6 Bedroom Renovation Tips on a Budget

Bedroom renovation does not necessarily mean having to splurge your cash too. You don’t have to take down walls, change all your furniture and even repaint. The following tips will help you revamp your private space without digging a hole in your pocket.

1.     Clear the clutter

Sometimes, the only reason why you or your guests cannot appreciate your room is because there are just too many clothes laying around. Other times, it could be cluttered with things that you don’t really need. So the first step to bedroom renovation on a budget would be to clear the clutter.

Sort things out and put those that you still need on one side and separate the things that you no longer need. You can either sell the things you no longer need or give them away.


2.     Get new bedding set.

If you already have one, you can actually beautify your bedding set with a duvet cover. A duvet cover can help create a new look to your room. With the many options that you have, you can go anywhere from girly to graphic, from classic to modern and from pastel to primary. Sky’s the limit when it comes to the style or design. You can even match your bedding to the season. For instance, there’s the Lake House Floral by Ralph Lauren Home that best goes with spring.

Best of all, duvet covers can be washed and folded for easy and hygienic storage.

3.     Add decorative pillows.

Because your bed is the star of your room, why not add a notch of creativity by adorning it with decorative pillows too? Decorative pillows come in all shapes, sizes and colors too. They can be used to add color to your pastel or white walls and bedroom furniture.

If there are too many colors in your room, you can use light colored decorative pillows to break them and harmonize your elements. But aside from adding style to your room, these pillows also provide comfort to you.

4.     Shake things up!

Maybe the way your furniture pieces are arranged hinders you from maximizing your room’s space. So feel free to shake things up. While you’re already moving things around, don’t forget to flip your mattress to prevent uneven wear.

5.     Dress up the dresser

Painting or decorating the dresser is a quick and easy way of incorporating new design elements. If painting takes too much of your time, you can use washi tapes to make your dresser look newer. If you change your bedding too often, make sure that you use colors or washi tape designs that can be universally accepted to avoid a “messy-looking room” aesthetic-wise.

6.     Change your curtains.

Experiment with your window treatments in order to create the effect that you are aiming for. You can use lace curtains to add a classy and more feminine look to your room. If your room gets too much sunlight during the day, you can use heavy and dark-colored drapes to filter the light. Again, just make sure that whatever you choose, there should be a harmony in design at all times.
