Easy, Budget Friendly Ways To Refresh Your Bedroom

Let’s be honest, our bedrooms often get the short end of the stick when it comes to home decor. We might think that since it’s just us using it, it doesn’t need the same attention as other areas of our home.  But in reality, our primary bedroom should be a sanctuary, a place of comfort, luxury, and familiarity. It’s where we start and end our days, and being in a beautiful space that reflects our personality is the best way to set a positive tone for the day.

If you need a bedroom refresh, I have some easy and relatively affordable ideas to help refresh your bedroom.

Lighten things up

Lighting is a game-changer in bedroom decor. Often overlooked, it has the power to completely transform the ambiance of your space. While considering what type of lighting is best for your bedroom, think about both design and function.

I love these sleek bedside lamps that not only serve a functional purpose but also add a stylish touch to your bedroom. They’ll allow you to read the latest must read horror book before bedtime and inject some character into your space.

Dramatic drapery make the bedroom look luxurious

In most bedrooms, the windows take up quite a bit of wall space.  Installing dark, dramatic drapes can completely transform your bedroom and give your room the polish it deserves.  Something as simple as plain black drapes will instantly become the focal point of your bedroom, add color, and block out light. 

The types of drapery you can add to your bedroom are endless. You’ll find florals, geometric designs, mural-esque drapes, and, of course, solid-colored window coverings that will make your bedroom look brand new.

Add texture to your bedroom

It’s easy for bedrooms to feel one-dimensional.  If your space is in need of texture, the easiest way to do so is by adding a rug. When choosing a rug, consider the color scheme and your personality.  With so many varieties of rugs available, finding one that matches your color scheme and personality should be no problem.

I love this black boho rug from Amazon because it is simple but interesting. It is easy to design around and won’t demand too much attention, allowing you to include other bold accessories throughout your room. When incorporating bold accessories, it’s important to balance them with neutral colors to create a cohesive look.

Dress up your walls

Updating your wall art is a simple yet effective way to breathe new life into your bedroom. Art doesn’t have to be expensive to make a statement. There are numerous online retailers offering affordable yet stylish options. If you’re like me, you might prefer bold but not too colorful pieces, allowing you to incorporate color in other areas of your room.

Switching up the bedroom accessories with affordable options is a fun and easy way to refresh your bedroom decor. New bedside lamps, artwork, curtains, and a rug are my go to items when I need to refresh a space, but throw pillows and blankets go a long way too. These items don’t have to last forever and will add a ton of character to your primary bedroom.
