Room decorations do not have to be elaborate in order to transform your room. Little things often make a big difference. For example, matching bedspreads not only liven up a room but add continuity as well. Even a trivial item like a wastebasket can become a conversation piece. Just about anything can be turned into a table, shelving or storage.
Trunks make great tables or plant stands.
Paint or stain orange crates to match your color scheme, then stack them for shelving or use just one as a table, plant stand, etc. Plastic milk crates can serve the same purpose. Any crate makes a perfect tape or CD holder, keeping them together so they can be easily transported. Ask your local supermarket to save their crates. Again, you can stain or paint these shelves to match your color scheme or line them with wrapping paper, fabric, or shelf paper to carry out your room s theme.
