Cheap Insulation for an Apartment wall that not too hard to put up or take down down besides draperies?

kids bedroom ideas for cheap image

marlen4000

I live an apartment and cannot put in permanent insulation. My bedroom is on the right on the side of the street and long driveway where many cars pass by. It's also where people front door is so I get lost of noise. Please help me.

Several ideas:
Cloth of any type will deaden sound; the fluffier the better. You could tack up some old comforters. You could use carpet padding. You could find a furniture store or warehouse that throws away styrofoam sheets and use that.

I would go with the carpet padding. If you hang it vertically you could staple it up with a minimum of holes, then cover it with cheap flat sheets for better aesthetic appeal. Walmart sells reasonably priced sheets individually packaged, and you can get the carpet padding from a discount carpet dealer.

I would also recommend getting a white noise machine. My husband used one for years when he worked midnight shift. It really helped deaden the neighborhood noises and allowed him to sleep through lawnmowers, kids , barking dogs, etc. He liked the ocean wave setting. Here's an example of a noise machine:

How about having 3 of your walls a light grey - something like this:

And, one wall - your feature wall - where the bed goes - in something like this blue:

And... then add blue, grey and white bedding - say perhaps something like this:

And... put some wall art on your walls - and if you want to add a bit of 'pop' to your room - you could add a red cushion on your bed and perhaps a red shade on a chrome base bedside lamp. The art can be in reds, blues and whites. Perhaps something like this graffiti if you like it if not think of something else i.e. you could buy some cheap art on-line or buy some artists canvases and have a go yourself:

And... perhaps buy either a blue or red rug for the side of your bed?

Hope this helps:)
