Call it a refresh for the change of seasons…
Here are my bedroom refresh tips with minimum spend!
Quick Bedroom Refresh Tips
1. Bed Linens
The bed is the focal point of the bedroom. And when your bed is made and tidy it makes a huge difference! So making sure your bed looks good is the easiest way to refresh your bedroom.
Changing your duvet and your bed sheets is simple but will transform your bedroom. Whether you go for a neutral or patterned option, what’s on your bed will completely change how the bedroom looks and feels. I always love getting a new linen set just for that reason alone.
You can change up the look from week to week depending on how you’re feeling. Choosing contrasting or similar colours to what’s in your bedroom will make it feel like a different space. Changing the bed colours, fabrics, and textures according to the season is a great way to try something new.
Layering your bedding is another way to refresh your space and interest in the space. Layer chunky knits at the end of the bed for the colder season. And light cotton or linen covers for summer.
Pillows of different sizes, colours and textures will freshen up the top of your bed. It’s up to you how simple or dressy you’d like to make it, as there are lots of different ways to style a bed.
2. Declutter
Decluttering might be a bit more of a task but it is definitely minimum spend. Getting clear with what should stay in your bedroom and what can go is going to free up the space around you.
You’ll feel a whole lot better once it is tidy and organized. Once that’s done you might actually have the room to add a new piece of furniture to the bedroom.
Make use of the spaces where you can fit into some extra storage. If you have space under your bed use baskets or boxes to keep things organized and tidy. You might consider adding a wall shelf to keep personal items out of the way.
Organizing your closet space and dresser storage properly will help with maximizing your storage and change the feel of your bedroom for the better.
3. Artwork & Wall Decor
Choosing artwork that resonates with you and fits the space is another way for a quick refresh.
Yes, pricing for the artwork you like can vary dramatically and it’s totally personal. If you’re looking to keep it within a certain price bracket there are lots of ways to some affordable artwork you like without spending loads of money.
Using your photos or photos from magazines is a cost-friendly option. It doesn’t have to be framed artwork, put up a textile piece like a macrame hanging. Try your hand at creating some artwork yourself.
Mirrors are also a nice touch for a bedroom. Especially if you’d like to keep your bedroom more of a neutral space. Mirrors make the room feel bigger and reflect the light
4. Plants
Bringing in a couple of plants will literally breathe life into the bedroom! The same goes for a bunch of fresh flowers. These can be simply from your garden. Plants and flowers bring in life and colour and will help freshen your bedroom up!
5. Feng Shui
Applying some basic Feng Shui tips to your bedroom you might find that you sleep a little better. It’s simply adjusting the arrangement of your furniture and certain pieces that might be affecting the energy of the bedroom.
You don’t need to apply all the tips to the space. Some changes might work for you and others may not.
If you do make any changes it might be worth noting down if you feel any different or notice any changes just by writing it down. This goes for all the tips in the post. After all your space is supposed to make you feel happier and healthier!
6. Lighting
Regarding quick bedroom refresh tips, you can swap out the light shades. The price of light fixtures varies in price. But if you have a simple pendant light swapping out the light shade will have a big impact on your bedroom. Rattan and paper light shades are some of the most inexpensive light shades to get.
If you’re in need of some extra lighting next to your bed, plug-in lights are an easy option. Or this light sconce wall hack will help. You can also use a floor lamp next to your bed if you’ve no space left for a lamp on your nightstand. This will help free up some space and give you some much-needed light and night.
7. Personal Touches
What makes your bedroom yours or any space for that matter is you. So what items are important to you? What brings a smile to your face and brings up the best memories? Put those things in prime place and position!
8. Make Your Bedroom Multi-Purpose
If you have the space in your bedroom consider creating another area. This could be a small work area with a desk and a chair. Or a mini relaxing space away from your bed to read, reflect, and journal.
I always fall asleep when reading or writing in bed so I like having a separate area in my room for things like that. That way there’s a stronger chance of me staying awake.
9. Style Your Nightstands
Use your nightstands to your advantage, style them pretty but practically. Keep your nightstands organized and balanced between essentials such as a lamp, a place for your eyeglasses, and your phone. With a couple of styling accessories like a photo frame, some florals, or a scented candle.
Keep your nightstands nice and simple and practical for your needs.
10. Make The Bed
Making the bed daily is a sure way to keep your bedroom space brighter and more welcoming.
Those are the top tips for a bedroom refresh without doing an all-out makeover! Is your bedroom in need of a refresh? Let me know which of these bedroom refresh tips you’ll be using!
