Room Makeover On A Budget

There are instances when we look around our bedroom and realize that there is a need to do a makeover. But you might worry about not having a budget for it. You could be thinking of what you can do in order to get a better bedroom with fewer budgets or by not spending anything at all. Well, as the adage says, if there is a will, there is a way. Look around you and check on the things that you can use for your makeover. For sure, you will be able to find a way on how you can have a seemingly new bedroom.

It doesn’t mean that just because you have lesser budget, that you will no longer be able to get the kind of bedroom you want. You can! You can get ideas first by looking at some bedroom design inspirations then try to think of how you can get a similar look by spending less. Aside from that, there are still other things that you can do to get a bedroom makeover even if you are on a budget.

1. Add wallpapers

Wallpaper is a lot cheaper than paint. It is also easier to install on the wall. You can even choose lovely prints and colors to use that would fit the kind of look you want. Wallpapers are not just good for walls but it can also be used for furniture. Look for wallpapers from thrift shops so you can save money.

2. Sew curtains

You can get the kind of curtain you want by making it. Grab a fabric that is inexpensive and make your own curtain. There are even no sewing curtains that will make your work a lot easier. Try to look at magazines or search for them on the internet. You can surely get ideas on what you can do with your curtain.

3. Revamp furniture

Instead of getting new furniture, why don’t you revamp your bed and cabinets? You can repaint them or you can also place wallpapers on them. Be creative with your design. After your makeover, your bed, chairs and cabinets will look like totally new.

4. Make a headboard

One highlight of a bedroom is the headboard. After you have revamped the look of your bed, work on the headboard too. Check on what materials you have at home which can be a good headboard. Again, wallpaper can do the work but you can also try more creative ways. You can even place your own canopy bed if you want to.

5. Add wall decals

Aside from wallpapers, wall decals are good too. The difference is that these wall decals occupy a lesser space on your wall. It can even be transferred to other areas if you want to. Wall decals are also good for children’s bedroom. It can liven up a boring wall and will surely add beauty to your bedroom.

6. Make pillow and bed covers

If you have that sewing skills, make your own covers for the pillow and bed. Choose fabrics with lovely prints or those with prints that fits your bedroom’s motif. You can also buy covers. It would be wise to get those with high quality so that they will last long. Merely changing your covers will already give your bedroom a new look.

7. Rearrange furniture

If there is still enough space in your room, why not rearrange your furniture? Drag your bed to a different area and place your cabinets in a different location. This way, you will give your bedroom a new look and it might even give it more space. Make sure that in arranging your bedroom furniture, you will bear in mind the traffic in your bedroom.

8. De-clutter room

If you intend to do a makeover, do not skip this part. Do away with things that you no longer use because this will just crowd your room. Then create storage spaces so you can keep all your stuff well. This can give you a neater space.

9. Salvage furniture

You might feel that you need a new piece of furniture in your bedroom. Instead of getting brand new pieces, you can salvage furniture from thrift shops or from sellers who have second hand items. Clean them well before using. Fix them if there are slight damages and do some makeover. This will make the furniture look brand new.

10. Makeover decorations

Part of your bedroom is decorations. You can work on them to make them appear new. Like an old golden mirror can be painted to fit your bedroom’s motif. You can also make your own decorations. Then arrange them well in your bedroom.

Well, you really do not need to spend much in order to redecorate a bedroom. You can have a simple makeover even if you are in a budget. Do not forget to organize your things and to look for clever ways to design your bedroom.

10 Ways to Brighten Your Day

While you may not realize it, if you have been feeling tired, cranky, stressed or just not in a great mood, look to your home and it’s sources of natural light. It’s a proven fact that humans respond, act and feel better in a home that has plenty of natural light but also has light inspired decor. Even for your darkest rooms there is a way to bring in lighter finishes to play off of the darker ones. Whether you are looking to add more physical daylight or you’re trying to choose finishes that will brighten up your space and mood, look at the 10 easy tips to bring more light into your dark interiors.

1. Walk through your home and assess the dark areas

If you’ve been living in your home for a while, most likely you are used to its dark areas. Closets, living and family rooms that don’t bring in enough natural light, or possibly the current paint color scheme and dark furniture is making your interiors feel like a black hole. Before you can brighten your interiors, you will need to discover what factors are creating the dark feeling.

2. Mix and match rich color neutrals and white in your decor

If your home needs some warmth, look to rich bodied neutrals such as espresso brown, camel tan, mushroom gray and warm rust colors. The brown, white, tan families of colors are extremely versatile and look great when placed next to dark wood floors, doors, and heavy wood furniture.

3. Open up a dark ceiling with recessed lighting fixtures

For many homes dark painted ceilings or even wood paneled ceiling applications are common. While the darker ceilings create a dramatic mood within the room, they can also leave the room feeling like a cave. Recessed lighting fixtures or commonly referred to as “can lights” can brighten up the ceiling without being obtrusive to the eye. Consider installing a dimmer switch to have versatile lighting control.

4. Combine lighter finishes amongst your dark kitchen cabinetry

If you love the look of rich and dark-colored kitchen cabinetry and dark flooring consider using lighter finish countertops or mix and match lighter cabinetry alongside your dark ones. You will be surprised how your kitchen is more enjoyable to work in when it has plenty of light and feels open. If you are in the process of choosing finishes for a kitchen remodel, consider these ideas to keep your kitchen light and airy.

5. Choose accent kitchen pendant lighting that performs double-duty

If your kitchen is only dark in certain areas, consider pendant lighting fixtures that will brighten up a dark corner or above a breakfast bar beautifully. Choose an accent pendant light that wows the rest of the kitchen. Lighting manufacturers have a plethora of designer glass, stainless steel, mosaic tile and even artisan blown glass pendant lights to choose from!

6. Bringing light to your dramatic dark bedroom

There is something to be said for a dark and sophisticated bedroom! When the walls, bedding, flooring and accessories are all dark it can create a heavenly den to cozy up to after a long workday. If you like the dramatic appeal, consider adding soft lighting in strategic areas to still keep the mood but to aid in seeing and appreciating your bedroom. Look to creative lighting in display built-in shelves such as “puck” or under cabinet lighting and accent fixtures such as pendants and table lamps with soft glowing lamp shades to do just the trick.

7. Striking a balance between dark and light in your bedroom

Your bedroom is one of the few places in your home that is truly yours and you don’t have to please your guests, the only important person is you! Therefore, strike a balance in your design style. If you have dark walls, why not create a contrast with light bedding in soft ecru, butter yellow, or varying shades of off white sheets, throw pillows, and bedroom decor to give your bedroom a balanced and relaxing atmosphere.

8. Choosing the right darker colors for your next painting project

Do you have a room that you can’t wait to paint, by leery as to what dark colors to choose? Don’t shy away from dark colors! They are a wonderful way to bring dramatic aesthetics to your space and they add personality. First look to your space for natural light sources. The more windows and doors your walls have, the darker the wall color can be. If you have very small windows or only a few, opt for lighter shades of the darker hue to make the room feel brighter and larger.

9. Brightening your dark wardrobe closets

One of the darkest rooms in your home is the closet where you store your clothes. Whether your closet lies on the interior of your bedroom and doesn’t have windows or because it was an afterthought by the housing developer there are beautiful solutions to fix this problem. Either way there are ways to bring light to this dark room. Lighting fixtures such as pendant lights and recessed lighting can bring extra illumination to dressing areas as well as hanging regions. Look to add mirrors where you can to reflect the light you do have.

10. Bring in natural light into your closets

Instead of thinking that you are stuck with a dark closet, consider adding a window or clerestory windows that allow light in without losing valuable wall storage space. If your closet is on the interior of your home and doesn’t have an exterior wall, look to a solar tube that bring light from your roof down into your closet. These are energy efficient because they don’t use electricity and they illuminate your closet with natural glowing light.

Best House Furniture - Interior Design

If you want to change your home interior design and at the same time spend a little money, here you are some essential steps. Primarily, you should plan in order to link everything. Secondly, determine what kind of design you want in your home. Make sure that the desired design is practical and requires no change in the structure of the house to save your money, and make a budget.

After you finished from planning, try to choose the starting point and ask yourself where can I begin? From the inside or outside? then you can start the influential factor on the appearance or design of the house such, painting on the wall, furniture, and assemblies used to consider the arrangement of its objects. You can paint various areas in your house with the same paint.

If your budget wasn’t sufficient, you can remove some movable objects or sets of furniture.

Try to benefit from other outdoor furniture and keep space between furniture as much as possible. You also can be regular or different in some areas as long as go great together and works well with the interior design generally.

To create a modern design, you should use bamboo, as bamboo has many characteristics including being environmentally friendly wood as a matter of fact, it is made of grass. Moreover, bamboo grows to maturity in less than four years, and can be sustainably grown almost anywhere in the world.

Metal furniture and other decorative metallic colors can give a sense of modern life, simplify the design, and give an optimal atmosphere for any modern bedroom. Finally, palms can help the milieu around a bed or a comfortable modern room.

You must take care of the furniture and decor of the bedroom and other rooms of your home and make sure the furniture is centered around the bed.

Here you are some important notes: Keep your house clean and tidy, clean up after dinner, avoid congestion of personal accessories, rugs and paintings on the walls, and try to hide power cables behind furniture.

Decorating Your First House

1. Stick to a neutral palette

We can’t stress this one enough. Sticking to a neutral colour palette will enable you to change the look and feel of your space more easily and means you don’t have to repaint every time you want to change things up or with each new season. A neutral colour palette is versatile, chic and simple. There are over 180 shades of white paint available giving you more than enough choice and it’s far from boring. Think China white, Chantilly lace, Pearl lusta and Chalk white. White is the perfect backdrop to showcase your furniture and decor and ensures they get the attention they deserve. This go-to neutral pairs perfectly with every shade, but don’t underestimate its power to stand alone.

2. It’s all about texture and interest

Texture adds sensory richness. The rule of thumb when decorating with white is to use textures to create layers of comfort to avoid it looking cold and flat. It’s also a good rule to remember when decorating in general. It’s the little details that create interest and depth. In the bedroom, use throws or blankets on your bed and on your favourite chair, add a lovely cushion. In a living room where there is more space to fill generally, consider adding piles of books topped with a lamp or lovely glass cut bowl filled with objects next to a chair to create a cozy nook.

3. Invest in hero pieces

Every room needs a hero piece. A hero piece is the main focus or statement in a room so in your living room it may be your sofa and in your bedroom, probably your bed. Getting these key pieces right is the most important part of successful interior design so it makes sense to choose these items carefully and if your budget allows, to spend a little more on acquiring them. Keeping your hero piece in mind will be an automatic filter when you see items and bargains for sale. All you need to ask yourself is “will it go with my hero piece?”

4. Accessorizing is key

Accent items are like the icing on a cake. Without them, a room can feel empty and bland. You’ll be surprised how many accent pieces you already have in your home that you might not be using so it doesn’t always mean you have to spend money. Re-think items you currently have. Could you change things around for a new look? Try a different cushion on your bed. Changing your accent pieces as the seasons change is a great way to keep things looking fresh.

5. Have fun

Perhaps the most valuable piece of advice is to have fun with your decorating and personalize the space. Use objects that have meaning to you and reflect your personality. Think trinkets obtained from travels or favorite items bought. It only takes a little imagination.

Finding the right bathroom tiles for your home

Depending how your bathroom looks like, selecting the best bathroom tiles can be an art and also a science as well. Despite the varieties of the bathroom tiles, you have to consider many aspects, for example the design, the functionality, the composition, the suitability to lay such tiles and so on.

1. Consult an expert

This is always, and ever, the fastest and most effective way to narrow down the types. Bathroom tiles can beauty or destroy your bathroom modeling. Hence, you cannot look down at the impact of such a small element.

2. Understand the available options

Mostly people will choose materials such as ceramic, glass, stone and porcelain. They usually suit all bathroom areas, be it wet or dry. Among these, ceramic is the cheapest while the porcelain will provide a more appealing look. You must count on the labor cost too, as each option has their respective difficulty when it comes to laying and sealing properly.

3. Floor and wall are not similar

Do make sure yourself to get this message clearly. Wall tiles cannot be used on the bathroom floor, and vice versa. For the types mentioned above, stone is not so functional than ceramic because it is less water resistant. Even for ceramic tiles, they could be divided into different sub-options too. Glazed ceramic would be easily slick so it is better for wall.

4. Bathroom and shower could be different

Many people love to choose same tiles for both to make a consistent look. Act out of the box, and therefore you can mix up the style or choose different color but they are still in the same hues. Again, be practical. Porcelain could be more durable throughout the years of wear and tear.

5. Size judges the bathroom size

Let’s back to the tile design topic. The bigger size the tile is, the bigger size your bathroom is. It is kind of visual illusion. It normally does the trick as long as your bathroom is not too tiny. How much spacing in between tiles do you wish to have? How do you want it to be positioned? Do you want it to cover or show some wall spaces? You could have a really lengthy list to go on before deciding on how to model your bathroom with nice tiles.

If you do consult a professional, you can always ask his or her opinion to see whether your view is correct or not. Overall, you must know that modeling a bathroom is not equal to modeling a bedroom. It is more about the functional aspect.

Children’s Bedroom Furniture

Kid’s bedroom is much more than a place to sleep. Therefore, it is no surprise that parents want their kid’s bedroom to be the most magical place in the world. Admittedly, parents are attracted to cute tiny furniture but wonder whether it will meet their kid’s changeable needs and moods in the coming years. Unless you are going to redesign your kid’s bedroom every now and then, you may consider these tips while buying the furniture for your child’s bedroom.

Classical Wood style

It is unlikely that you will change the furniture sooner. So, opt for a classical style of furniture that will grow with your children and avoid themed products. Your son will outgrow the car bed after a couple of years. Wood furniture is always neutral, timeless and meshes with all ages. Remember to buy sturdy and practical items, you know how children usually misuse furniture.

The bed

Definitely, go for single full length beds. You will much appreciate that choice five years later when you will not need to change the beds. Besides, invest in designs that offer storage cabinets. These storage cabinets keep your children’s room organized. (Though, I can’t guarantee this myself.)

Bunk beds

Bunk beds are great options too. They can do miracles if you have more than one child in a restricted room. Even if you have one child, you may consider a bunk bed too in order to accommodate a friend or a guest. If your children insist on a bunk bed and you fear they might outgrow it soon, you may get a bunk bed that can turn into two separate beds in case they dislike it someday. Consider modern designs which offer bunk beds with storage.

Wardrobe

Whether it is a two-door wardrobe or a three-door wardrobe, it is important to keep in mind that it will grow with your kids. Again, go for durability and high quality. This will cost you more money, but over the long run it is a good investment in your children’s bedroom.

All in all, while tiny furniture items may seem cute at first glance, you will have to abandon them a few years later. Children grow up fast and their needs change constantly. It is therefore reasoned that you should opt for grown-up furniture especially when it comes to main items like the bed or wardrobe.

Bathroom Theme – Bathroom Decorating Tips

To decorate your bathroom, try to ensure that there are no leaks or any entrance for insects. Your bathroom’s floor could be the focal point that will determine the theme, the color, and the design of the place. The ceramic tiles are cheap and easy to clean and dry. You can easily remove the damaged tiles and replace them without taking off any other tile. The marble flooring looks fantastic, but it will need regular cleanup to avoid stains. As for the chips, it is very cheap but not very luxurious. Whatever the material you will use, try to make sure that your floor looks beautiful, clean, and dry.

The harmonious decoration needs a unified theme. You can choose the main theme of your home. You may opt for the theme of beach. To enhance this theme, you will need to install blue tiles and matching murals on the wall with some photographs for your children playing on the seashore. The accessories and furnishings could be in the sand shade. Some sea shells on the wall will be a great addition to this theme. If you want to implement the classic theme, you will use a natural wood for the flooring and furniture, antique cabinets, and charming works of art. For the modern and elegant theme, you can use the pearl white tiles and paint your walls a white color using shining silver towel racks and pastel colored towels. The ultra-modern theme will need smart tools such as the bathtub with several temperature control units and the marriage saver toilet that open, close, and clean itself automatically.

You can add decorated baskets, tissue paper holders, brushes, tooth brush holders, and candles. Your bathroom will need a suitable lighting with mirrors above the sink and on the cabinet door to give an illusion of more space to your bathroom. You can use a bright colored shower curtain made of the durable cotton, the luxurious silk, or the easy to clean vinyl. The look of your bathroom will be complete by using vinyl appliques on the walls, the mirrors, the shelves, or the flooring tiles.
