Your bedroom should be a place where you enjoy spending time and be a place to relax. With that in mind, here are tips that will help you redesign the space without a major investment of time or money.
1 – Review the layout of your furniture
Changing the layout of your room is probably the most profitable solution since it is free! With a little time and energy, you can give your space a whole new look by simply changing the layout of your furniture. The simple act of changing the direction of your bed can make all the difference in giving your bedroom a new decorating direction. By changing the locations, also remember to sort, remove the pieces that seem useless to you. Getting rid of unnecessary furniture can help open up the space and make it feel more airy.
2 – Declutter as much as possible
Start on one side of the room. Empty a first drawer or shelf and place its contents on the floor. One at a time. Clean the drawer or shelf. Sort content into two piles: 1) what you regularly use and love, and 2) what you’re going to get rid of. Go item by item and make an instant decision – when was the last time you used it? If you haven’t used it for a few months (6 months at the most), get rid of it. Once you’ve sorted the pile, put the things you like back and put them away, neatly. Put the other battery in a box to donate or recycle or give to friends and family. Do the same for the whole room. After this step, you will already have the impression of having redone your room!
3 – Change your bed linen
As the bed is the focal point of the bedroom, changing pillow covers and/or your duvet cover can be one of the most effective small changes you can make. Choosing bedding in a completely different color than what you currently have can have a huge impact. Bed linen in shades of white always works. It works in any season and can be easily layered with a cozy woolen blanket in the winter and lighter pillows in the summer. A little daring: don’t be afraid to try new colors and patterns!
4 – Customize your headboard
It is important that your bedroom is a comfortable and relaxing space, not only in terms of layout and practicality, but also from an aesthetic point of view. There is no need for a lot of furniture and accessories. In fact, the fewer the better. You can always personalize your room with things like a DIY or store-bought headboard. Many websites share good ideas.
5 – Optimize lighting
Lighting is a key element in any room, but it’s especially important when you’re thinking about creating a welcoming atmosphere in a bedroom. For an impactful change, consider your bedside lamps. The easiest solution may be to simply replace your lampshades. Or you can completely replace your bedside lamps with stylish wall sconces.
6 – Review the painting
Painting is an important and inexpensive thing to consider when giving your space a new look. Light gray or pale blue are always great options for bringing a sense of calm to your room. You can also use paint to spruce up an old piece of furniture. Consider sanding down a tired dresser or nightstand and painting it a bright color. How to make something new out of the old. And what you go to bed and wake up in a good mood!
7 – Think about your floor
Just like changing your duvet cover, adding or changing a rug can have a big impact.
Who doesn’t want to wake up with something soft under their feet? Area rugs are a fantastic way to give cohesiveness to a room. Don’t be afraid to layer a few to give the space a relaxed feel.
8 – Do not neglect storage
The bedroom should be a restful place, so you definitely need adequate storage space. To keep clutter to a minimum, consider closet organizers, storage bins, and nesting baskets. This will allow you to avoid piles of various and varied objects in your room.
9 – Dedicate yourself to your walls
Don’t forget your walls! The paint, wallpaper or hanging artwork on your walls can have a major – and instant – impact on the look and feel of your bedroom. Art should reflect your personal interests and passions. What if you chose a section of wall as your gallery? This will allow you to add your findings to it permanently. Frame cards, print black and white photos.
10 – Get professional help
If you don’t know how to design your bedroom and where to find affordable furniture and décor, decorating can easily get expensive! When you work with a designer decorator, you will certainly have to pay enough to honor his performance, but he or she will create a beautiful room for you with the budget you have defined for him. In addition, interior designers have extensive knowledge of suppliers, they know where to find items at affordable prices.
