Well it depends on who you ask. Some might be perfectly content having his or her bed up against the wall or in the corner of the bedroom. While this is a perfectly viable option, it is a bit reminiscent of a college dorm room. Adding a headboard and footboard to your bed is a simple way to add a bit of style and panache to your bedroom.

Positioned at the head of the bed, the main purpose of a headboard is to separate your head from the wall and to give you a location to put your bed pillows. The footboard, on the other hand, goes at the foot of the bed and keeps your feet from dangling off the end. While both of these pieces are functional, most people wind up getting them for aesthetic purposes – they just make the bedroom look more complete!

The fact is that a bed just doesn’t look good sitting on top of a box spring with the comforter spilling off the edge of the bed onto the floor. While most bed frames today include a headboard and footboard, wall mounted headboards and panels exist separately, providing for more versatility. Adding a stylish bed frame that includes a headboard and a footboard is a simple and cost-effective way to dress up your bedroom.

Some bed frames even give you some extra under-bed storage which is great for a small apartment.
For those of you yet questioning whether or not you really need a headboard/footboard, why not think about getting a bookcase headboard? These pieces are the perfect blend of form and function, giving you a neat and easily accessible little space to stack books and magazines, tissues, a clock radio –whatever you might normally place on a night stand.

Available in a variety of styles, there’s surely a headboard and footboard to match your personal style and home d?cor style – from an ultra modern leather (or faux leather) headboard, to a simple wood bookcase headboard, perfect for your child’s bedroom. You can even customize the look of your bedroom with a stylish upholstered headboard.

At a first glance, this weird looking gadget may seem out of place on a decor items list, however, there's more than meets the eye over here.

This nifty thing can actually effect an entire room, creating a magnificent lighting effect that is sure to catch the eye.

Sometimes you do not need to spend a fortune to fix a decorating mistake or problem. In fact, easy and inexpensive solutions are more common than you may think. over here are six cheap and simple decorating fixes.

1) Paint. Need to update a room or give it some flair. Paint is the easiest and least expensive fix there is. With a gallon or two, about $50, you can give a room a brand new look.

2) Throws and pillows. Ok, so the sofa is getting worn and dated, but the budget won't allow you to replace it yet. What to do? Casually drape some throw blankets across a corner and add some coordinating pillows. do not just put the throw over the back, have go on the corner, draping so it falls across an arm, part of the back, and over a cushion. We were selling our home and had redecorated the whole thing, but we couldn't afford new couches even though the dog had snagged the fabric with his claws. Throws and pillows covered up the problem spots and made the boring couches look romantic and inviting.

3) Area rugs. Have a problem floor or a spot? Hide it with a rug. We had refinished hardwood floors in our first home, but there was a water stain smack dab in the middle of the room that no amount of standing could fix. We didn't have the money to replace the floor so we bought a small oriental rug instead. While the rug seemed expensive at the time, it was cheaper than replacing half of the hardwood, added a warm luxurious feel to the room, and it has lasted nearly 20 years!

4) New cabinet hardware. Cabinets make a big statement in a kitchen or bath, but replacing them cost thousands of dollars. For a simple way to update and dress up cabinets, simply change the hardware. Get fancy knobs that make a statement. Spend a little extra than you may normally due to remember how much you're saving by not replacing your cabinets.

5) Slipcovers. Yes, slipcovers. No longer are these the horrid things your grandmother used. Now slipcovers come to be easily put on, sized to fit well, and designed to be attractive and modern. Do a Google search, and you'll be surprised how many you can find.

6) Sponging or rag painting. Do you have a wall that's been patched or had cracks repaired, but it's just not as smooth as it once was? A great way to camouflage it is to sponge or rag paint the wall. The inherent texture of these painting techniques can hide a multitude of plaster and dry wall sins.

See; you do not have to break the bank to easily fix some decorating problems.

Neat quick idea for an affordable window treatment over here.

Good looking window treatment does not have to be fancy. It doesn't have to be expensive either. These blinds are made, believe it or not, of white paper. Durable paper, yes, but paper all the very same. Do not expect it to last for generations to come, but for its price, it certainly does deliver both in terms of providing gentle shading and in giving your window of choice an elegant clean appearance.

Alert! This is the coolest decor idea for the ceiling light in a room. Think about it, your baby lays on his or her back most of the time, staring up at the ceiling. What ever you put up there will be deeply imprinted in the babies mind, forming neuropathways that have an affect for a life time. Most of us had blank ceilings to look at, so it's no wonder we do not all grow up to be rocket scientists. Why not give your baby a head start by using the ceiling as an educational opportunity?

This light shade is yellow like the sun, and has in orbit around it all of the planets in out solar system. When your child is quizzed about the relative size and distance from the sun of one planet to another, s/he will know that Pluto is the smallest and farthest from the sun, that mars is red, that Saturn has rings, that planet earth is third from the sun and much smaller than Jupiter. S/he might not remember why s/he knows those facts, but s/he will already have developed a love of astronomy and may be more attracted to study physics. When the universe was your baby nursery, NASA will be your adult play ground.

Other than that, this light fixture is just plain pretty, and will make the room's light soft and pretty as well.
