For parents, it can be hard to invest in their bedroom when there are many more things to pay for that can take preference over bedroom décor. 

However, you can get your bedroom up to date with some easy steps that won’t cost the earth. 

Here are some tips on updating your bedroom on a budget. 

Paint or wallpaper 

A bit of paint doesn’t have to cost the earth, but some people are opting for a good statement wallpaper either to bring their bedroom up to date. Consider what it is, that you love and choose colours that you find relaxing and comfortable. A simple lick of paint is ideal for those on a tight budget and the bedroom will instantly look fresher and brighter. Clean around the skirting boards too! 

Declutter and tidy up

One of the easiest ways to give your bedroom a new beginning is by decluttering and getting rid of old stuff that isn’t needed. Have you enough storage in your bedroom? If you don’t, get some storage solutions so everything can be tidied away.

The last thing anyone wants is clothes everywhere or shoes on the floor making the bedroom busy. Take the bull by the horns and be brave by throwing out things you don’t need. You’ll feel better for it; promise!

If you have had your bedroom a certain way for a long time why not be a little imaginative and move things around?

Invest in new bedding

One of the simplest ways to update your bedroom is by investing in some new bed linen and though there are plenty of expensive sets you don’t have to go crazy. Make sure you buy two sets you like and alternate between them as well as ensuring you have cosy throws; cushion covers and extra pillows to create a luxurious bed that looks like something out of a hotel catalogue. That way, you’ll love to cosy in after a long day. 

Rearrange your bedroom 

If you have had your bedroom a certain way for a long time why not be a little imaginative and move things around? Sometimes the general repositioning of furniture is enough to create a new love for your bedroom. Don’t forget to move mirrors or pieces of art or pictures too. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll only have to move it back, no big deal!

Add new accessories

Give any room a quick facelift by implementing new pieces of artwork or candles and pictures. The addition of flowers, plants or ornaments can liven up your space and create a whole new concept of your bedroom. Don’t forget lighting solutions and throw out old lamps or lights to invest in a few new lamps and lights. You can pick up these in shops and they don’t have to be overly expensive. 

Look at your floor

While changing your floor can be expensive, do you know what isn’t expensive? Rugs, of course. Luckily, there are many types to choose from and they add a bit of character to your bedroom while adding warmth to space too.
