What are some cheap ways to decorate your room beachy?

Friday, October 28th, 2011 at 4:01 pm

So, I will be painting my room in 2 weeks but I want more changes than that, I’d like some suggestions ! The walls will be all cream with one brown accent wall, which is the one with a window. My bedspread is simply navy blue and white. I wanted to try something new with my room, but I have no idea where to start. I have a white bookcase that can’t be painted, a HUGE (6′ ?) black barred cage for my chinchilla, a white desk with a brown top on it, a brown dresser, and a small dark wash wooden bedside cabinet thing with a white marble top. It’s basically all of my parent’s old furniture that I got stuck with, but it’s all I have. I can’t buy new furniture at all so what do I do?
Like I said, I’d like some cheap, do it yourself way to add to the beachy-ish feel to my room.

You can paint all pieces of furniture that you don’t really care about the color of, white. That’s the first step I think. Also you can look for a cheap white wicker bench/chair, and get cheap cushion to go in it. If you want, and have the money you could get a new comforter. Get shells for cheap, of different colors and could use a mirror you already have and put shells around the outside of it.

go to target and look through their home decorations and things like that. they have wall ornaments, paintings, etc that are beachy themed. i would put starfish on the wall and things like that! you could also buy a fish for cheap and a fishbowl to add more to the theme.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
