New bedding can give your bedroom a mini-makeover.
You spend a lot of time in your bedroom, whether you're sleeping, getting ready for work in the morning or cuddling with your loved ones. As time passes, your bedroom's style becomes outdated. You can easily spend thousands of dollars and a few months creating a whole new look for your room, but it's not an economically feasible idea when you can just as easily and more affordably give your bedroom a mini-makeover.
Instructions
1. Rearrange your bedroom furniture. This makeover method doesn't even require going to the store and spending money. Rearranging your bedroom furniture gives you room a new look instantly. Arranging your furniture just right may open up more space in your room, and you'll most likely find clutter in your room that just doesn't belong anymore and can be donated or thrown away.
2. Update your lighting fixtures. Replace your old ceiling fan or ceiling light with a chandelier. Switch your side table light bulbs with those that are economically-friendly, such as fluorescent lights. Or, get rid of side table lamps altogether and replace them with recessed lighting above your bed. Make use of natural lighting in your bedroom by accenting windows with light-colored drapes.
3. Hang your favorite large painting or enlarged photograph on the wall over your bed instead of several smaller paintings or pictures. This single piece can serve as the focal point in your bedroom. If you prefer not to hang anything over your bed, purchase or make a decorative headboard.
4. Purchase new bedding that matches your style and room. If your walls are filled with artwork and pictures, stick with plain bedding that is only one or two colors. If your walls are bare, choose patterned bedding. While you're purchasing new bedding, pick up some matching window curtains.
5. Paint your bedroom walls a new color. Simply changing the color of your walls gives your bedroom a completely new look in just a few hours. Neutral-colored walls make your room appear to be larger, while bright colors give your bedroom a welcoming feel. If you prefer wallpaper, choose a wallpaper that is abstract and bold; it functions as both wall color and artwork.
