Your bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your house. It’s where you escape to for peace and quiet, and to relax after long days. Every homeowner wants to come home to a luxury master bedroom. Are you ready for a full master bedroom makeover that will turn your functional space into budget-friendly luxury?

What Is a Good Budget for Upgrading a Master Bedroom?

This is the big question that often stops people from indulging in a master bedroom makeover. But there’s no minimum entry fee to redecorate or upgrade a master bedroom. Spend as much or as little as you’d like! 

There are plenty of ways to save money without compromising on transforming your master bedroom into an ideal version of itself. 

Need ideas for how to save a little cash? Here’s a list:

• Thrifting: Thrift stores and flea markets are excellent places to find unique or gently used pieces of furniture and decor at a lower price. 
• DIY: Between YouTube, WikiHow, and forums like Reddit, it’s easier than ever to learn how to accomplish small tasks on your own. It saves money on hiring a professional and teaches you a new skill.
• Check Online: Before going to the store, check on social media and sites like eBay to see if you can find pieces for less. Many cities or counties even have local “Buy Nothing” groups on certain social media sites where you can make a request or skim listings to get things at zero cost!

Update Master Bedroom — Closets First

When you’re thinking of master bedroom ideas, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the big picture. Determining what might work in a small space or how to alter the aesthetics of a larger space can trigger some indecision anxiety.

Master bedroom closets are an excellent place to start. They add a lot of value to your room, especially a walk-in closet.

If you have space, creating a walk-in closet can make your bedroom feel like a whole new room. You can have custom closet storage designed to fit your needs and style perfectly. It will create more space in your actual bedroom for other furniture, such as a vanity or a chaise lounge.

Closet Storage Organization Tips

If you don’t have the space for a walk-in closet, optimizing your storage will provide a more organized bedroom. Consider adding wire shelving to your closet if you don’t already have it. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also easy to clean and maintain and allows more ventilation, decreasing dust build-up.

You could also:

• Move your shoe rack into the closet. Or, if you’re short on floor space, use an over-the-door organizer for shoes and other items.

• Get storage bins with labels for easy access to anything you need. 

• Consider hanging organizers! These often have velcro straps that wrap around the clothing bar, providing you with several storage cubbies. 

• Put a floor-length mirror on the back of your closet door if you don’t have space for one or a full vanity in the main room.

Freshen up with New Paint

Applying a fresh coat of paint is the perfect way to kick off a master bedroom makeover. Choose your color based on the aesthetic you want. Bold colors work to reflect daring, vibrant personalities. They work best in larger spaces with plenty of natural light.

For a cozy feeling, stick with warm, neutral colors. It’s best to stick with one color, especially in a smaller space. You don’t want to overpower your senses with too many colors, making the room feel cluttered. If you have a bigger room, though, consider accenting with a fun, modern wallpaper to add character.

Add a Custom Mirror

The bathroom isn’t the only place for mirrors. Having a custom mirror in your bedroom can make a small room appear larger. A mirror can reflect light from windows or lighting, making the room brighter. 

Adding a framed custom mirror as a focal point in your bedroom can give it a modern, minimal feeling. Also, consider a fun hanging method to make your mirror a centerpiece of the overall design.

Think Tall

If you have a smaller room, creating the illusion of a bigger area can be difficult, but with the right tricks, it can be done. Drawing the eye upwards in a small space makes it feel larger. Try adding a tall headboard to your bed or create custom shelving that goes all the way up to the ceiling. It’s functional and aesthetic! 

Fun and Simple DIY Projects

One of the best ways to save money when you upgrade a master bedroom is by tackling projects yourself! There are plenty of things you can do without a professional. You only need a few simple tools, some enthusiasm, and a little time!

1. Install a shelf above your bed. Placing a shelf above your headboard gives you the perfect spot for charging your phone at night, placing your Kindle or book when you’re finished reading, and storing other things you need access to daily. 
2. Create your own vanity. Vanities can be expensive! But it’s easy to create your own. Get a simple desk, add storage shelving units underneath it (even the simple plastic ones will work!) for all your self-care materials, and hang a mirror on the wall above it. 
3. Transform functional storage into something stylish. Do you have a large chest full of keepsakes and trinkets sitting against one of your walls? Get some fabric and wrap it, then put it at the end of your bed to create a cool storage ottoman. You could even take it a step further by buying foam padding, wrapping it in felt or another soft material, and placing that on top, creating an additional seating space. 

Don’t Forget the Details

Updating your furniture may seem expensive, but sometimes all it takes is a little imagination. Try painting an old bedroom set to give it new life. It can make you feel like you’ve purchased a brand new dresser or desk, but you’ve given something old and outdated a new purpose, saving yourself money and helping the environment.

Decor is another aspect of a proper master bedroom makeover. Tie in your decor with the color scheme of the room. Add drapes or shades and a rug to make the space feel softer and cozier. 

Also, make sure you have a place to sit that is separate from the bed for relaxing or reading. A simple bench underneath the window or an armchair in the corner of the room can do wonders to make the space feel more lived-in and purposeful.

Using wall art and adding little touches of your style throughout the room will make it feel like your own hideaway.
