The bedroom is more than a resting space. It is where you are true to yourself and seek comfort by looking at your style and furniture. It is where you wake up, get ready for the day and wish to be there at the end of the day. So, it needs a few upgrades once in a while to keep things cosier, livelier and more personalised.
Upgrading your bedroom furniture need not be costly. Depending on the damage the present ones have or the finish you wish to see, you can easily give a new look to your bedroom. As simple as adding a new coat of paint to the furniture in a suitable colour will make the room look new and fresh.
Let’s see what other upgrades you can do to your bedroom furniture so that it reflects your style:
- Add furniture wax
If you have wooden furniture like beds, chairs, tables, and stools in your bedroom that look chalky with marks and stains, then add furniture wax to it. It’s an excellent way to add depth and age to the damaged furniture and to make it look new and rich again. It also does a good job of adding character and making the room beautiful again.
- Painted furniture, stained furniture
A simple, affordable and quick way to upgrade old furniture is by adding a coat of paint. If you wish to go bold, choose bright colours like yellow or stay neutral by choosing shades of white. That being said, choosing the right colour can be confusing and you may regret it if the final colour is not enhancing the look.
The trick lies in choosing a colour that contrasts with the furniture colour. Go neutral if you have pillows, sheets, and cushions in bold colours and vice versa. It helps in balancing the tone of the room and refreshes your mind whenever you enter the bedroom.
You can also consider staining the furniture if you want to give a polished look to the furniture.
- Create a DIY headboard
Do you know that you can connect more easily if you have a DIY headboard in your bedroom? You can consider placing some throw pillows, adding string lights, hanging small pictures of you and your family and placing motivational or quirky quotes are some of the examples you can try to get a DIY headboard.
- Find thrift store treasures
If you are thinking of adding new furniture to the bedroom without straining your budget, then consider visiting a thrift store. You will find thrift store treasures like old chests, vintage vanities, drawers, etc., that you can replenish and refurbish. You can transform their look with painting, staining or waxing and they will breathe fresh air into your bedroom.
- Painting the fabric
If you are bored with your current bedding, then keep them aside and buy new bedding. You can consider painting the fabric in your favourite colours to make the bedroom more personalised. You can also repaint the floor rug if you have any and see how easily it changes the colour of your bedroom. And there are plenty of modern rugs available at affordable costs that can give a new look to your bedroom floor.
- Treat the bed frame as the centrepiece of your bedroom
The bed frame is the main focal point in a bedroom. Updating it will immediately bring a changed look to your personal space. Consider affordable frames like metal frames, minimalistic wooden designs and upholstered options to design your bed. You can also go for platform beds to get a modern look or stay classy by choosing a sleigh bed.
- Add stencilling
To make your bedroom more artistic and personal, add stencilling to the furniture. Several online videos help you learn to stencil your furniture. All you need is a stencil, a smooth surface, painter’s tape and a stencil brush. You can draw whatever designs you like and add excellent highlights to your bedroom. These subtle drawings hugely impact the overall look of your bedroom.
Final thoughts
It’s easy to update your bedroom by making simple changes to it. Depending on your budget and the level of change you wish to see will impact your final decision. Just ensure that you are not upgrading every part of the room but only the parts you wish to change. You do not want to make the room completely strange and odd-looking.
