Do you feel like your bedroom is outdated but don’t have the time, resources, or money to redesign it? You can still make your bedroom look modern and stylish without making significant changes.
There are nine clever tricks that many renters use to make their bedroom unique and contemporary. Ready to get started? This list below is full of ways you can turn your bedroom from boring to beautiful without a redesign.
1. Removable Wallpaper
When you live in an apartment, you may feel some restriction on what you can do to your walls. Maybe it was someone fed up in their apartment who created removable wallpaper.
You can use this wallpaper type in an apartment because it comes off without leaving a nasty residue. You can finally change the look of your bedroom without worrying about not getting your deposit back. Another great thing about removable wallpaper is that you can change it whenever you want a new look.
2. Dramatic Headboard
We know changing our walls is the most significant way to spruce up our bedroom, but in an apartment, we don’t have that option. Why not add a big headboard that can take up much of the wall? If you choose a dramatic headboard that is tall and wide, you’ve changed your wall in a sense.
A big headboard can add a lot of style to the room and set the tone for the rest of the bedroom. A few fantastic ways to pull this off is by installing a big mirror as your headboard. This will open up the room, making it feel much larger.
Another idea is to add a tufted upholstery headboard. This will feel luxurious and so comfortable to lean on when you are sitting in bed. Just imagine breakfast or watching TV from your bed with this plush headboard supporting your back.
3. Vibrant Plants
When considering design — don't forget about plants! They have a potent effect on a room. If you want to bring life to your room, plants are the way to do it. They also help you feel better by improving the quality of air in the bedroom. Imagine how much better you’ll sleep with purer air. Consider buying a big potted tree or hanging a plant from a corner and letting it drape over your headboard.
4. Unique Wall Switches
Sometimes it’s the little details that make the biggest difference. Changing up your light switch and electric plug covers to be stylish and unique is an excellent example of this. Change them easily with just a quick removal of two screws. This website has so many to choose from that you’ll find one to match any room.
5. Lush and Plush Rug
Are you looking to bring in extra comfort for your bedroom? The best way to do this is with a beautiful lush rug. Large area rugs can open up the room and add color and personality to the floor. If you want something a bit smaller, you can add rugs on both sides of the bed.
Using the softest material for these bedside rugs will feel so lovely on your feet when you crawl in and out of bed.
6. New Bedding
If your bed seems drab and dull, it’s time to bring in some new bedding and make your bed a sanctuary. By splurging for top quality bedding, you can make your whole bedroom look better.
The right bedding can bring both color and luxury to the bedroom while helping you feel like royalty when you’re all bundled up at night.
7. Wall Art
If you’re happy with the pieces in your room but need a visual update, hanging wall art that captures the eye is effective.
The versatility of wall art is limitless. You can use them to add color or make your room more monochrome. You can arrange them symmetrically or create a gallery wall of no set pattern. The real point is just to break up a dull wall, and art can accomplish this.
8. Dressed Up Windows
You can take facets of your room and make them look their best to update your bedroom. Your windows are a great example of this. New curtains can transform the entire room. All you have to do to make your room look taller is raise the rod up to about three inches from the ceiling and use floor-length curtains.
You don’t have to stop there. You can dress your windows up even more by securing them with fancy tie backs that will add style to your room.
9. Accent Furniture
Often, all you need to do to your room to make it look redesigned is to bring in a new piece of furniture. You can make your own little reading nook or seating area with a comfy chair and a soft footstool.
A rolling cart can be a luxe addition to your jewelry and toiletry storage. You can roll it into the closet or the bathroom for use wherever you are grooming. A foot-of-the-bed bench is an age-old piece of bedroom accent furniture. It provides storage and a sturdier place to sit than the bed.
If you tend to get your best ideas at night, you could really use a desk to jot down your midnight inspirations. It can even double as a vanity.
Conclusion
Voila! You now have nine ways to add some fresh design to your bedroom. You can pick one or mix and match. Many of these come with minimal cost, so they fit into almost every budget. None of them take long either, so you can complete a project in only one day. Go, make your bedroom gorgeous!
