around the corner, and while many people will be busy with egg hunts and chocolate feasts, why not use the long weekend to give your bedroom a bit of a refresh? With a few simple DIY projects, you can transform your space without breaking the bank – and burn off some of that Easter chocolate while you’re at it!
Here are some easy (but effective) bedroom DIY ideas to keep you busy this Easter.
1. create a feature wall
If your bedroom walls are looking a bit plain, now’s the perfect time to add a splash of personality. A DIY feature wall can be as simple or as bold as you like too. We’re thinking along the lines of a fresh coat of paint in a statement colour, some peel-and-stick wallpaper, or even a DIY gallery wall with your favourite prints and photos, all displayed in funky frames.
Top tip: If you’re renting or don’t want to commit to paint, try removable wallpaper or washi tape designs – no damage, no stress!
2. upcycle your furniture
Before you splash out on new furniture, take a look at what you already have at home. That old chest of drawers or bedside table might just need a fresh coat of paint, some new handles, or a creative touch to bring it back to life. Furniture upcycling is great fun and if you need any inspiration to get you started, a quick Google or a flick through Pinterest will yield a whole pile of suggestions.
Try this: Use chalk paint for a trendy matte finish, or try a wood stain if your bedroom is all about the rustic vibes.
3. upgrade your bedding & mattress
If we’re being totally honest, a good bedroom makeover isn’t just about how things look. How comfy it feels matters too. If your mattress has seen better days or your pillows are flat as a pancake, Easter is a great excuse to treat yourself to an upgrade.

4. diy bedside lighting
Tired of your old bedside lamp? Try a DIY upgrade! Fairy lights in a mason jar, wall-mounted sconces, or even a stylish pendant light can completely change the mood of your bedroom. Lighting is super important for setting the ambience of your bedroom. Warm light provides a more welcoming feel than bright, white light which can feel a bit cold and clinical in the bedroom.
Quick fix: Stick-on LED lights are an easy, renter-friendly way to add ambient lighting without wiring headaches.
5. organise & declutter
Spring cleaning and Easter go hand in hand, so why not tackle that messy wardrobe or overflowing bedside table? Invest in some under-bed storage, floating shelves, or cute baskets to keep everything neat and tidy. If you’re planning a bit of a decluttering session ahead of the Summer months, our blog provides all the tips and tricks you need.
Decluttering hack: Haven’t used it in a year? Donate it! A clutter-free space means a clutter-free mind.
6. add a touch of nature
A houseplant or seventeen can do wonders for your bedroom. Bedroom plants instantly add a feeling of freshness and can even help in improving the air quality in your sleep space. If you don’t have a green thumb, low-maintenance options are available! Think succulents, snake plants, or even some dried pampas grass for a trendy, more contemporary look.
No Space? Hang small planters from the ceiling or attach them to the wall with funky hanging brackets.
7. create a cosy reading nook
If you’ve got a little corner going spare in your bedroom, why not turn it into a snug reading nook? A comfy chair, a soft throw, and a small shelf for your favourite books can create the perfect little setting to escape from the world.
Bonus idea: Add a weighted blanket for extra cosiness – perfect for those chilly UK evenings.
