy with work and children, wallpapering an entire house can feel overwhelming. A professional installer can certainly help, and it may be worth the cost if you’ve always dreamed of a pretty vintage-looking paper on the walls showcasing your romantic queen size platform bed.

If, on the other hand, you want your king platform bed and modern linens to get the spotlight in a minimalist bedroom, the paint would likely be a better option. There are, however, a few other options to consider.

For instance, wall decals. You can add beautiful quotations and favorite sayings by adding these easy to use products directly to your walls. If words on the wall aren’t your thing, there are also patterns and images available.

Stenciling continues to be popular throughout homes, with many modern and beautiful designs to choose from. Popular home decorating magazines encourage crafty individuals to get creative with the material; using it as wall coverings or creating one’s own platform bed headboard is certainly an option if you enjoy this type of project.
