How to Decorate Bedroom With Twilight

Imagery similar to the book covers can add character to your room and wall murals.

Twilight has captivated millions of teens around the world with its forbidden romance and mysterious danger. What better way to profess your love for the book and for Edward (and Jacob) than to decorate your room with a beautiful, mysterious and romantic Twilight theme?

Things You'll Need

• Turquoise paint
• Light Furniture
• Paper Lanterns / White lights
• Purple bed set
• Cork Board
• Pins
• Picture cutouts
• Roses
• Candles
• Piano Music

Instructions

1. Decorate your bedroom the way Bella's is in the movies. Go for turquoise-colored walls and match them with light-colored wooden furniture. Bella's room also features a very soft glow, especially at night. She accomplishes this by using very soft lighting. Simply hang some paper lanterns and drape them across the room. Soft white Christmas lights may also be used to add a soft, twinkling glow.

2. Purchase Bella's bed set. The purple bed set that was used in the movie was available at Target, but was discontinued in 2009. Target is re-releasing this popular design as of May 2010, so get it before it is sold out!

3. Create wall murals. Use a simple cork board from your local craft store and pin pictures and items from Twilight to it. Print out pictures of Edward, Bella, and Jacob from the Internet and stick them together with pictures from the covers of the book. Intermittently place popular phrases from the books in with all the photos, such as the popular, "And so, the lion fell in love with the lamb." Get creative and complete your mural by adding anything that reminds you of Twilight.

4. Decorate with red. Deeply colored roses or simply red candles come up a lot in the movies. If you're steering clear of decorating like Bella's room, but still want to have a Twilight color theme, stick with reds and accentuate with white, neutrals and black. These colors are more present in the books and on the covers.

5. Set a mood. The main mood throughout the books is one of romance and mystery. To have a true Twilight bedroom, your room needs to also inspire these moods and feelings. Do this by placing candles around and using delicate items, such as wispy laced curtains or an antique jewelry box. Complete the romantic feelings with some light music, particularly soft piano music like Edward would play for Bella, to fully create a perfect Twilight bedroom.
