Rock & Roll Bedroom Ideas
Diehard rockers may want to live and breath rock 'n' roll, making a rock 'n' roll bedroom the perfect setting in which to get a night's rest. By decorating a bedroom in a rock 'n' roll style, you can craft an eclectic space that is reflective of the inhabitant's interests. Because the genre of rock 'n' roll is all about breaking the rules, you shouldn't feel confined to a predetermined set of decorating standards when creating this space. Does this Spark an idea?

Album Art Wall Decor
-
Although records are largely a thing of the past, the colorful square covers that use to house them could serve perfectly as a wall accent in your rock 'n' roll bedroom. Gather some old album covers featuring bands that the room inhabitant prefers. Frame each and hang them on your wall or, for a more pieced-together look, create a tiled effect, filling the entire wall with album covers placed close to each other for effect.
Concert-Style Lighting
-
Instead of just going with the standard lighting in your space, arrange lighting that is decidedly more rock 'n' roll. Place some track lighting along one wall, and fill it with different-colored bulbs so, when on, it washes the room in different colors, much like concert lighting would. Or place a strobe light or disco ball in the corner, readying the room for the next time the inhabitant feels the urge to rock out.

CD Mobile
-
Take advantage of the reflective properties of CDs to create an interesting structure to hang in your space. Use old CDs or, if you have none to spare, blank CDs, and suspend them from translucent threads. Hang each of the CDs from the ceiling, placing them at varying heights to add interest to the display. Shine some light on these CDs to make the display more reflective and shiny.
Concert T-Shirt Quilt
-
Transform old rock 'n' roll concert T-shirts into a bed covering by creating a concert T-shirt quilt. Clip apart old Ts, cutting them into squares, and quilt the squares together, placing contrasting fabrics between each T-shirt square. Use this quilt as your primary bed cover, or simply as an extra cover to put at the bottom of your bed.
Instrument Wall Hangings
-
Make your passion for music immediately apparent to all who enter the room by creating instrument wall hangings. Purchase old instruments from garage sales or thrift stores to use in your room. Attach each instrument to the wall securely, using screws to hold them in place. To make these additions a bit more rock 'n' roll, spend time tending to the look of the instruments, painting flames on some or enameling others in bold rock-'n'-roll-ready hues.
