Decorating or remodeling your bedroom does not have to cost you a fortune. Let us discuss a number of things you could consider doing to give your bedroom a fresh, new look, and keeping within your budget.
The Color scheme
By changing the color scheme of your bedroom you would be giving a vital new element to the room. Changing the color scheme plays a significant role in any remodeling process since at the end of the day the color chosen will determine several other decisions. When deciding which type of color you will select, make sure to keep in mind the fact that this is a bedroom, so the color chosen should evoke feelings of restfulness and peace.
Besides, you have to consider the fact that you will have to adapt the color of your soft furnishings such as the quilt cover, bedspread, cushions, curtains and upholstered chairs, amongst others. The colors of these items will have to match to the wall color that you opted for.
If you do not wish to spend a lot of money you may try to select a color that can still accommodate the shade of your current soft furnishings, or at least most of them. For example, if your current color is pink and your soft furnishings are also pink, you may select lilac as the new wall color, to enable you to retain the pink furnishings since the shade is similar and not contrasting. Instead of painting the wall you may wish to use wall paper or wall paneling to provide a totally new effect to your bedroom.
Soft furnishings
If the budget set for the remodeling process enables you to change all the soft furnishings in your bedroom, then go for it because soft furnishings make or break a room. The curtains for instance are one of the most fundamental elements in any room. So when remodeling it is practically a must to install new curtains.
Since we are discussing bedroom remodeling there are several soft furnishings to consider changing, ranging from all the fabrics associated to the bed, such as the bedspread, blankets and quilts, the quilt cover, cushions, bed sheets and pillow cases. Only when you are done choosing the wall paint and when the rest of the room decor is set, you may add a final touch – choosing the right color of the quilt covers.You would also have to consider changing any carpets and rugs that you have in the room.
The furniture and style
There are various styles of bedroom furniture such as modern, vintage, rustic, country, classical, Victorian and contemporary. Each comes with a variety of wood types or other finishes. So you will have to shop around so as to compare prices, and make a well informed decision.
The lights
Depending on the style you select you will have to adapt the lighting fixtures in your bedroom. If you go for a classic style you will probably choose a chandelier, whereas if you preferred a more modern style you may choose spotlights or stainless steel fixtures.
The paintings and wall hangings
Paintings and wall hangings obviously have to be matched to the style of the room. Older styles should be matched by large portraits and paintings, whereas modern bedrooms usually incorporate trendy wall hangings with more colors and a different artistic perspective.
Make sure you devote a lot of time and pay attention even to the smallest detail when remodeling your bedroom, because at the end of the day you have to create a cozy, relaxing environment where you can rest and enjoy a pleasant atmosphere.
