Let’s face it, bedrooms are our sanctuaries, the places to feel supported, safe and snuggly. But if you're gearing up to give yours a glow-up, the thought can feel a little overwhelming (and, let's be honest, expensive too). The good news? You don’t need a big budget to create a space that feels fresh, cosy, and totally you.
Here are a few creative, low-cost, budget-friendly ideas for decorating your bedroom without compromising on style.
Work with what you’ve got.
Before you go shopping for your home makeover, take a fresh look at your space. Could you rearrange the furniture for better flow? Borrow pieces from other rooms or even just declutter? Sometimes a little reshuffle and tidy up can give the room a whole new lease of life, and it’s totally free too.
Pops of paint.
Paint is one of the cheapest and most impactful ways to refresh a room or an entire home. Try a bold feature wall or highlight woodwork, window recesses and/or doors for a unique twist that really packs a punch. For maximum impact with this, consider a paint pouch from our dopamine decor-boosting Electric Collection or Joyful Collection to create your own show-stopping painting masterpiece.
Get crafty.
Thrift stores will be your best friend for affordable accessories with character, and a perfect way to make your bedroom truly unique and full of personality. Get hunting for lovable treasures you can incorporate in your home right away or finds you can upcycle using just a little bit of imagination. Create artwork from old picture frames using magazine clippings and paint sample pots, press some flowers in a frame, or turn leftover fabric into pillow covers. You’ll save money, enjoy being creative and keep those items out of landfill — a triple win.
Nod to nature.
Plants instantly make a space feel fresh and alive. If you’ve got green fingers, grab some inexpensive pots and propagate your own plants. If not, local markets and bargain stores often sell greenery for less. Alternatively, swap with your mates — sharing is caring after all. Faux plants can also add a touch of the great outdoors without the demanding upkeep (no judgment here!).
Decorating on a budget, whether it's your bedroom, living room or any other space in your home, is all about thinking outside the box, being bold and leaning into your own personal style. Even a few (or how about all) of those thoughtful changes can turn your bedroom into the comforting and curated space you deserve — without breaking the bank... so get those moodboard plans into action mode and decorate your home like you've always wanted.
