Your bedroom is the place that you go to relax and unwind after a long day, so it’s important that it’s a space that you enjoy being in. If you feel that your bedroom is looking a bit old and tired, then try these cheap and simple ideas to give it a brand new lease on life.
Invest in new bed linen
Your bed is the focal point of your bedroom, and if your linen is looking old, tired and faded then this is the feeling that will permeate the rest of the room, too.
Investing in a new set of bed linen will not only give your room a lift, but it will help you to get a better night's sleep! Treat yourself to a set of bed linen in your favorite color, or maybe even splash out and get a set with a bold print.
When choosing your bed linen bear in mind that a lot of linens are marketed based on thread count, but in fact that doesn’t mean much. If possible, go into a store selling bedding and feel the different options to see which ones you like the best. After all, you’re the one who will be sleeping on them!
Repair damaged carpets
If your carpet is looking tired and worn, it’s possible to bring it back to life. First, address any rips or tears. For example, the carpet fitting surgeon offers Carpet Repairs Tamworth and the surrounding areas; they will work with you to get your carpet looking brand new again! No need to keep covering tears with a rug or a big plant pot…
You can also improve the look of your carpet by giving it a good clean. Try shampooing your carpet or even giving it a steam clean to bring some of the boldness back to the color, and give your bedroom a fresh, clean feeling.
New window treatments
Window treatments aren’t generally designed to draw the eye, but they do take up a lot of space in your room and so if they’re looking tired it will affect the overall aesthetic of the room. Replace your window treatments with an option that allows in as much light as possible, to make your room feel bright and air.
If you can’t stretch to replacing your window treatments, you can add some decorative touches to them like pullbacks or tassels that will add a new splash of life to your room.
Mix up your light sources
The way that you light a room can make a huge difference to how it looks overall. Rather than using one overhead light, instead try mixing up your light sources.
Experiment with standing lamps and wall lighting, and mix up your bulbs so that you have some sources of light that are more yellow and some more white. This will add texture to your room, and mean that you can create the mood that you are looking for more easily.
