Go to the Ikea website, and pick a bed from the comfort of your own bed.
Whatever your style, the Swedish retailer Ikea offers furnishings and accessories for a streamlined, unified and functional bedroom. Making your own Ikea bedroom is simply a matter of identifying your own tastes and deciding how much independence you need. For example, you may choose to deck out your room in one style for a perfectly uniform appearance. On the other hand, you may opt to draw elements from various Ikea lines, creating a space that is one-of-a-kind. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Take detailed measurements of your bedroom, and write them down, taking special note of ceiling height, room depth and width and window and door placement.
2. Browse the Ikea catalog or visit a store for inspiration. Both the catalog and the store have rooms decorated with Ikea merchandise so that you can get an idea of how the various styles look. For example, one room may feature the flat, streamlined Malm line, while another may showcase the more traditional Birkeland or Koppang lines.
3. Pay special attention to the measurements of the furniture to ensure that you make choices that fit the space.
4. Decide on the textures and decor you want in your room, as well as the colors. For example, many pieces of Ikea furniture are available in white, black or natural birch. The color you choose determines the mood of the room. Similarly, you can opt for storage in wicker, paper, plastic or wood, all of which have different looks.
5. Use Ikea's rating system to choose pillows and a comforter that suit your needs. Ikea rates its comforters according to warmth and materials, making it easy for you to choose the one that's right for you.
6. Purchase your Ikea furniture in a store, or order it online. If you purchase it in a store, you can take it home in flat boxes. It you order it from the catalog, it will be delivered. Once it's in your home, you will need to assemble it.
