1. Do Some Cleaning
Clean the area and put off the floor as many things as you can, it will help you visualize the space, so you can
have a more realistic perspective of the size you’re dealing with.
This first step won’t cost you anything, just some time and energy, in fact, you don’t have to do that much when
cleaning your bedroom, just try to organize and put everything in its place, remember the goal is to be able to
see how much space do you have to work with.
2. Take a Picture
A picture will show you the space as it is, you will be able to identify what you like or don’t
Think about it for a minute, what do you see on Pinterest? Isn’t it a bunch of cute bedroom makeover ‘Pictures’? So….
If you want your bedroom near those results, grab you phone and stand in your bedroom door and take some pictures.
After that, take the time to analyze those pictures, what is bothering you about that room, what would you change?
What do you think may work with the decoration you have in mind?
You will have a way better idea of what big changes you should do after those pictures analysis.
3. Apply the 6-Month Rule
Plain and simple: If you haven’t used something in 6 months you can live without it (of course outside of
seasonal clothing).
Don’t let that sentimentalism get over your space. It’s super ok to have meaningful items and even better if they
are for display, but if you get through all your stuff, like an honest inspection of everything you have on your
bedroom, you’ll realize there are tons of things you could get rid of.
For the meaningful items there are cute boxes to storage them and make them part of decoration.
So go ahead, get through all your stuff and see how you can make more space getting rid of things that are not
been useful anymore.
4. Fresch Coat of Paint
You might have heard it before, but there’s nothing like a bedroom makeover without painting. And it doesn’t
even have to be a different color, you can use the one you already have on your walls, but painting the space will
make it look cleaner and even bigger.
Here’ a “How to paint a room beginner’s guide” that will help you get the work done.
Use paint to do an accent wall, is way cheaper than using a wallpaper and you’ll have the same great result.
Choose a color in the same color palette as the basic color you’re using if it’s not white in which case you can
play with whichever color you like for your accent wall.
Doing an accent wall will give you a hint on which color or patterns to use on a wallpaper in the future when
you’ve got a bigger budget for a bedroom makeover
5. Add Some Light
Add some light to the space, lights can change the whole mood of a room.
You can use hanging lights or floor lights like standing lamps. The point is to do something to change a bit the
lighting of the space even if it’s just one of these new diffusers that have a light inside or even a candle!
Actually candles are a great choice, they make the space look cozy, romantic and they’re cheap!
6. Use a Plant
Plants are an important decorative item lately, they give your bedroom a fresh and warmer look therefore you should consider adding one to your bedroom.
If you’re not much into plants, however you could opt for a permanent or a low maintenance plant.
Here you’ll find plenty of Indoor plants options to choose.
7. Add more Pillows
Adding a couple more pillows to your bed will definitely upgrade your bedroom style. No matter the type, could be normal or decorative pillows, be creative!
