Transform Your Omaha Bedroom With These Tips

by Nancy Heim-berg

Though it's where we spend hours relaxing and recharging nightly, the bedroom is frequently the last room to receive design focus in many homes in Omaha. This results from prioritizing spaces seen by guests, with decorating the bedroom as stylishly as possible often deferred indefinitely.

You don't have to be intimidated by redecorating this important space; small changes can have a big impact, and many can be made this weekend without outside assistance. Flex those creative muscles and get ready to make that bedroom gorgeous!

Use wallpaper in new ways

With peel-and-stick wallpaper, you can easily create and change up your bedroom's look without a big commitment. Go for urban chic with a feature wall of exposed brick, or get romantic with a different print. Since the wallpaper is removable, it's a great option if you've held off decorating because you couldn't find the perfect inspiration.

You can also give an old dresser new life or spruce up a dull nightstand with a roll of decorative contact paper. It adheres to nearly any surface and can be peeled off and repositioned if you make a mistake.

Make your own headboard

Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on an upholstered headboard, you can make your own stylish headboard for a fraction of the cost. With a trip to a craft store for supplies and a couple hours of work, you'll have a customized headboard. All you need is some MDF boards, batting, buttons, and your choice of fabric. This easy DIY headboard tutorial shows you how to create a high-end, catalog-worthy headboard on a budget.

Snazz up your bedding

To create a fresh look in your bedroom without buying new bedding, add plush pillows to give the bed oomph. According to Andrew Suvalsky, principal interior designer at ASD, a well-styled bed always has a few carefully arranged decorative pillows. Place the pillows you sleep on against the headboard, topped with accent pillows in order of height. Suvalsky recommends using pillows in accent colors that complement the room's overall color scheme to make the bed a focal point.

Create a standout mirror

Peel-and-stick tiles can transform more than just kitchen backsplashes. In mere minutes, you can use them to turn a regular bedroom mirror into an eye-catching focal point. To ensure proper spacing and the right number of tiles, first measure the area. Also, carefully plan the tile layout before adhering them, since the tiles are difficult to reposition once stuck.

Customize a rug

An inexpensive rug can be transformed into one with the appearance of an expensive, patterned rug that adds comfort underfoot in the bedroom. With stencils and chalk paint, you can upgrade a basic rug affordably.

Paint your furniture

Stencils breathe new life into bedroom furniture. Simply sand, paint, and stencil any tired piece to give it a custom, one-of-a-kind makeover. This easy DIY trick transforms old wood furniture affordably. Add knobs to complete the refreshing, stylish update.

Create some dazzling doors

Adding affordable molding can transform your plain, flat bedroom or closet doors, making them far more visually interesting. Decorating Your Small Space shows the many simple ways to achieve this easy update.

Decorate Your Omaha Home on a Budget

by Nancy Heim-berg

Many Omaha homeowners are interested in decorating according to their individual tastes while coming up with a visually appealing look. Those magazines make it seem so simple, but it can also be quite expensive. Even if your budget is limited, you can still get the look you want. You can save money by redecorating your home with these ideas.

Reuse

Before buying new furniture, bedding, and fixtures that will quickly consume your budget, take stock of what you already own. Try to repurpose items. A simple piece of furniture can be transformed with new hardware or a fresh coat of paint.

It is possible to use different types of furniture for different purposes. An unused dining table can be turned into a desk. An old sofa table can be transformed into a mobile bar by adding wheels. Or, you can recycle and revamp an old dresser.

Simple Appearances

Bigger isn't necessarily better. Without spending a lot of money, a few simple changes can have a considerable impact. One way to achieve this is to paint a feature wall or change the color scheme. The throw rugs and light fixtures can also be changed. Even the simplest of changes, like changing the lamp shade, can have a significant impact.

Pillow covers and duvets can be added to bedspreads. But what is a duvet? A duvet is similar to a pillow case for a bedspread. You can pair duvets with existing bedspreads for a unique look. You could also make your own cover if you are looking for something more customized.

Shopping on a budget

If you want to purchase some items, consider purchasing used items. You can find inexpensive décor items in thrift stores and second-hand stores. In addition to wholesalers and liquidation merchants, salvage yards can save some money. It is also important to consider other uses for items.

Be on the lookout for items that people are trying to sell. Visit flea markets and yard sales in the Omaha area, especially now that Spring is here. There are many items available for cheap on eBay. Swap meets can also provide you with what you need, while also letting you get rid of items that no longer fit your needs.

Artwork

Rather than buying expensive reprints or originals, create your own. Use your decoupage or painting skills. Display your child's artwork. You can download free artwork to print at home. Repurpose some old wooden frames. Sponging and foiling can be used to create decorative displays.

One at a Time

It's important to take things one step at a time. Don't redecorate every room at once. Consider dividing your budget into chunks for each room that you would like to redecorate. If you look at each room individually, you may find that there is some money left over for other rooms. By taking on one room at a time, you can avoid becoming overwhelmed by taking on too much all at once.

No matter how small your budget is, there are numerous options for redecorating on a budget. With redecorating, you can make huge or small changes, both of which impact the end result. It's up to you to choose an environment that best represents your tastes in your Omaha home.
