If your present headboard looks too bulky for this arrangement, replace it with a salvaged iron gate or a shorter upholstered panel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghut44tIXvtmbWsCbZr3vGhh2X8pD2m0N4x1BGKza3EodzFA3T6QX8Z_m80zR8uD_RJNCu1h1VICcg8apwbYZwnQj9tSfnjA1dmLShUsLme8m17bxXfvNeyeczhrqR4RYTNTLbr7FfIPpP/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Cheap-Bedroom-Update-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Add Pattern to a Select Spot : </b>Try paneling a single wall or one section of a wall with a favorite wallpaper or stencil. It's a sure fire way to call attention to a seating area or to add pattern without the expense of papering an entire room or taking the time to stencil an entire room.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhphHj0eZQ_8dXsQXjy3MB5KdJNy9IF5fTP40dRTCOdNMp70t9IOqPe8Worz1P6QG2tem20T0z1x7kd9d3DC4fb8AE-P8bgK_bbG_A686iRvaYCfy6I21ckmJHZLJVdvHB45J5B5ApNy0eS/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Cheap-Bedroom-Update-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Switch Out Accent Pillows : </b>Accent pillows let you quickly alter the personality of a room and shift the balance of color. They're especially powerful used in a bedroom because the bed is a natural focal point. Pillows can update a room instantly by adding volume, pattern, texture, color, and personality.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here, a subtle backdrop of cream and blue is brought into intense focus with a collection of lively pillows. Raspberry and sky-blue accent pillows pull the wall color and accent color together perfectly. Bold striped neckroll pillows add variety and interest to the grouping.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH0WQnSFpK1a2vBEl7bPDMALIP4oWqjQnWb8hV0nzPDEXVhczim4IcG1_YKYlOXUwgzvAhw0UQkPtl3_kdXzTNFzC6GXDc6MdSbwEOUBA0d1WUjyWbEMoylBNm8YhUDZEm91cApzm751iX/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Cheap-Bedroom-Update-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Suitcase Side Table : </b>For a dose of quirky charm, create a bedside table from vintage suitcases. Search flea markets and estate sales for three suitcases in graduated sizes. Measure and cut a base from plywood to accommodate your largest case. Screw wooden furniture legs onto the base and paint. When dry, stack the suitcases on top. Use the suitcases to store off-season clothing and accessories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMdJW3JA-Kmo8ekYm-eZ_bgh9zMI6NmmUB_QTJ7pkmBxIOSc1fNGzdJyeBsV5BXruLhLkpiYHdYiseGz8p0_oTZ2F23FmQ82qFCkJRFMI6ES86ssbDWodSJ1VtbuzmKRscWCfjm9eGGpyA/s1600/2014-Tips-for-Cheap-Bedroom-Update-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Easy Upholstered Headboard : </b>A few tricks make this stunning DIY headboard. The simple square shape makes the upholstery job easy.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Expand your sleeping space with these smart small bedroom decorating ideas that will help you maximize your space and make use of every inch.<br /><br /> Before you start your bedroom decorating tasks, examine the room (bare, if possible). Note the placement of doors and windows, as well as the room's dimensions. Determine how you want to arrange the furniture, which will help you lay out the rhythm of the room's decorative elements later on. In a small bedroom, you might need to be especially creative when arranging furniture. In this bedroom, placing the bed in front of windows makes it easier to maneuver around the space.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4FwOp-nuooOu5Plw2bcw4gtQIuWcr3Mj1-9AW-ijJzWTkDqISplFhpSUGAjEaIOfZsH8MIFxQJ5M9crwp4-PEkKXwwfV6coug53QDF3-XEv25Io9Hjhw2AliKBMPuSs5I98bc7OxPZXc/s1600/2014-Clever-Solutions-Small-Bedroom-Decorating.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /></div><b>Choosing Furniture for a Small Bedroom : </b> Enlarge Image Scale is the most important thing to consider when selecting furniture for a small bedroom. "Open" furniture, such as an iron bed frame or a sleek nightstand that's open below the tabletop, will help the room feel light and airy.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAoqq-x9r42Pyjr3n_axdxKK92p43gzxtZL1fR57MBLnolqYwwJ96wqrln60cBGgj-40zjIGh0yepb3Aaa6y6hx0r0Tg5l98CEhSoLMoTHaF24p6oG3ZHSp_Jw2o0D6RtRK4O-cJbHyT4/s1600/2014-Clever-Solutions-Small-Bedroom-Decorating-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /></div><b>Double Duty for Small Bedrooms : </b>Eliminate the need for extras in a small bedroom by selecting items that can do double duty. Consider using a short chest of drawers as both a nightstand and dresser. A bench with a lift-top can stow away extra linens and provide bedroom seating. The nightstand in this bedroom is a DIY nesting table: a smaller cube slips under the taller table and can be pulled out for an extra tabletop surface as needed.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJPLKbg4hkSK8r7yTs2i-VJJn5RkvMbirZz3bBzcqZMIabmp4-fp1VBYVMW4A_hqmDzdDNs89tapgDJMOxwCR481c0nd-fuq-nxFjLWJ5r4UegVd3qmKFNr4IUSzOEy9IwJqibma1Sw70/s1600/2014-Clever-Solutions-Small-Bedroom-Decorating-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><b>Decorating a Small Bedroom : </b> Enlarge Image Once you know how you are going to arrange your bedroom, determine where you want to place color, texture, and other decorative elements. Using lighter colors on the wall will make the room feel lighter. Rather than using rich colors to bring interest to walls, consider wainscoting or beaded board, which will give the walls dimension.<br /><br /><br /><b>Colors for Small Bedrooms : </b> Enlarge Image Whether you decide on a monochromatic color scheme or a multicolor palette, repeating colors is key in a small bedroom. Doing so will create visual rhythm and draw the eye around the room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UUFviqEZrE_Lq0ZKm7wfm2K2xzUGsL5b4zrdKveyTs9vdmrocGuVlW7BfkzotojGm7tA9GTUGjD-CQcUD3H4oGn7SfUAh64QCuUl36O5Ak-0AUya_NPLeI8mQH30pF2fEkLa64a84Kg/s1600/2014-Clever-Solutions-Small-Bedroom-Decorating-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /></div>In this bedroom, a monochromatic palette of neuturals comes alive, thanks to variations in tones and intensities. The ocher pattern on the pillows reads as a color but is simply a more saturated version of the creamy linens on the bed and the wood tones used elsewhere in the room. A serene shade of lavender on the pillows and throw add color without disrupting the bedroom's relaxing vibe.<br /><b><br /></b><b>Texture Tips : </b>In a small bedroom where large furniture and a wild use of pattern would dwarf the space, decorate with texture. Mix smooth surfaces with nubby fabrics and woven window treatments. Shiny surfaces will also illuminate the bedroom. Keep in mind that texture is tactile, but also visual. Vary textures in the things you will touch, such as the bed linens, and the things you will only look at, such as the light fixtures. The beaded light fixture in the bedroom shown above serves as a visual representation of texture, while the linens are a smooth respite.<br /><br /></div>
