While most of the time you spend in the bedroom, your eyes are closed, you still want your bedroom to be inviting. It should be a sanctuary where you can unwind from busy days. Decorating with a vineyard theme is one way to make your bedroom a place of rest and relaxation. You can get creative in your decorating, from the paint to the accessories. You may even be able to use things you have in your own backyard to help create a vineyard-style bedroom.

Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • Paint
  • Fence
  • Faux grapevines and grapes
  • Plastic twist ties
  • Grape vines

Instructions

    • 1

      Paint the walls of your bedroom a pale green or purple. Paint the trim a complimentary color, such as cream to go with the purple walls or a light tan to go with green walls. Choose other colors, if desired, to go along with your vineyard theme.

    • 2

      Buy a length of fence to use as a headboard for your bed. Choose a fence that would typically be strong enough to hold up grape vines. Use wood screws to attach the fencing to your bed frame.

    • 3

      Drape some faux grape vines around the upper rail of the fence. Purchase some faux grapes that you can attach to the fencing and allow to dangle from the grape vines. Use plastic twist ties to firmly hold the grapes in place.

    • 4

      Find or make bedding and curtains that have the vineyard theme running through them, whether it is actual grape vines or bottles of wine. Choose fabrics that match the color of the paint.

    • 5

      Create an arbor as a decoration for your vineyard bedroom. Purchase long grape vines and twist the vines around each other to form a trellis. Hang these around dresser mirrors, doorways or window casings.

    • 6

      Find decorative wine bottles at flea markets or antique stores. Arrange these on a shelf for display in your vineyard bedroom.

Tips &- Warnings

  • If you are unsure of what colors you should paint the walls of your bedroom to get that vineyard feel, purchase fabric for the bedding and curtains first. Use the colors in the fabric to help you choose paint colors for your walls.

  • Save money on your vineyard bedroom makeover. Use woody vines that you may already have growing in your back yard. Cut 6-foot lengths and trim off any leaves. Lay the vines out in your yard to dry for a day before twisting into a grape arbor.
