BEDROOM MAKEOVER!  This bedroom is a wonderful space with the skylight, angled ceilings, great natural light and lots of square footage!  As you can see in the before photo above this room was all beige and lacked character.  Due to the angle of the stairs the bed frame couldn’t fit up the stairs so the clients were sleeping on a mattress on the floor. o update The goal of this bedroom makeover was to add in some elements that made it feel more like a master bedroom while sticking to a modest budget. Inspiration boards are a great place to start, it really helps to create a vision for the room and can keep you on track when shopping for items. It’s easy to have a vision, but unless you are clear and create a vision board or a list of what you want it’s easy to spend way more than you intended.  The starting point for this room was the beautiful Pendleton blanket, it was a gift from the husband to the wife when they first moved in together.

Above is the photo that was the inspiration for the bedroom makeover!  I saw this and loved the wood against the dark wall.  Since the bed is in front of a window, the dark wall is a great solution to define the bed. A feature wall using paint or wallpaper is a great alternative to a headboard! We are not going to introduce all the elements in this photo, but it is a good jumping off point.  Try to find inspiration photos that are laid out in a similar fashion to the room you will be making over.

We are making over this room on a budget. Let’s look at what the client wants to spend.  To paint, decorate and add in elements like the wall lamps we are looking to spend around $400.  I know this is a small budget. By making smart choices and keep track of each piece we want to buy this is definitely possible! See some items below, they are all in an affordable price range for a room makeover.
