Ideas For Decorating Your Bedroom For A Lot Less

Do you want to give your bedroom a new do but sadly, you are out of cash?

No problem. You can make fab out of drab with a bedroom redecorating scheme that will cost a mere $500.

Start by deciding on a theme for the room. Remember, you want to do fab without breaking the bank, so a minimalist design will let you get away with buying less furniture. If you are a guy, minimal is probably what you want anyway. If you are a woman, you can add your frilly and feminine touches through less-expensive accessories later. And if you are a couple, minimalist is at least a place to start; you can negotiate more redesign later.

To start turning your bedroom into a thin slice of heaven, remember that there’s no quicker or less expensive way to redo a room’s appearance than to paint the walls. Granted, it’s a messy project, but worth your time, effort and investment. If you just can’t devote a day to painting the whole room, then think of smaller alternatives. Try painting one wall - such as the wall behind your bed — in a bright and interesting color. This will give a focal point to your redecorating scheme and make it less noticeable that the other walls are still eggshell white.

For recommended colors, go for calming hues. You’re painting the bedroom after all, so it must still be a place for relaxation even if it will be transformed into a va-va-voom new space. Shades of blue, light green, pastels, tans, creams and white are ideal colors to achieve a soothing ambiance.

Shell out money for a new bed frame. Believe me, it will make a world of difference. For as little as $125, you can already get a good frame. For a minimalist style, choose a frame with sharp and sleek lines and not the bulky one.

Bypass the typical nightstand for an occasional table made with an aluminum base and a glass tabletop. This style has several advantages: It is easier to keep clean, it adds different textures to the room for more visual interest, and it carries out the sleek urban design. A table such as this typically runs about $55.

With a table comes a chair. Do away with the usual bedroom oversized chair and instead try a Metropolitan style chair with padded cushions. It is a very stylish furniture that will suit the more modern look of the nightstand. You can place the chair in the corner or by the bed as well. Chairs of this kind cost around $200. Not a bad price considering its funky design.

Hmmm…everything seems to be in place, isn’t it? A new paint, bed frame, table and chair. But hey! Decorating won’t be complete without a shag rug. That’s right, adorn your bedroom floor with a soft and beautiful floor decor. Say goodbye to a hard floor. With $55, you’ll already have a good quality shag rug.

You can always add other decors if you so wish. These tips are just your groundwork for decorating on a budget. In no time at all, your bedroom will look good as new.
