DECORATING TIPS FOR YOUR DREAM BEDROOM

Budget-Friendly Decorating Tips for your Bedroom

A LITTLE MONEY AND A LITTLE THOUGHT CAN GIVE YOU THE BEDROOM YOU WANT.

 

You can easily add some style to your bedroom without breaking the bank. Simply spruce up furniture with some wear and tear or add some inexpensive accent pieces for a whole new look and feel. 10 tips will do the trick for decorating your bedroom:
1. Hang framed art prints on your walls with,” Imagery of love” to create a beautiful bedroom sanctuary.
 Pictures of hearts, couples dancing or embracing are all choices that may help create the passionate energy every bedroom needs.  These usually come in an array of colors that will suite your wall colors.
2. If your bedroom furniture has seen better days, a coat of new paint or stain will spice it up. Paint your dressers, bed frames and nightstands a new color to bring them back to life.  A good coat of primer and the use of the new Paint and Primer products on the market will make this much easier.
3. Replace all the knobs on your dresser with something different to suit your style.  Though this can be fun, you will need to be very selective on the hardware that you choose.  Some of it is very expensive.  And if you will be using the new hardware for several years then get what you want.  Otherwise, watch the cost.  It can add up.
4. Bed frames can cost a pretty penny, so make your own with an easy home project. Simply cover a large piece of plywood with fabric of your choice for a sensational backdrop to be placed behind your bed.  Garage sales, Yard sales usually have bed frames that you can get really cheap.  The same is true about headboards and footboards.
5. Another alternative to purchasing a headboard is hanging a decorative curtain rod above your bed. Hang a beautiful blanket or a large piece of fabric on the curtain rod to create a unique wall piece.  A large piece of art will also serve the purpose.
6. Decorate in blues and greens to create a calm, peaceful bedroom that promotes sleep. Add a pop of red for more passion. Red pillow shams, decorative vases or framed artworks can add the right amount of this high-energy color.  Of course you will want to choose up to date colors.  All colors change in popularity.  Check the latest magazines for what is new and exciting.
7. The wall facing your bed is the focal wall .  Make it  "  Very pleasing and nice to think about.  This can be art or furniture.  If you use furniture make sure you do not clutter it up with stuff. That is not pleasant to look at.
8. There should be two of each of the accent pieces in your room to balance out your bedroom. Two lamps and two nightstands should do the trick. Search for nightstands on yard sales and cover them with pretty tableskirts to cover any flaws.  These do not have to match.  Part of the relaxing feeling comes from mismatched pieces.  Be sure and Make them functional as well. If you like to read then have a table and lamp that will serve your needs.  A single chair is also nice.
9. Add ribbon, lace or tassels to the pillowcases, pillow shams or comforters to jazz them up. This simple tip will create an air of elegance in your bedroom.  Jersey sheets are also a good choice in the winter, “always soft and warm”.
10. Create a focal point in your bedroom by decorating around it. Whether it's a picture you love, a gorgeous view or a fireplace, every room needs a focal point.  Many people will use a TV for the focal point. And while the prevailing advice is to leave the TV out of the bedroom, reality is “the TV is here to stay”.  So pick a nice one and be sure and have a DVD player so you can watch old movies instead of regular TV programs.  Having it on low volume can be just the trick to falling to sleep.
These are just a few tips.  I am sure you can add to them and make your bedroom your own.
As always “Happy Painting”
