5 Budget-Friendly Bedroom Upgrades
Playful Pillows
Few things spruce up a bedroom
more than new throw pillows.
Available in a myriad of sizes and
shapes – from squares to rectangles
to asymmetrical – there is no shortage
of ways to use these functional
pieces to brighten up a space.
Uplifting Light
Old-fashioned lamps, ancient wall
sconces and dusty chandeliers can
make a room feel stale. Scouring
consignment stores and estate sales
for new lighting can take a bedroom
from dated to delightful without
spending a ton of cash. If big box
stores are more your thing, you can
fi nd budget lamps in unexpected
departments; for example, try the
back-to-school sections for dormfriendly
fi nds like twinkle lights and
small bedside lamps. These little
pops of light can both brighten and
cozy up a room with minimal effort.
Punchy Paint
Repainting a room is a doable DIY
project, and it can make a huge
difference in how a room looks and
feels. Give yourself time to peruse
the countless paint swatches at specialty
paint stores or home improvement
stores. If you’ve always gravitated
toward earthy tones, maybe
opt for a color with a little more
depth or saturation. If brighter hues
are your thing, go a little darker. If
you love the idea of painting but
worry about buyer’s remorse, start
with an accent wall.

pulls and doorknobs can be replaced

Feature Impact
Making changes to a bedroom
doesn’t have to break the
bank. Simple swaps, a little
DIY and some inexpensive purchases
can go a long way toward
freshening up the place you lay
your head.
Better Bedding
If you can’t remember the last time
you bought a new comforter, it may
be time to snag one. Think beyond
the luxury home stores and check
out discount home decor retailers
and even thrift stores, where
you can often fi nd new, unopened
bedding at a fraction of the cost. A
fl uffy throw blanket in a dynamic
new color might be the perfect way
to rejuvenate your bed.
