Are you getting tired of your apartment and its look? Happens to us all. While weโve worked hard to make our apartments our homes, sometimes its design and interior can become rather boring and old. Therefore, from time to time, give your apartment a little facelift! We understand with rent, bills, and other costs, spending money on a facelift for the apartment might be out of the question, but there is a lot you can do to spruce up a room on a budget as well!
Let’s start off with the bedroom. The bedroom is one of the rooms in your apartment where you spend the most time. Therefore, the room should be fit to serve a King or Queen, or both. Changing up the interior of the bedroom doesnโt have to be costly and it can really help the energy of the room. Here are our suggestions for a facelift on a $200 budget.ย
1. Plants
Plants can really give life to any room. Whether you go for the alive or fake version, plants make any place homier and it just feels more โfreshโ. If you have a larger room you can easily fit a bigger plant in one of your bedroom corners. Weโre aware that bedroom sizes vary so donโt fret if you donโt have a big bedroom. Putting a smaller plant on top of your dresser or bookshelf serves the same purpose.
2. Pillows
While some people might be lucky enough to have a bedroom thatโs big enough to hold a couch (where are you living?!), most of us do not. However, if you have a bed (if you donโt have a bed, we suggest you spend the entire budget on a bed instead) or a chair located in your room, then you can use these two items to store some colorful and vibrant new pillows.
3. Curtains
If you donโt currently have curtains in your room, this is the time to get some. If you donโt have a lot of money, but you desperately want to update your bedroom, start with some new curtains. The wonderful thing about curtains is that the options are many! And, they actually take up a lot of the room without taking up the room, if that makes sense. Splurge on some really colorful ones that pop!
4. Rug
Textiles can do so much for an apartment upgrade because they donโt really take up too much space and the design options are endless. The cost of a rug doesnโt necessarily burn a hole in your pocket either, as you can find a nice, affordable rug at several stores.
5. Artwork
The best way, probably, to give your bedroom a facelift is through artwork. The options are endless, in the form of design, color, and shape. While artwork might be pricey, it doesnโt have to be. There are tons of options that fit the budget if you know where to look! There are tons of online sites where you can get art prints for example, such as Minted. Buy some prints, order some frames on Amazon, and you got your wall a facelift.
