I'm moving into a new house, and have had to take the smallest bedroom. We won't really be able to afford new furniture so I'll have to make do with the bed I have (a single with drawers underneath for storage) How can I maximise space for study and relaxing?


Answer
A bedroom 7 feet by 8 feet is a real challenge. Put the bed against the back wall and the side wall. Next to the bed put a desk about 4 feet wide.

On the desk, place a lamp on the end close to the bed so you can use it to read by when you're in bed and close enough so you can turn it on and off.

Across from the bed about 2 feet away from the desk, put your dresser, about 4 feet high so you can put a television set on top of it and watch it from the bed.

Have everything the same color, except for a bright toss pillow om the bed and your wall hangings, posters or pictures. This last is very important. Make sure they are bright and fun to look at. Travel posters are useful for this. If the walls are a pearl white, the furniture will be best painted the same color, the headboard, the desk, and the dresser. Bedspread and curtains should be white or gray.

Or paint your walls a soft yellow, and use the same color for the headboard, desk, dresser. The bedspread and the curtains can be the same color or a little bit darker.

The other choice for color schemes that can work out nicely are soft gray and taupe. Just remember to keep everything the same color, just varying the intensity.

Where can I get cheap things to decorate my sons room?

Ok I'm moving to a new apartment and my son is going to finally get his own bedroom. He just turned 4 years old and I have no idea where to look for cheap things to decorate his room. His favorite characters are disney cars and thomas the train..me and my husband are on a budget...and we all know disney cars and thomas are not cheap. so any ideas?


Answer
I would avoid the actual Disney charecter stuff. Not only is it a little expensive, there is a good change he'll complain it is too babyish in two years. Plus, he already had toys with those charecters.

To save money, get stuff you could see in an 8 year old's room.

Bedding I think works for a 4 year old and an older boy:

For wall art, posters make a big impression. I reccomend picking posters that will fit in frames the same color as the furniture. That way later on you can just change the posters.

If the furniture is dark brown in his room, you can get this frame set for $30 http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=16566594&RN=88 You could get these:
