The bedroom is probably the most important room in the house. It’s where we spend most of our time, so it has to be a place we actually like to be.

If you feel like your bedroom is getting stale, it can be difficult to know where to start, particularly if you’ve got limited funds. If you’re set on breathing new life into your bedroom, you’ll find it’s surprisingly easy, and you certainly don’t have to decimate your bank account to do it.

From functional accessories to stylish additions, our cheap bedroom makeover ideas can help you totally revitalise your bedroom’s style without compromising your budget:

Bedding

Switching up your bedding is an easy way of updating your boudoir’s look on the cheap. It’s particularly effective if you coordinate colours. By matching items which are all from the same colour family, you can create a unified look for your bedroom in a relatively inexpensive way.

Matching pillowcases and throw cushions are a fantastic means of achieving this. They’re affordable, adding flair, texture, and comfort to any room. A new duvet cover is another simple and inexpensive way in which you can bring a whole new colour palette to your tired bedroom.

From classic florals to coloured prints, introducing a new shade or design can really help add much-needed pop. Don’t be put off by the boldest of colours – even black, when used in small quantities, can really help to accentuate the other colours in your room.

Artwork

You might be forgiven for thinking that wall art is an expensive addition to a home. You couldn’t be more wrong. A canvas print is extremely affordable, and a great means of personalising your bedroom. Whether you want to decorate using a single print or a collage with multiple images, a canvas print is a fantastic way of making your bedroom design really pop!

For something with a little more texture, why not get in touch with your hippy spirit and hang a tapestry. Not only are they affordable, they’re super easy to install, making an immediate impact on your room. A bold design which matches your bedroom’s pre-existing colour palette can add an enormous amount to the room’s aesthetic, creating a style much more chic than bohemian without costing the earth.

Plants

Using natural elements for decoration is a great way of introducing both colour and vibrancy to your bedroom. Plants are an excellent choice. They’re easy and affordable to maintain, plus they have added health benefits, with many houseplants operating as natural air purifiers.

Snake plants (more amusingly known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue), English Ivy and Rubber Plants are all low-maintenance options that can really help to create a tranquil, calming atmosphere in your room.

Place them on your shelves or bedside table for maximum visibility. If you can find a plant who’s colouring complements your bedroom, even better! Remember, introducing colours from the same palette is a great way of tying a room together.

Reflective Surfaces

Reflective surfaces can help to make your room look larger and more spacious, while they are also great for bolstering a room’s natural light. Many people just focus on mirrors, but there are actually many more types of reflective surfaces that you can use in your bedroom, all of which are relatively inexpensive.

From mirrored trays and crystal photo frames to glass-topped coffee tables (slightly more expensive, but still not breaking the bank), you can fill your room up with light, transforming it into a living space which is bright and airy, and making an immediate improvement to your room’s look and feel.

Lighting

Last but not least, lighting is an affordable way to keep your bedroom looking elegant and fresh. Fairy lights can add charm to any space, while a new nightstand lamp can introduce a more subdued type of lighting your room. A tall lamp can accentuate your bedroom’s height, while recessed eyeball lights or spotlights can help to draw attention to a particular area of the room. Whatever look you’re going for, there’s sure to be new and exciting lighting solutions available within your budget.

With a few easy (and affordable) bedroom décor ideas, you can transform your bedroom’s look, creating a warm, calming atmosphere that makes it your own personal haven away from the bustle of daily life.
