5 Free Ways To Brighten Up Your Bedroom Style
Its either the kitchen, bathroom or the bedroom we spend most of our time in. However, the bedroom tends to be the most neglected when it comes to decorating. Being honest its usually money that can be a significant factor! Here are some great tips for changing your bedroom style and brightening up your bedroom space with no money at all!
Change your bedroom style with a rearrangement
A new fresh arrangement always makes a room feel new. Don’t be afraid to try new angles for your furniture…place your bed on a diagonal, or even right in the middle of the room!
Changing bedroom styles with matching colour accessories
Search your drawers for scarves, tablecloths, or even pillowcases that compliment your colour scheme. You can use things you already own to soften a dresser top or the edge of your nightstand, or perhaps lay a pretty shawl over the foot of the bed.
If you already have throw pillows on your bed (if you don’t, it’s time to steal them from another room!) you can also wrap these fabrics around the pillows for a new look, and just safety pin it in back.
Add a plant to change your bedroom room style
Look around your house to see if one of your existing plants would be happier in your bedroom, then move it there! But if you can’t find a plant ready for relocation, make one! Many plants can be grown from cuttings, either your existing houseplants, one a friend may let you take a cut of their favourite.
Some outdoor plants like Ivy and many shade ground covers are very good houseplants.
You can even relive your childhood a bit and grow a cut potato, pineapple, or carrot tops in a pinch! For containers, look into your kitchen cupboards. Old teapots and cups, glass bowls, even baking dishes can make unique containers.
Add memorabilia to your bedroom
Try hanging your wedding veil from the headboard, or framing your wedding invitation or old love letters? As well try adding photos of loved ones. I added photos of each one of my children when they were small next to my bedside, it always makes me smile.
Add scent to your bedroom
If you don’t have any potpourri or incense in the house, cut up some orange peels and allow to dry, then mix with whatever sweet spices you have in your cupboard. (It only takes a pinch, try cinnamon, ginger, or allspice.) Place your potpourri in an open bowl in your room to freshen and inspire!
In summer months, make sure to include flowers in your room. If you don’t have roses or other scented flowers in your garden, roadside daisies can smell great too!
A few small changes, with no money involved in changing your bedroom style. It will give you a more positive place for you to start and end each day!
