When updating your house, the primary bedroom is generally one of the last locations people touch. After all, unlike a living room, powder room, or kitchen, it is a location that only some guests will see. Your bedroom should reflect the mood, tone, and decor that best fits your needs, tastes, and wants. Consider if your bedroom is used for sleeping, if you enjoy movies in bed, or if you do homework or office work in your primary bedroom. You want to maximize your bedroom space to enhance your customization requirements. That being said, your primary bedroom is a space in which you spend a lot of time; it’s where you rest and recharge. You deserve to relax and wake up in a place you enjoy. You’ll get the benefits of a bedroom makeover right away.
While redecorating the primary bedroom can be expensive, especially if you’re replacing big-ticket items like the bed or the dresser, there are plenty of methods to renovate on a budget without compromising flair. We’ve gathered budget-friendly expert tips on how to give your primary bedroom a makeover that will have you looking forward to going to bed every night.
Change Your Bedding
While a new bed frame or mattress is costly, new bedding is an inexpensive method to improve the overall appearance of your primary bedroom. It is easier to replace your bedding than all of your bedroom furnishings. Choose a different color palette than you already have to make it appear and feel more ‘fresh’ to your eyes.
Add some patterned throw pillows, a new lumbar cushion, and a stylish end-of-the-bed throw as a finishing touch.
Choose a Paint Color That You Would Wear
If you’re looking for new paint colors for your bedroom, look no further than your closet. What I find most comforting and the simplest to implement is to add the color you want to dress in—whatever hue looks best on you.
Because the main bedroom is the most personal place in your home, you want it to be the most like you. And subconsciously, it’s calm and peaceful when you paint walls something that looks good on you. We recommend using high-gloss paint for dark hues and an eggshell finish for lighter colors to keep things colorful.
Organize Your Accessories
Shop your home for existing accessories and décor to update your present look. This also aids in the updating of other aspects of your home. Swapping table lamps from one bedroom to another or adding various flowers, trinkets, and picture frames, for example, will give your home a fresh look for free.
Swap out larger furnishings, such as bedside tables or an area rug, for an even more significant wow effect in your bedroom makeover.
Experiment with Texture
Furry accents like a sheepskin cushion or throw blanket will warm your bedroom. Not only are they extremely comfortable, but they also have a high-end appearance, making for a simple yet fashionable update. Do you have hardwood floors? To add quick warmth, place a furry rug in the area where you walk in and out of your bed. Those are cheaply priced and offer a lot of texture. You may find them at your local home goods store.
Purchase Pre-Owned Furniture
Buying previously owned furniture is something I enjoy and do frequently. Whether replacing your current furniture or just looking for a new statement piece to help reenergize your space for your bedroom makeover, shopping secondhand is a cost-effective option.
Wallpaper Your Accent Wall or Ceiling
Wallpaper your ceiling or accent wall to transform your bedroom altogether. The ceiling is essentially a fifth wall, and if you’re only wallpapering one wall, it’s incredibly affordable; plus, it makes a pleasant little surprise when you’re lying in bed and glances up. Do you like an accent wall? Choose a wall behind your bed or one with more depth to help it stand out.
Recycle Carpet Remnants
Installing new carpets may be out of the question, but refreshing your floors is a less expensive option. Instead of replacing your entire carpet, you may purchase a remnant and put it over your current carpet. Some fantastic leftover stores will spike them for you and sell them for pennies on the dollar.
Include a Bit of Color in Your Bed
To make a big difference, you can use a single accent color on your bed. Just one focal point can completely change the look. Adding an accent color, whether a playful-patterned cushion or a thick blanket in your favorite color, is essential for establishing contrast in a bedroom makeover.
Textiles Used as Décor
Textiles can be used as wall hangings to create immediate art. There are some exciting tapestries with many patterns. Still, it’s really about choosing yardage of your favorite fabric and then buying a pre-made frame or hanging it on a rod—or, for a more organic look, turning it on a branch on your wall. It’s a low-cost technique to achieve a dramatic look.
Designer Store or Showroom Warehouse Sales
A pro’s insider tip: Designer or showroom warehouse sales are available. Every designer has a stash of customer leftovers. They did not work in that environment. We recommend contacting your favorite designers and asking if they have unsold goods. Then you receive the designer’s touch without having to pay the designer.
Consider Mismatched Nightstands
Matchy-matchy can make you feel like you’ve been there and done that—another option for redesigning your home. Showrooms often sell samples, and there will just be one, and I believe it’s beautiful to upgrade your nightstands, and they don’t have to match.
For more storage, we propose doubling small dressers as nightstands. You can even replace your existing nightstand with a movable, multi-tiered trolley. In any case, these minor adjustments have a significant influence.
Showcase Your Memories
Choose nostalgic and personal pictures for wall art, such as turning photographs into wall hangings or murals. Whether it’s a snapshot of your family on vacation or your favorite scenery, find something that reminds you of that moment, blow it up to poster size, and display it on your wall. It can function as an art piece and as a sentimental object.
