Congratulations! You’ve finally decided to let go of your decorations from yester years and are now planning to redo your bedroom for a more updated, stylish look.
No problem! You can still give your bedroom a makeover with a limited budget. For only $500, you can already adorn your personal space with nice items and transform it into a different and much better room.
Start by deciding on a theme for the room. Remember, you want to do fab without breaking the bank, so a minimalist design will let you get away with buying less furniture. If you are a guy, minimal is probably what you want anyway. If you are a woman, you can add your frilly and feminine touches through less-expensive accessories later. And if you are a couple, minimalist is at least a place to start; you can negotiate more redesign later.
To start turning your bedroom into a thin slice of heaven, remember that there’s no quicker or less expensive way to redo a room’s appearance than to paint the walls. Granted, it’s a messy project, but worth your time, effort and investment. If you just can’t devote a day to painting the whole room, then think of smaller alternatives. Try painting one wall – such as the wall behind your bed — in a bright and interesting color. This will give a focal point to your redecorating scheme and make it less noticeable that the other walls are still eggshell white.
Bedrooms are supposed to be serene places, so consider a calming blue, a restful green or a deeper neutral such as mocha for your painting. This doesn’t mean the color has to be boring; it can be intense, but in a small dose that doesn’t keep you up at night. Use good quality paint and you might spend as much as $40.
Follow up your painting task with a bed makeover. In addition to suiting the bed covers to the color of the room, why not replace the bed frame with a more modern form or design? It will certainly add to the minimalist look of the bedroom. Set aside $125 for this.
Bypass the typical nightstand for an occasional table made with an aluminum base and a glass tabletop. This style has several advantages: It is easier to keep clean, it adds different textures to the room for more visual interest, and it carries out the sleek urban design. A table such as this typically runs about $55.
Now add a chair, but not just any chair. Consider a Metropolitan style chair with thick padded cushions and soft upholstery. This style makes an accent that is both fashionable and functional (no more waking your partner when you sit on the bed to don your shoes). Choose a version in micro fiber fabric and you have another furniture piece that’s easy to keep clean. Chairs such as this usually cost around $200.
Hmmm…everything seems to be in place, isn’t it? A new paint, bed frame, table and chair. But hey! Decorating won’t be complete without a shag rug. That’s right, adorn your bedroom floor with a soft and beautiful floor decor. Say goodbye to a hard floor. With $55, you’ll already have a good quality shag rug.
How sweet it is to decorate without breaking the bank. In a snap, you’ll be welcoming a made over bedroom.
