8 Budget Makeovers To Boost Your Bedroom Look

1. Clean Your Bed

If you don't know where to start, then your bed is the perfect place. Are you sheets in need of a good wash?. Put them in the washer. Does your mattress feel flat and uncomfortable? Consider purchasing a new one. Sleeping on an old mattress can be painful to your back. Upgrading your bed, whether it be the bed sheet or the mattress itself, already adds value to your bedroom. 

 

2. Declutter Your Closet

Decluttering your closet could truly make or break your bedroom. There's nothing messier than a pile of unfolded clothes all over the room. It truly makes your bedroom feel cluttered and stuffed, and at times, dirty. You may think, “but how can decluttering my closet help improve my bedroom’s look?” Well, it all starts somewhere. The reason for the piles of clothes in your rooms actually stem from a crowded closet. Having a full closet (that any minute from now, your clothes may come bursting out of there) can be an avenue of mess. Consider grabbing a box or two and taking out ten things from your closet that you haven't worn in the past 5 years. Keep what is useful to you and donate or sell the ones you no longer use.

 

3. Add Color To Your Bedroom

If you have a neutral-colored wall, you may feel your bedroom being quite bland. But luckily, this is a quick fix. Bring in a new color that will brighten up the look of your bedroom. Pick two of your most favorite colors and repeat the vibrant hues in your cosmetic upgrade. You can also consider adding an aesthetically-pleasing wallpaper that can lighten up your room any time of the day.

 

4. Add In Accent Pillows

Accent pillow sometimes just do the trick by themselves. A bed with clean, white sheets may seem dull, but with 2 or 3 bright accent pillows, you can totally improve the overall look of your bed. As the bed serves as the natural focal point, nicely designed pillows can give more vibrance to the space it occupies. If you are not a big fan of colorful and bright colors but still wish to bring more interest to your bed, consider adding a long throw pillow with a neutral color and pattern on it. 

 

5. Upgrade Your Headboard

Headboards serve many benefits. Aside from making your sleep more peaceful (not bumping your head into the wall), headboards actually bring a personal touch to your bedroom. The options for headboards are truly infinite. We recommend opting for the one that best complements the overall tone and hue of your bedroom furniture, ,such as your closet, dresser carpet, etc. For a low-cost upgrade, consider adding a lovely, dramatic fabric that covers your entire headboard to create a dreamy scene in your bedroom.

 

6. Hang A Mirror Or Two

One way to make your bedroom seem more spacious is by adding a big mirror in it. Mirrors can give the illusion of spaciousness by reflecting existing natural light. You can either have a mirror as a headboard or have one leaning on a wall. Either one works. Another great benefit of a mirror is simply its convenience. Having a mirror near the area where you usually get dressed could really help out, especially when you are in a hurry to head out. One quick glance at your mirror and you are good to go. 

 

7. Display Personal Artworks

If you are a creative soul, then this is the perfect opportunity to take pride in your accomplishments. Displaying your personal artwork is a great way to establish your bedroom's unique personality. If you are not much of an artistic sporty, then hanging painting is ideal too. Buy paintings that will match the emotions you wish to have as soon as you enter the bedroom.  If you strive for a more relaxed feel, consider adding an ocean painting, or any artwork that includes water in it. If you wish to create a more romantic atmosphere, then adding a painting of a lovely couple in red tones could really help bring that through. This is your time to get creative!

 

8. Choose the right fixture

Lighting is vital in establishing the mood in any room. But in most bedrooms, overhead lighting is not that essential. Instead, you may want to focus on accent lighting such as bedside lamps, in order to create a more warm and romantic feel. It is best to change to warmer fluorescent bulbs to create a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom.
