Have you made very few changes to your bedroom décor and layout over the years? Is the bedroom feeling tired and lacking in style and design at this point but you don’t know where to begin with a makeover? A bedroom makeover project can be a bit overwhelming and before you know it the project can spiral out of control. This is why a design plan is so important in a bedroom makeover. Here are five steps you’ll want to add to yours.
Splurge on New Furniture
Take a look at your bedroom furniture and ask yourself if it still works with your design style and needs. Homeowners tend to hold on to bedroom furniture for many years, even if it’s not exactly what they like anymore. If that sounds like you, then it’s time to embrace out with the old and in with the new mentality. If the furniture is still in good condition, you may be able to sell it and use those funds towards purchasing new furniture.
Play with the Furniture Layout
Whether you plan on buying new furniture or using the existing pieces you can also play around with the furniture layout. Just because everything has been in the same place since you can remember doesn’t mean that is the best layout. Try to reimagine the space and get creative with where things are placed.
Change the Colour Palette
Rather than slapping the same colour on the walls as a fresh coat, why not opt for transformative change in the form of a new colour palette? And when it comes to bedroom colours there is no right or wrong.
Because a bedroom is separate from the rest of the house (a closed-off room), you don’t even have to worry about flow. Just pick a colour palette that speaks to you and that creates the kind of feeling you want to convey in your bedroom. Popular choices are colours that feel soothing, warm, relaxing, spa-like, or romantic.
Install Stylish New Flooring
Here’s a step that far too many homeowners overlook and yet it can have a massive impact on the overall look. Installing stylish new flooring instantly freshens up the space, it can make it appear larger, more modern, and brighter. There are several popular flooring options to choose from, so you’ll want to take your time to look at the pros and cons of each.
Some of the best options include vinyl floor, thanks to its affordable price tag and easy installation process, carpeting to give the room a comfortable vibe, and hardwood, such as Quick-step hardwood flooring, which is elegant and durable.
Allow for Natural Light
Natural light will also have a huge impact on the bedroom, so be sure you’re allowing as much into the room as possible. You will still need window coverings, but they don’t need to block the light out at all times.
A Bedroom that Feels Brand New
All of these tips make it possible to transform your bedroom and get you excited to spend time in the space once again.
