When the time comes to give your bedroom a little makeover, it is normal to wonder where the best place is to start. On top of that, our next thought is likely to cost. Luckily, you don’t need to spend huge amounts of money to make your bedroom look stylishly brand new. This post will give you some tips to achieve a bedroom that looks newly renovated without spending a small fortune.
Add layers
Layering is the oldest trick in the book to making your room look and feels professionally designed. From blankets and cushions to rugs, there are plenty of ways to make your room feel better styled. These layers are perfect for the winter, as they add that touch of coziness that can make coming home from a long day all the more worth it.
In the summer, try layering lighter materials to achieve a more fresh and airy atmosphere. When choosing blankets, try to look for something with more neutral colors as these are far easier to work into existing and future design schemes. When it comes to rugs, look to thicker pile rugs such as shaggy rugs for that added comfort. Their fluffy texture brings not only depth, but warmth too thanks to its insulating properties.
Flooring
You might think that flooring is a huge expense, but you don’t change your floor every day and it’s an investment that will stand the test of time and also add extra value to your home if you were to sell it.
Solid wood flooring is not only durable but it also comes in a wide range of colors that will give your bedroom that extra touch of luxury that you’re after.
Lights
To start with, you should try and have your bedroom as the room in your house that has to most access to natural light. It is proven that natural light improves your mood, keeps you healthy and increases your quality of sleep. Of course, I know this is not always possible, so for artificial light, I recommend a ceiling light. This will be the main source of light in the bedroom, but in order to create a bit of atmosphere you could play with bulb shades, fairy lights, or candles for a more atmospheric look.
Colors and mirrors
If your bedroom is small, you need to choose light tones to make it look larger. I’m not just talking about walls and floors but also talking about your bedding. The bed is the focal point in your bedroom so the colors of the bedding will clearly determine the aspect of the room. Nowadays, you can’t find great pieces of bedding for not very much money, so it will be easy to find something you like. When you’re next picking up your weekly food shop, why not check out the home accessories aisle, you’ll be surprised the amount of affordable yet stylish pieces you can get.
So there you have it, some tips that will help you in redecorating your bedroom. Ultimately, what matters is that your bedroom is in keeping with your personal theme and style.
