 How to Redesign Your
Bedroom on a Small Budget
Has your bedroom stayed the same for
the last 20 years? Do you want to make it into a fun, cool bedroom, but
without spending money on new furniture? We have some ideas for you to
do just that - re-do your bedroom on a budget!
Give your bedroom a
coat of
paint.
Nothing freshens up a room like a new
coat of paint. Make it into a weekend project and involve your kids -
you can do something together, and at the same time, create a whole new
bedroom that you need.
We don't recommend painting the bedroom walls into bright colors. Beige,
peach, light and pastel blues and greens work best. Make sure that your
new wall color coordinates with your furniture, as you are not buying
new furniture.
Organize your bedroom.
Sometimes all a room needs is organization, to look completely
different. Many bedrooms are full of kids toys, old clothes and even
dishes, that should be in the kitchen. Put those items away, and
organize the rest of the room to make it look very different. |
Rearrange your
bedroom
furniture
Sometimes the best way to decorate without a budget is to use the same
furniture, but rearrange it, and add something else into the mix.
Walk around your house
you will find a chair in the basement, or an ottoman in the family room,
that will look great in the bedroom. Use those to create a whole new
bedroom - with your old furniture.
Get new wall art for
your bedroom
Add a splash of color to the room with some new wall art (or borrow some
art from another room). Another idea is to frame some of your kids'
drawings, or draw something yourself.
New bedding,
pillows, bedspreads
It is amazing how much you can change a room by adding just one new item
to it. Pick some new bedding or a bedspread that you really wanted, and
splurge on them! You will have a great looking bedroom in no time.
Remember, updating a bed room does not
mean buying everything new for it. Use some (or all) of our ideas to
completely re-do your bedroom. You will be glad you did.
