With college basketball gearing up for March Madness, why not get in on the game by decking out your room in your with college bedding and accessories from your favorite team? You've already got your brackets printed off and filled out, and you're ready to catch as many games as you can to see if your picks make it to the Final Four.

Maybe you used to like your comforter, but now it's old and your dog has chewed off the end. Or maybe your cat has used your sheets as a scratching post. Of course, you may just be good and ready for a change.

Throw out the old and update your room with these college theme decorating tips.

First things first: What stays and what goes

Before you start throwing Texas Longhorns all over your bedroom, the first thing you need to do is take inventory of what needs to stay and what needs to go. No matter how much you love that old green chair, if it's got holes the size of dinner plates in the upholstery and hasn't matched anything since 1972, it's probably time to bid it a quiet and respectful good-bye.

Once you've decided what's worth keeping, it's time to move on to the next phases.

Getting college theme bedding

As the biggest piece of furniture in your bedroom, the bed is a natural centerpiece. Whether you're going with the Kansas Jayhawks or the UCLA Bruins, the bed will be the anchor for your room. Check online to see what kind of college theme bedding is available. Some online bedding sites are having March Madness promotions, so you could get a pretty good discount on college bedding.

Whether you're doing a full bedroom makeover or just a partial, just adding a new comforter can make a world of difference.

Dressing the windows

If you're trying to save money, consider using your college theme sheets as curtains. Just use some fabric glue to hem them, and you've got yourself an inexpensive set of curtains. If money isn't a concern, look online for some college theme curtains to keep with the theme. Again, this is a good time of year for it because of March Madness promotions.

Rearrange the furniture

Sometimes just pushing the furniture around your room will give it fresh, new look. If that's not enough for you, consider adding college theme pillows or throw blankets to current chairs to keep the theme going. Or, you could always pick up another inexpensive piece, like a college theme sphere chair, to give yourself some extra sitting room.

Spruce up the floor

If you have a bit more cash and time, think about bigger bedroom elements, like the floors. You can replace a frayed carpet with hardwood just like the court, adding a college theme rug to protect your bare feet on cold mornings. Rugs can also cover a carpet you're not in the mood to replace. Bring on the color with a luxurious foot-loving Texas Longhorns rug.

By just changing a few things in your bedroom, you can easily update your look to make it better reflect you. And with college theme bedding, you also get the chance to show off your team spirit and put yourself in the running for an ultimate fan award. Don't delay! If bedroom redecoration is in your future, get your college theme bedding before the Final Four gets here.
