Give your plain pillowcase some personality!
Bedroom design can be a slippery slope of intimidation. After all, we spend a lot of time in our sleep spaces, and want them to look and feel exactly right. When it comes to DIY design, pillowcases are a great place to test your creative energy.
For one thing, a standard white pillowcase is a blank canvas, so there’s a lot you can do to them. And if things don’t turn out the way you’d hoped, they’re also relatively easy to replace, hide, or simply flip to the other side.
For more experienced crafters, they’re an affordable way to let your imagination and artistry run wild. In fact, going the DIY route with your bedroom décor can bestow a sentimental value that makes the pieces priceless, with minimal initial investment. Turning it into a fun project that you do with family or friends could give you the bonus of good bonding time, too.
Don’t get us wrong: The most important thing is to have good, quality sleep gear — pillows that are best suited for your head, sheets that cool you down or feel good against your skin, a mattress that supports your sleeping style, etc. — but it’s always nice to make them look good, too.
