Help me design my zen bedroom?
I am going to be living in a 4 bedroom flat right next to campus this school year. So excited. In a month I move in. I want my bedroom to have a very zen feel. Here are some specs…
-I will be ditching the ugly generic woodgrain bed frame that is included in our rent, instead I will just be laying the box spring and mattress on the ground, like this (thought this has just a mattress, I also like the simplicity of this room) http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d114/t-madd/Zen%20room%20designs/?action=view¤t=01dorm04132010_rect540.jpg
-I think I mostly want to do just black and white colors but am very open to suggestions
-I am getting an all white down comforter with white duvet cover
-A desk is included in the room, but it is ugly and bland. Suggest things to spice it up?
So, please suggest things to add to the room to give it a zen feel. Lights, tapestries, paintings, throw pillows, pillow cases, rugs, plants..etc. Give me any ideas that come to mind
Thank you!
I’m not sure what type of budget you’ve got for this, but I’ll give ya some relatively cheap things you could do.
- For the desk you could stain it a different color after sanding it down, or you could just buy some cheap black or white paint to spruce it up.
- The comforter sounds good. You can use any color pillows you like to make it look cooler. (Green, brown, etc.) Sometimes you can find nice pillows at places that sell them pretty cheap. (Wal-mart, Goodwill, thrift stores.) Just make sure they’re washable if you get them at a thrift store or whatever.
- For pictures I usually just print off stuff from my computer. I have black and white photos of flowers hanging on my walls now and they look beautiful. Just buy some frames and print any pictures you like.
- I would put in a small fountain kinda thing. That would be really nice. Example…

-I googled “zen plants” and found this…..

The rocks make it look really clean and nice. Maybe you would like that?
But that’s basically all I could tell ya. Good luck.
Hope this helps some.
