5 Tips to Instantly Refresh Your Bedroom On A Budget
By Ashley Lipman [Aug 22, 2022]
Your bedroom is one of the most important rooms in the house. You spend a ton of time there relaxing, sleeping, getting ready and doing a variety of other things. Unfortunately, a lot of bedrooms are a little forgotten about when it comes to design, at least when compared to living rooms and kitchens.
However, this doesn’t need to be the case, there are several great ways you can give your bedroom a boost and give the space a new life. Without any further ado, let’s go over some tips to instantly refresh your bedroom.
Get Your Bed in Order
At the center of nearly every bedroom is the bed itself. You will spend around 8 hours in it every single night, so it is quite important. You want the bed to be supportive enough to keep you healthy, but also soft and comfortable enough, too.
The most crucial part of your bed is the mattress. You need to take time to choose the right one for your needs. It should be the right size, the right type, the right level of firmness, and be within your price range. Whether you are looking for a mattress for adjustable beds or an affordable mattress for your wooden foundation, be sure to put a lot of thought into your decision.
In addition to the mattress, other parts of your bed are important to think about. This includes the duvet, the sheets, the pillows and even the foundation. You want something that noy only looks good, but also remains functional for your needs.
Beyond selecting the right mattress and bedding, the overall comfort of your bedroom hinges significantly on the bed itself. Opting for comfortable beds that match your specific needs can make a substantial difference in your sleep quality and bedroom aesthetics. Comfort goes beyond the mattress – it encompasses the entire bed frame, design, and how it complements your bedroom's layout.
Whether you're drawn to traditional wooden frames or modern, minimalist designs, ensuring your bed promotes a restful night's sleep while adding to the room's visual appeal is key. Remember, a bed is an investment in your health and well-being, so choose one that aligns with your comfort preferences and style.
Add Some Art
There are many benefits of adding art in the home, from helping improve your mood, to adding a bit of color to including some texture in the space. While most people will hang a lot of art in their living room, your bedroom is also a great place for some art.
This could be wall art to add an extra bit of excitement to the room, or even a small sculpture on a shelf to show off your personal tastes. The great thing about art is that it can easily be switched out when it becomes a little stale or when you decide to change up the overall theme of the room.
The art can be big or small, but either way, it can have a major impact on how a space looks and feels. Similar to art, plants in the bedroom are another great design choice that can freshen up the room.
Find the Perfect Lighting
Lighting is important in every room of the house. It can change the look of a room, as well as how comfortable and inviting it is. Light is especially important in the bedroom. If you have the same harsh lights in your bedroom that you have everywhere else, it isn’t always a good idea. These bright lights can make it hard to get comfortable, and can be quite intense for mornings, as well.
While adding a lamp to use at night is an okay idea, a better one could be to switch the LEDS in the fixture in your room. Many of these are softer in general, and many can be dimmed and can even change colors. Some can even be controlled by an app, making it easy to turn the lights off and on, as well as adjust them to your current mood or preferences.
Change Up the Colors
If your room needs a change, one of the best ways to do this is by changing up the color of the space. If we keep our bedrooms the same color for years and years, it can certainly get a little bit old and boring. By switching out some art, your bedding, or even painting the walls, you can introduce some much-needed new colors into the space.
As for what color you choose, that is completely up to you and what you want out of the space. Some colors can make a room look larger, while others can make it look smaller. Some colors can also change how you feel in a room and the sort of vibe it gives off.
Reduce the Clutter
Clutter in the bedroom can make a space feel incredibly cramped and a little overwhelming. Your room should be a relaxing place, and if you have clothing, paper, workout equipment and other things lining the floors, it can ruin this sense of peace. A simple clean-up and reduction of the clutter can work wonders for refreshing your bedroom.
If you don’t have the storage space to reduce the clutter, consider finding unique ways to add storage in the room. This could be using storage furniture, using the walls and any number of other things. Of course, you could also go through your items and sell and/or donate some of what you don’t need or use anymore.
In conclusion, we hope that this article has been able to help you identify some great ways to give your bedroom a facelift and refresh the space. You can find more renovation tips in this article from Hardie Boys.
