With the popularity of home makeover shows sweeping our TV stations, viewers often find themselves judging their own home interiors which are badly in need of a good freshening up. The odds are not strong that a crew of professional decorators will arrive on our doorsteps to transform our homes and home decor, but who has the money to finance the renovations we would all love to have?
The bedroom is a top-rated area of the home; but it's often the room with which people are most dissatisfied. Seldom seen by guests, we spend 1/3 of our lives in our bedrooms, yet it is usually one of the last items on the decorating to-do list. It is time to reclaim our private space and make it the tranquil refuge we deserve. This does not mean breaking the bank to remake the space; as with a little planning and an eye for detail, the bedroom can become the haven of beauty and rest that it was meant to be.
The focal point of any bedroom is the bed itself, and selecting a new bed set and duvet cover is a cost-effective way to change the look of the entire room. Choosing a new bed set is more than simply selecting a color or style you like. When shopping for bedding, remember the importance of texture, because the beauty of any bed set will be lost if you toss and turn at night because your bed sheets or duvet cover are of inferior quality or are too fussy and frilly. Forsaking comfort for style might be acceptable when it comes to high heels, but never for bedding!
Once you find the perfect bed set that combines appealing style with supreme comfort, use the motif to accent your bedroom, tying in elements of the design to give the room a polished look. Match bedside lamps to the style of your bedding to maintain the look you are after by adding simple elements to the lampshades like appliqus or matching trim. Coordinate artwork in the bedroom with your bed set by framing posters or inexpensive art prints that complement the motif. Pages from old art books at tag sales are an affordable designer secret that can add to the room's ambiance for next to nothing!
If a fresh coat of paint is in the design budget, so be sure to select a color that is neutral enough to allow you to change things up when you get bored. If painting is just not an option, discover the world of press-on decals: a low-cost design idea with major impact. Easy to apply and endlessly versatile, press-on decals allow you to fake the look of a custom mural for a fraction of the cost. Add charm with a sweet sentiment scrolling along above your bed, or add cheery flower silhouettes for a timeless look.
When you want a new look for your bedroom but lack the funds for a complete makeover, start with your bedding and make it all you've dreamed. Once you've got a great look for the bed, the rest of the room falls into place with easy and affordable details that cost little and complete the room for a professionally-decorated look on a do-it-yourself budget!
