Budget Bedroom Decor Ideas
A bedroom is your space where, after a whole day’s work, you need to slow down, get comfortable, relax and sleep. Your bedroom is your personal space which you can design exactly according to your personality and preferences. Depending upon the purposes for which you use your bedroom, you can design your bedroom accordingly.
For example, some people use this space only for sleeping and feeling relaxed while some use it for relaxing, breakfast combined with a little office work on the side. But the basic element of relaxation remains the same. We have a list of a few DIY and budget ideas for redecorating or adding a little kick to your room to give it a new and fresh look
Create your Spa Bedroom on a Budget
Why wait for the weekend to go to the spa, spend money, relax and then drive all the way back home to get tired again when you can create your own little spa heaven at home where you can unwind and relax everyday. Your Spa Bedroom? Yes! The calming space where you can focus on yourself and relax at the same time.
Your place to recharge and wake up pampered can be created with a few simple low budget ideas as follows:
- Choose soft beddings with neutral colours and pure fabric
- Make sure that the storage places are covered and nothing creates distraction in the harmonious room
- Use soft colours and textures for the curtains
- Choose good lighting that is calming to the senses. Use dimmer switches to change the brightness according to your mood
- Make the space cosy with a rug on the floor
- Add aromatic candles to your side tables and light them up for aroma and soft light
- If you can, then add a small water feature in the room to create a calming sensation with the sweet noise of water
- Keep all electronic items specially cell phones away from sight while you are in the bedroom
Bring Spring Time to your Bedroom
Who doesn’t like spring? What if you can feel the freshness and bring spring into your room at a very low cost and enjoy its goodness during any time of the year? All you need to do is:
- Add floral sheets or pillowcases paired with crisp white linens on the bed. Pick patterns with white backgrounds to keep the floral theme harmonious
- Add stick-on flowers to lamp shades in your bedroom to give a fresh flowery look
- Drape your bedside tables with vintage floral tablecloths
- Add fresh flowers/sunflowers to a vase and keep them in front of a window or on your dresser
- If you have an option, go for white furniture pieces or paint your current furniture white to give the perfect fresh spring look to the room.
Your spring room is ready for you to enjoy.
Create an Image Gallery on your Bedroom Wall
Choose a colour theme for room décor and create an image gallery that follows that theme to create an interesting wall in your room in a small budget. All you need to do is to simply select images of your choice that work in accordance with the colour theme of your room, get these images printed on a canvas, get the canvases framed and finally place them on a wall in form of a grid.
You can also get photo prints on canvas from any special occasions like weddings, birthday parties or family vacations and make a photo gallery wall in your room. You can also get framed photo prints on canvas and arrange them geometrically on the wall to be on the safe side.
Amplify Your Bedroom with Mirrors
Mirrors can enhance the décor of any room. Mirrors or mirror wall arts not only look beautiful but also add an expanded and roomier look to the room. For small spaces, go for at least three-fourths of the wall covered with plain mirror. This will create an instant feel of a larger space than there really is.
Mirrors placed on opposite walls of the window can also help in making your room much brighter by reflecting the natural light coming inside the room.
Beautify your Book Shelves
Ideally, bookshelves should not be made a part of the bedroom and should be placed in the living rooms or home office. In case you have no other choice but to put the old and boring book shelf in your bedroom, try making it bright and fun. All you need to do in this case is to paste some fun wall paper pieces to the inner sides of the bookcase compartments to give it a fresh look.
Idea: On a bright painted white bookshelf, add a pop of colours by pasting a colourful magenta or royal blue wallpaper pieces at the back of a bookshelf. Arrange books artfully on these shelves in such a way that there is room for the wallpaper to peep from behind.
Add Embellished Lampshades to your Bedroom
Brighten up your room with an updated lampshade. All you need to gather for this project is ready-made appliqués with peel away adhesive back. Look for appliques that reflect your style and choice and match with the theme of your room. These appliques are usually found in the scrapbooking section of craft stores. You can simply peel away and reveal their stick-on back to be attached to the lamp.
You can also use sequins and small mirrors for a classy look and attach them to the lamp shade with hot glue.
