Home Redesign ~ Your bedroom, after all your bedroom should be your personal retreat.
Home Redesign, don't let your bedroom be the last room in your house to decorate, after all your bedroom should be your personal retreat. I know we all seem to focus on the key rooms in our home, but don't neglect the most important room...your bedroom. In my next post I will talk about the importance of having the right mattress and how important sleep is to us all.
Where you should splurge on your home redesign...
• Fine bedding is the last thing you feel as you drift off and the first thing you're aware of as you awake. Don't settle for anything less than the absolute best you can afford.
• Original art is a worthwhile investment that injects a room with personality -- a key ingredient for truly successful design projects. Although you're likely to spend $200 and up for small oil paintings, there are other affordable options, like original prints, photography and watercolors. Attend local art fairs and annual exhibits of projects by fine arts students.
• Couture pillow fabrics transform even the most generic bedding into a custom-coordinated style statement. Source quality remnants from fabric retailers. For an 18-inch square pillow, you'll need only about three-quarters of a yard of fabric, so go ahead and treat yourself. • Quality upholstery is always a smart investment.
Where to save on your home redesign....
• Ready-made draperies offer considerable savings and work well for most relatively standard windows. Before shopping, take detailed measurements of the window and its exact location within the full wall.
• Affordable lamps are available at large retailers across Charlotte, North Carolina. TJ-Maxx, Marshells, Target, Home Goods, Pottery Barn and IKEA have excellent selections.
• A headboard frame you cover yourself -- in an affordable linen or cotton -- is a budget-friendly alternative to buying a handcrafted solid wood bed frame. You won't sacrifice an ounce of style, and you'll love it if you read in bed.
• Garage sale finds like side tables are instantly renewed with spray paint. Opt for fresh white to improve the style quotient. Add new hardware, and you'll save big without skimping on style.
• Accessories are readily available at any price point, so here's where you can be thrifty. Wait for sales, buy end-of-season remainders and source retailers.
Remember in any great home redesign, make your room reflect your style and personality.
