Decorating a Bedroom on a Budget

Decorating a bedroom on a budget needn't be difficult or extremely challenging. It's as simple or complicated as you make it. I understand how boring a bedroom can get if you haven't redecorated in quite a while, and yet, it's quite simple, and can be very inexpensive to make your bedroom over into a comfortable, inviting retreat. I have decorated many a bedroom on a budget, and every time, it's been quick, simple, and the end results have been beautiful!

Painting- A new coat of paint on all the walls, or even one or two, can change a room dramatically. Paint isn't overly expensive, and is a quick "pick-me-up" for any room. You don't have to paint an entire room for a new look, you can paint one or two walls, or even just paint trim, and change the entire room in less than a day's time. There are also various painting techniques that are absolutely beautiful, and you can really get creative with them. "Sponge painting" is a beautiful option, and great if you are using more than two colors to spruce up the room, the results are a soft "multi-color" look, and it even looks rather like wallpaper. "Rag painting" is very similar to sponge painting, and also has a "multi-color" look, but the effect is bolder and looks more textured. WALLPAPER BORDERS- Wallpaper borders can be found in most dollar stores inexpensively (often as cheap as $1.00 a roll!), and there are many different themes and designs out there! You can use wallpaper borders around doorways, as a "chair-rail" border, with or without painting the walls, and they are a quick inexpensive "fix" to decorating a room. You can tie any theme from a wallpaper border in to any decorating scheme fairly inexpensively. Wallpaper borders are especially great for children's rooms and nurseries.
