Your bedroom is often really low on the priority list when it comes to redecorating, am I right? We tend to focus our energy on other aspects like the kitchen or living room. The places where guests may visit or that you spend a good bulk of your waking hours. But your bedroom also deserves some love. After all, you probably spend the longest amount of time in it and your rest is extremely important. So if you feel your bedroom is outdated then this spruce up guide will help you out.
Clutter is not your friend
Our bedrooms can be piled with clutter. Be it clean washing that needs putting away. Stacks of books and unread magazines. Even makeup and skin products can be left out and about without thinking. If you are serious about updating your bedroom, the clutter has to go. You won’t believe the difference a minimal space will make to the aesthetics of the room. While you are at it, you could consider delving into draws and wardrobes and getting rid of older items. Once you start you won’t be able to stop. Once the clutter has been organized it might be worth considering some alternative storage solutions. This will make it much easier to keep your room the way it is.
A lick of paint can be a sure fire way to make a big difference
The first sign of an outdated bedroom could be the colour of the walls or old wallpaper. This is the place you can make the biggest difference. Stripping the wallpaper or adding a new color to the walls can brighten up the room and make it feel different and new. Some colors can have an effect on how you sleep or feel in a room, so make sure you do some research.
Only spend money on key pieces
There will no doubt be certain things that need replacing in your bedroom. This could be the flooring or carpet. Or maybe even some of the key pieces of furniture like a bed. Again changing the flooring can make a massive difference to the room. You could opt for something a little more modern like a wooden flooring. Or if you like the feel of carpet perhaps changing it for a more neutral tone could be the way to go. Don’t go overboard when it comes to replacing all your furniture. This can end up making your bedroom makeover quite expensive. But a little research online into things like high quality wooden bedroom furniture which tends to be a style that never dates, could give you some longevity and make any investment in this area worth your while. Plus a bed and mattress at least should be replaced every five years. Can you think back to the last time you bought yourself a bed?
Think about your bedroom and style accordingly
If you want your bedroom to be a place to relax, then add some lovely cushions or throws to your room. If you like to read then maybe think about creating a reading nook to do just that. Your bedroom should be a place of sanctuary and relaxation, so style it up to the way you want it to be.
I hope that these tips help you update your bedroom.
