Bedroom Decor Ideas with Fairy Lights and Neon Signs

You do not need to repaint or buy new furniture to change how a bedroom feels. A few strings of fairy lights and one neon sign can turn a plain room into the cosiest corner of the house. Here are easy ideas that work in rented flats and hostel rooms too.

1. Curtain lights on the window

Hang strings straight down behind a sheer curtain, as in the photo above. At night the fabric softens the light and the whole window glows. Use small adhesive hooks along the top of the frame so you do not need to drill.

2. A glowing headboard

Run a string along the top of the headboard, or pin it to the wall above the bed in a gentle wave. Warm yellow is the most relaxing colour for a bedroom.

3. Fairy lights in glass jars

Bunch a short string inside a glass jar or bottle and place it on the bedside table, a shelf or the study desk. It makes a soft night light.

Short 3 m strings with crystal balls or maple leaves are made for this.

4. A neon feature wall

One LED neon sign gives a room a personality. A butterfly suits a girl's room or a study corner, and a love sign suits a couple's room or a gift. Hang it at eye level on a plain wall and keep other lights dim so it stands out.

5. Light up the shelves and mirror

Weave a string between books on a shelf, or frame a mirror with a short string. It is a small touch, but it makes the room look styled.

6. A photo string

Hang a string across the wall and clip your favourite photos to it with small wooden pegs. It is a lovely birthday or anniversary surprise.

7. Add music

A mini Bluetooth speaker on the shelf completes the cosy-evening setup.

Tips for a cosy, safe room

• Choose warm yellow for bedrooms; save cool white for study areas.
• Keep lights and cables away from bedding, curtains near heaters, and water.
• Switch lights off when you sleep or leave the room.
