5 Ways to Transform a Boring Bedroom

5-ways-to-transform-a-boring-bedroom

Have you been worried about your boring bedroom?

You should always love the decor in your bedroom. It’s the place you spend at least a third of your life, and it’s sure to take a toll on you if you don’t actually like it. 

Maybe you know you want to update your bedroom but aren’t sure of where to start. After all, home improvement can seem like a daunting task, so you may not know the easiest way to breathe some life into your bedroom.

Have a look through these tips. One might resonate with you and be the transformation you need!

1. Pick a Theme

When transforming your bedroom, you could always pick a theme. If your bedroom looks boring, think about something you love.

It can be as simple as a color scheme, or as elaborate as a franchise.

Visionbedding has some great ideas for a country theme if you want to bring a touch of the South to your room!

2. Paint!

Do you think you have a boring bedroom wall? Time to give it a splash of paint!

Sometimes updating your room is as simple as choosing a new color for the walls. It’ll make the whole room feel completely different, even though only one thing has been updated. 

3. Choose Some Great Art

A boring bedroom makeover isn’t complete without some great art.

You don’t have to paint the whole wall; maybe you just need to hang some art up! Think about some styles or images you love, whether it’s nature, wildlife, cityscapes… and find some great art to put up.

It’ll breathe some much-needed life into the room and remind you of all the things you love, hopefully improving your love for the room too!

4. Get New Lighting

If your bedroom looks boring, sometimes new lighting will make a world of difference.

Pick a new lamp for the bedside table, or decorate your bed with some romantic string lights. Some mood lighting can make it feel like an entirely new room, even though you’ve only updated one thing.

Try to make sure the lights are warm and inviting, as cool lights will only make your sleep quality worse when you lie down and try to fall over. 

5. A New Headboard

You don’t need an entirely new bed, but a headboard can make it look like you got one.

Headboards come in a variety of shapes and styles, transforming the look of the place you sleep. If it’s your bed that’s really bothering you but you don’t want to buy a new one, this might be the solution you’ve been searching for. 

Your Boring Bedroom Can Be Easily Transformed!

A boring bedroom isn’t good for anyone. Even though you only sleep there, you want to lie down in a room that’s both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

If you’ve been looking for ways to makeover your room, try one of these. You’ll be surprised at the difference it makes.

A guide to restyling a bedroom when an elderly parent moves in

a-guide-to-restyling-a-bedroom-when-an-elderly-parent-moves-in

Family is important to us all. Sometimes them moving into our current home is the easiest way to ensure that they are properly looked after. This doesn’t come without its stresses and it can be a transition for all concerned. Ensuring that their new bedroom is a comfortable and relaxing place for them can however ease some of the pressure on both sides. This guide will give some tips as to how to make things go as smoothly as possible.

Make it feel like home

Living in new surroundings can be quite daunting at first, even if they are used to visiting regularly. Try, where possible, to make sure that there is adequate space in their room with good storage. Make sure there is space for precious items like family pictures and sentimental pieces that they like to be close at hand. Having some familiar items will make them feel more at home.

Agree what’s staying and what’s going

They may want to bring some existing furniture with them so perhaps you could discuss in advance which items are staying and which aren’t. It may be prudent to have an additional television in their room so you can both have your own space when needed. You may want to consider whether this should be wall mounted or if there is sufficient space and units to have it free-standing. It’s a good idea to have any necessary works carried out before they move in.

Comfort is key

Comfort is very important so you may want to look at buying a new bed for them. This should ensure good rest and a peaceful night’s sleep. If you are at all unsure about what type of bed to get for them why not consider an ergonomic bed. You will be able to get lots of advice on which model is best suited to their needs from an expert retailer.

Discuss a new look

Some new décor will make the room feel like their own. There are lots of home magazines available in stores and online. These will give you some good decoration ideas for the size of the room and for the style they may want. Pick up some paint palette charts and wallpaper samples from local DIY stores. You can have them choose some color schemes that they might like. A fresh coat of paint and some new curtains and bedding will make all the difference. Couple with some matching accessories and their new bedroom will be transformed.  

Enjoy it!

Having a parent move in provides a wonderful opportunity for the kids to spend additional time with their grandparents. It’s also an opportunity for you to have a little break. There are loads of activities they can do together both indoors and out. A trip to the park, looking through old photo albums or even watching a movie together. Regardless, it’s time that both they and the kids will treasure.

Budget Friendly Bedroom Updates

budget-friendly-bedroom-updates

 

So often we hear of people who are getting bored of their surroundings. Many can’t afford to completely gut and start from fresh with their existing style and are looking for fun, inexpensive updates to spice up their bedroom décor.

 

Here are a few budget friendly, simple fixes for those who need a little change!

 

  1. Change out your existing drapery.

There is so much great pattern and colour out there that this is an easy and effective change. Ready to hang blinds and drapes are in tons of big box stores and come in great fabrics, colours, patterns and at an incredibly affordable price!

 

 

 

  1. Purchase new lamps or lamp shades!

 

This is a great and inexpensive swap as well. Of course, there are some lamps that are crazy expensive, but there are also a lot of really affordable options. So many great stores offer colourful lamp bases, colourful shades and shades with patterns. These touches will make a difference, even though they may seem minimal. A new lamp or lamp shade will freshen up the space.

 

 

  1. New throw pillows and throw blankets.

Add pattern! Change your existing colour scheme! Do both! There are zillions of options for great throw pillows, and will be a welcome addition to your existing décor. Remember, we are freshening the space, and this is probably the most inexpensive way to do so. And don’t be afraid to mix colours and patterns! The easiest way to do this is to have one common element through your selections. Maybe they all have the same pattern but come in different colours, or have the same colour but come in different patterns. The combinations are endless!

 

 

 

  1. Paint an accent wall!

 

Of course, a new paint job is also a fabulous option, but depending on the size of your room, this has potential to soar into the hundreds. Painting one wall can add new life to the room and is not overly expensive. This can most likely be done with one can of paint and will make a huge difference. You can chose to go bold and make a drastic change, maybe paint some stripes into a pattern on your wall, or maybe chose a shade that is a tad darker than your existing colour. Either way, change is change! It will be different than what you’re currently bored of and that’s what we’re trying to achieve, right?

 

 

  1. New comforter or duvet cover.

 

This is an easy change. It will run you less than a hundred dollars if that’s what you are aiming for, and the bed is typically the main focal point in the room. It will be hard not to notice (and LOVE!) brand new bedding!

 It doesn’t take much to get a fresh new look (and feel) in your bedroom!
