Update Your Dull Bedroom For $500

Congratulations! You’ve finally decided to let go of your decorations from yester years and are now planning to redo your bedroom for a more updated, stylish look.

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.

The bedroom should be a relaxing place, so select a motif that stays true to this. You would want to be able to rest and sleep well and going too red or too yellow may defeat this purpose. Use calming colors of blue, green and cream. For only $40, you can get superior quality paint.

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.

For the bedside table, opt for an equally modern look with a table that has an aluminum base and glass tabletop. Very chic and very vogue. Plus, a table like this is easier to clean. The glass material is also an interesting twist to the appearance and texture of the room. This will cost you around $55.

Add a chair to complete the comfort factor of the bedroom. A contemporary-styled chair with thick cushions and soft upholstery is perfect. Chairs that have nice embellishments and sleek lines are around $200. Quite pricey yes, but a good investment. If you want a quick change for your living room, you can always borrow this chair.

So you have a colorful wall, a new bed frame, a snappy bedside table and a great chair. What’s missing from this fab bedroom? That’s right - a shag rug! No kidding. A shag rug in a size compatible with your bedroom gives it a sense of luxurious sensuality as well as keeping your tender feet off the cold floor. And the best part is that most area rugs such as this are easy to clean -just throw it in the washer. Cost, about $55.

How sweet it is to decorate without breaking the bank. In a snap, you’ll be welcoming a made over bedroom.
