Something for the kids
The possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating children’s bedrooms, but getting the balance right between something practical, magical and imaginative can be tricky. www.room-to-bloom.com/blog is the online home of interior designer Ursula Wesselingh and her blog explains the inspiration behind some of her designs. We love the painted murals and clever use of space in her bedroom designs.
Feels like home
When it comes to making the most of a guest bedroom we could probably all do with making a bit more of an effort. Decorator’s Notebook has a wealth of fantastic bedroom design ideas including their seven ingredients for the perfect guest room.

A stylish spare
www.patchworkharmony.co.uk is another great blog packed full of inspiring room designs, decorating tips and storage solutions. While you could apply blogger Caroline Rowland's vintage aesthetic to any room in your house, her tips on transforming a spare room into an extra bedroom with carefully chosen, personal touches are particularly good. Very inspiring.
Tranquil blues
blog.bodieandfou.com is the online home of interior stylist Karine Candice, founder of the concept store Bodie and Fou and it is a one-stop shop for chic, stylish interiors ideas. Karine often posts about the design projects she has created for her holiday home in France, including this tranquil blue bedroom. Her tips are easy to follow and the photographs are beautifully shot, making her blog a must for those looking for simple, stylish decorating ideas.
Time to stencil
DIY enthusiasts will love watching the stages of Gaby’s interiors projects unfold on Life in Eight. Recently she got to work on her master bedroom and her tips on designing your own stencil to create a statement wall are as easy to follow as they are inspiring.
Fall for all things French
Perhaps it’s the curves, or the faded white-washed charm, but French bedroom furniture never seems to lose its appeal. There are very different looks that can be achieved under the umbrella term of French interiors, so to decide which camp you fall into, take a look at Carole King’s deardesigner.co.uk blog. Carole has created three fabulous French bedroom schemes using furniture from The Furniture Market and wallpaper from Galerie Wallcovering.
Scandinavian elegance
Those who want a decluttered, minimalist, Scandinavian bedroom, should head to the Nordic Bliss interiors blog nordicbliss.co.uk/blog/. The blog is a celebration of stripped back, Nordic homes ideas, and a quick search for bedroom ideas brings up a fabulous collection of painted floors and neutral colour schemes with the occasional pop of colour. The bohemian bedroom is fabulous.
Making a statement
Wallpaper is a great way to conjure up a statement wall, especially in the bedroom where you’re most likely to let your personality run wild on walls. Blogger Muhsine Emin, shows you how it’s done with her summery, floral bedroom revamp. We love how she has carried on her colour scheme throughout with the cute crochet cushions and bed linen. Be inspired to be bold.
Why bother with words?
Let’s be honest, when it comes to browsing magazines or trawling the internet for bedroom decorating ideas, we’re really only interested if there’s a stunning photo or two to look at. Bearing this in mind, take a look at roomdecor.tumblr.com, a Tumblr page dedicated to gorgeous room designs. Once you’re done browsing, you can always take a photo of your freshly decorated bedroom and contribute to this ever-growing picture library.
