One of the most used rooms in your home is the bedroom, and it can be a contributing factor to how much you love your home. Upgrading your bedroom can be difficult on a budget, but not impossible. Finding the right tricks, purchasing sale items, and only splurging when necessary are the best ways to makeover the space on a budget. There are many aspects of a bedroom that can be upgraded or redone to make the space feel brand new, without breaking the bank. Here are some areas to focus on during your bedroom makeover and how you can save money in the process.
Change The Paint Color
One of the easiest and cheapest ways to upgrade your space is to refresh the paint. Gallons of paint are relatively cheap, especially for a moderate-sized room like a bedroom where only one gallon is often enough to coat the room. Your room will have a whole new look when you change up the paint color or the paint finish. Order some testers or pick up some free paint swatches before fully committing to a color.
Adding an accent wall to your bedroom is another way to make the makeover feel more expensive. An accent wall is one wall that is a different color or pattern than the rest of the room. Add some stripes or a geometric pattern to bring more whimsy to your bedroom.
Curate A Quality Bedside Table
In order to makeover a bedroom on a budget, purchasing new furniture may not be in the cards. If you have bedside tables already, curating the decorations with your essential nighttime items is the best way to make them look brand new. Clear off clutter from the top of a bedside table, add a thrifted lamp or some greenery to elevate your decor. Store eye creams, snacks, or tissues in the drawers rather than on top of the side table. Make the bedside table more of a focal point in the bedroom by choosing curated pieces of decor and coffee table books to bring the entire space together.
Use A Large Rug
One of the best ways to make a space feel more cozy is to add more textiles, including a rug. A large area rug can boost the comfort of a bedroom, add more color, or tie other colored accents all together. Large rugs can add up quickly in price, so our recommendation is to search antique stores, thrift stores, or furniture resale stores to find a rug that is more affordable for those on a budget.
For those on a budget, an area rug can act as a cover-up for areas that you may not be able to afford to fix. Large area rugs may cover up stains, sun discoloration, or damaged flooring that dull the appearance of your bedroom. Use a rug to make the space feel more put together and cover up some problem areas.
Paint Or Restain Furniture
Making over your bedroom can often give homeowners the itch to purchase new furniture, but when you are on a budget, purchasing a whole new bedroom set can increase the price of the makeover significantly. Instead of purchasing all new furniture, upcycle your current pieces with new paint or furniture stain. There are countless upgrades you can make to different furniture pieces to make them more modern or match your new bedroom set up. Add a fresh coat of bold paint, thrift unique knobs or handles, refresh the stain on wood pieces, add paper inside dresser drawers, and so much more.
Hit Up The Thrift Store
Antique and thrift stores can be a great place to find more budget-friendly pieces for a bedroom makeover. You may have to visit multiple thrift stores to find pieces that work for your personal style and your bedroom layout, but you will save a significant amount of money. Thrift stores and antique stores will feature budget-friendly makeover options for frames, side tables, rugs, pillows, dresser knobs, lamps, and sconces.
Splurge On Long-Lasting Pieces
Making over your bedroom can be done on a small budget, but if you are looking to splurge on something, the best way to invest your money is on furniture pieces that will last for generations. Large pieces like bedframes, dressers, benches, or bedside tables are all pieces where quality is more important than saving money. Purchasing these pieces new at one point in your life will give you years of use and stability. A high-quality bedframe or dresser will keep the space looking tidy and keep you comfortable even as your style changes.
