Remodeling Tricks For Your Old Bedroom

By Alix Montoya

Are you thinking of getting a new look for your old bedroom? If you are, there are simple tricks and techniques available out there which you can use give your room a new lease on life. Here are some of them.

Try to start out on the small stuff like the choice of fabrics, textures and colors. You can easily replace or change any of these without too much effort. Try getting new pillows for your bed and a new bed cover. Change the drapes to create a new atmosphere inside the room. Try to rearrange, or replace completely the pictures in the frames. Place them all in one wall and put them in different frames instead of sticking to one kind. You'll find it looking great in no time.

Even the furniture that you have now can make a huge difference inside your room. If you're planning to get a new wallpaper, re-paint your furniture to match the new colors. If they're built solidly into the room's main frame, you can just strip them of their color and paint away. A popular look is Shabby Chic. Sand your newly painted furniture to make it look antique et voila, you have a new look for old furniture.

Your flooring is also very important. Although completely unheard of, you can try polished concrete inside your bedroom to give it a more sophisticated and modern feel. Hardwood floors give a country touch to any room, while carpeting is for a warm atmosphere. The choice in floor type is very important in any design job and you'll be surprised at how much difference it could make.

You can find more ideas on remodeling jobs for your bedroom with a quick search in the Internet. But no matter what design you stick with for your bedroom, you have to make it as comfortable as you can. Remember that you are going to spend a lot of your relaxing hours here. - 15252
