We spend a large portion of our lives in our bedrooms. If we sleep eight hours a day, we spend a third of the day in our beds.
And sometimes we spend even more time in bed when we're watching our favorite shows before we turn in. Or reading a book with our legs stretched after a long day.
However, when it comes to redesigning bedrooms, the bedroom is usually the last place to get attention. First, comes the kitchen. Then the living room. Then the bathroom.
Then our outdoor space such as a front porch, deck, or patio. Lastly, we redesign our bedrooms.
But when we finally get there, there's a lot we can do. If you're a new homeowner and looking for beautiful ideas for styling bedrooms, you've come to the right place. Here are seven tips for redesigning bedrooms for new homeowners.

Or try new bedroom lighting options. Different types of lighting can be used for different purposes. There's task lighting for your desk. There is ambient lighting that's perfect for relaxing.

Give your bedroom a new look with wallpaper. If you don't want something permanent, you can opt for removable wallpaper. Manufacturers make removable wallpaper in a wide variety of styles.
And many suit your personality. Choose an athletic theme for the sports lovers in your home. A music theme for your teenager's room. Or a paisley theme that appeals to you and your spouse, or a striped or floral theme for the guest room.
Always consider your spouse or partner when choosing wallpaper. Try not to get too gender-specific. Stay away from anything too masculine or too feminine to make you both happy. You can wallpaper entire bedrooms or create an accent wall for extra sophisticated elegance.
Your bed is the first thing you see when you look inside your bedroom. There's a joke: make your bed first and the rest of the room will look organized.
Your bed takes up the majority of the space in the bedroom so you want it to make a statement. Create a whole new look with gorgeous linens. A luxurious printed duvet in rich cotton or a sleek satin comforter can make your bedroom look dreamy.
