The Bedroom A Forgotten Room

It appears that the bedroom is the most neglected room in the house when it comes

to redecorating and this could be because all of the decorating emphasis is usually spent on those areas that are seen by other people like visitors and guests. The decorating budget goes to areas with more visibility and the bedroom isn't usually open to the public. So bedroom updates are few and far between.

But when you look at how much time you spend in a bedroom, well it's a lot of time. Even if you are sleeping there are times when you're awake and just go to the room to relax. This can be your sanctuary to get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Most people will have an outdated look in their bedroom, and absolutely no focal point. But you can change this around.

How do you change that reality? Like everything else in the decorating world, what you do depends on your budget. If the budget is large and flexible, you throw everything in the room out and start from the bare walls. You create the room exactly as you want it to look. Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford that approach.

You can however create a new look to your bedroom and not spend a bunch of money. But first you need to decide what style or look you want in that room. Most likely you will want to change the colors around. Painting doesn't have to cost a lot and you can save money by only painting one wall of the room. Not only will that save you money but with only one wall done it will still change the look of the bedroom overall.

If you will be keeping the bed, consider covering the headboard with fabric. Polyester batting is cheap and you might have some leftover material that you could use for the covering fabric. A covered headboard can give style and emphasis to an unexciting, mundane bed.

The bedroom can be brightened considerably with the addition of plants and flowers. You might move a plant from another room or start a new plant from a cutting. Yard flowers can be used to give color and aroma to the room.

A great and inexpensive way to add color and life to the bedroom is by getting some area rugs. They have so many different colors, designs and shapes that you shouldn't have a problem finding a nice addition to the new look.

Rearranging the furniture is free but can pay dividends in a new look. Most rooms have more than one wall suitable for the bed placement. With furniture unmoved for several years, you can lose sight of the potential of the room. With just a few shifts in the furniture placement, you can give the room a whole new perspective.

Changing not only the color of the bed sheets, but also the pattern will also be a great way to change the decor. You won't need to spend a bunch of money and you can also get a throw pillow to add to the bed in different colors to add to the decor of the room.

If space is an issue and clutter is a continuing problem, consider investing in an under-the-bed storage unit. Some of these utilize casters to make the units easy to use. The units can be used to store off-season clothing or extra linens and bed coverings.

Do you have a wall that has nothing on it, maybe this should be the spot where you paint the wall, or add a nice rod to the wall and put up a pretty drape.

Though the bedroom is usually ignored when it comes to redecorating you should really try and change it around. Yes it won't be seen by others but to make a nice sanctuary for yourself you can spend a little money.
