DIY Hipster Bedrooms

A bedroom can not be anything but a DIY design to uphold hipster culture’s individual, intellectual creative spirit. Thrift store repurposed decoration fit in a bedroom motivated by a hipster lifestyle’s eco-friendly ideals and finds.

Music and literature

Two essentials of a hipster bedroom include displays of cerebral literature and esoteric music. The bookcase of a well-educated, independent-thinking, urban young adult; also Called a hipster, may contain titles such as”The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” by Stephen Chbosky;”The Great Gatsby,” by F. Scott Fitzgerald;”The Catcher in the Rye,” by J.D. Salinger or”The Fault in Our Stars,” by John Green. Stop by a record store and look for images of bands such as Modest Mouse, Radiohead or The Strokes or albums by The Beatles or even David Bowie. Better yet, gather a few flyers of any bands that perform in your area — the better, even the obscure. Start looking for a acoustic or electric guitar or pawnshop to fill an empty corner.

Used Furniture

Furnish your bedroom as quickly as possible. Search in flea markets, thrift shops or yard sales for furniture. A small or seat couch with classic or decorative upholstery is a hipster decoration. A chic feel is provided by items that are mismatched. A cheap bookcase, end table or an old TV stand can be put to great use in a bedroom. Placing a bed mattress on the floor could be considered tacky or unkempt by mainstream standards. Dress it up with pillows, cushions and handmade blankets like a knitted afghan, Mexican blanket or colorful Indian sari quilt for a cool, bohemian-style bed.

Unusual Accessories

Fairy lights or lights make accent lighting in a bedroom. Suitcases or a kitchy, 1950’s TV panther lamp make interesting display items. Accessories that are ironic go over big in hipster fashion. A tabletop or wall-mounted piece of taxidermy fits the style but certainly feels at odds with a desire for living. Use faux taxidermy moosehead bright pink or a deer or turquoise helps fulfill that craving that is intense. Throw pillows with cultural art like sugar skulls, icons that are outdated or expressions make ideal hipster accessories.

Hipster Must-Haves

This makes them more desirable, although some must-haves of the hipster lifestyle prove to be more difficult to discover. Crocheted lampshade or A brightly colored classic typewriter are high on the list. An portable record player — or even the holy grail, an eight-track cassette player shouldn’t be passed up. Mustache decoration of any sort is not too hard and quite hipster chic to discover or make yourself. Use mason jars like bedside cups or vases, candleholders, pencil cups. Reserve an area of a wall to exhibit handmade art and photos or at least one wall. Make a collage and fill it with a combination of obscurity and unorthodox beauty.
