3 Ways To Spruce Up Your Bedroom

BedroomPresented By Sainsburys Often when you have children, they completely take over your life. Their toys are everywhere in the house and you can€™t ever sneak off to relax without hearing squeals of €œmum€ every two minutes. The one time you truly get to relax is when they€™re tucked up in bed for the night and you retreat to your room. This means it really is important that this room is a complete chill-out zone for you €“ and transforming it could be much easier, and cheaper, than you expected. A lick of paint€ If you have a tired bedroom with outdated wallpaper but can€™t afford to redecorate the entire room, one way that you can give your bedroom a completely different feel is by simply painting over the wallpaper. Here are a few ideas to try: Paint your own mural on a feature wall for something different. If you€™re artistic skills are lacking then have someone create a mural for you or use stencils. Paint over patterned wallpaper for a new lease of live with a familiar pattern and texture. Use accent colours to add depth. Painting one wall a different shade is a popular option but what about just painting recesses in the walls or around the windows? Don€™t forget to paint the ceiling and skirting boards too for a clean look all over. White is the classic choice but there are other options you can try if you€™re feeling adventurous. Black ceilings can make ceilings feel lower but if fitted with recessed spotlights then they could mimic the night sky for something special. If you have floorboards then give them a lick of paint too. White is a great option for a clean and relaxing look but if you want something more practical then opt for darker shades or natural varnishes. Add rugs for extra comfort and colour. And some new bedding€ New bedding can really help to make a bedroom feel transformed and like a totally different room and here are a few things to remember: To help make your room more relaxing, go for soft, subtle pastel colours to create a sleep-inducing atmosphere. Use soft and silky fabrics for that feel of luxury. Keep value in mind by shopping from the Sainsbury€™s bedding sale. Opt for completely white bedding all over for something classic and calming. You can always add a small injection of colour with a runner and a single decorative cushion if you want. Add a canopy to make your bed a real focal point and add depth to the style. Use light, translucent fabrics to stop it weighing down the bed. A few home furnishings... Furnishings such as pictures of your loved ones or ornaments can really help to make your room feel more homely and there are plenty of ways to make them work: Create a collage of photos and frame it to include multiple photos without taking up to much room. Keep any photos or artwork you hang on the walls at an equal height. This should be around eye level or just above. Create a personalised border for your room using photos or a personal design.
