My room is filled with Pokémon stuff. It's on my table and in my drawers and cabinets. But the only thing that hasn't gotten a Pokémon makeover is my bed, aside from a few of the stuff that has spilled onto my bed, but that can hardly be called a makeover. So now I'm interested to see if I can do just that: I want to give my bed a Pokémon makeover in some way. Actually, in the past there was an attempt to do this, but I never made it all the way.
Over a decade ago, I saw a Pikachu fabric that featured Pikachu in many forms on a red check pattern. I thought it was interesting and I wanted to have it. One of my relatives thought of a better idea: instead of just having it as it is, it was better to turn it into a bedspread for my then-smaller bed. And this actually happened... but that was the only thing that happened. I didn't deal with the pillows or the sheets, though in the back of my mind, I was thinking of doing those as well.
Fast forward to today, now I have a larger bed, and that bedspread is inaccessible; even if it was accessible, it wouldn't fit my current bed. So now it becomes clear that I have to make a new bedspread to fit my larger bed. While I'm at it, I might as well make pillow cases, since all my other bed coverings include those as a set. The fabric, however, will be the tough part; I can't hope to find that Pikachu fabric again, but maybe I can find an alternative. Another idea is to print Pokémon images on a certain fabric and use that for coverings, but this isn't practical and I would save it for a last resort - this would be true for the sheets as well.
What about the two pillows I bought some time ago? While they look attractive, I wouldn't want to put them where I actually sleep. I want to keep them decorative and put them away from where I sleep. I'm also not interested in a huggable bolster pillow (also known as a dakimakura), though it could be fun to have one. I like simplicity in the actual area where I sleep, so all I need is the pillow for my head and sheets, and I'm all set. All decorations like these can stay at the foot of my bed or another portion where I don't sleep on.
Putting actual Pokémon touches on my bed is still something I occasionally think of, given that I've had an actual history of an attempt to do so. Yet there are also a few things to think about should I undertake this right now. Even so, simplicity is a good thing and something I'm in favor of, so I consider that only a few things are really needed for my own attempt at doing this. In any case, I believe that I can do something even greater and better-looking this time around.
