Budget Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Some of the best bedroom decorating ideas do not cost an arm and a leg. Before planning your makeover the first thing you should do is give the room a total cleaning from top to bottom. Remove all clutter. If an item doesn't belong in a bedroom then relocate it to it's proper place. Remove computers and electronics as it is proven to interfere with peaceful sleep to have those types of items in your bedroom. Your bedroom should be about relaxation and sleep.

Take a look at every trinket and knick knack in the room. Are they there just because you have them and hate to throw anything out or are they there because you truly love them and enjoy looking at them? Only items that you are proud of should be kept. Donate some items or give to friends who have admired them. The rest can be tossed out. You want a clean slate to start your makeover.

Once the clean and de-clutter is done I always suggest you walk into your bedroom with an objective eye as if you were visiting the room for the first time. Does it feel like a quiet retreat? Does it reflect your personality? Sometimes the de-clutter is all it takes and you fall in love with your room again. If that is the case treat yourself to a few new accessories and you are done. For most of us though it is time for a change as we have gotten bored with the color palette and decor style.
First, take a look at the bed. It is the focal point of the room. Do you like the headboard? If not, there are many ways to very inexpensively make it look like you got new furniture. Upholstered headboards are not only trendy, they are practical and inexpensive.
