Bedroom Transformation

When we moved into this house the bedroom was very old lady looking, it has light rose pink walls with a flowered boarder around the middle of the walls (which wasn't even straight), loads of holes in the walls and the whole room was a general botch job. It was hideous.

We wanted to decorate the room but we didn't have much to spend and so we had to find ways of transforming the room on a budget. We kept the same furniture and bedcovers then we worked with the colour themes we already had. We painted the walls a crisp white to match the white wardrobes and make up table, we wanted to keep the grey bedcovers so we incorporated the colour into the room with a new rug and silver shelves then we added copper accents to make everything feel warmer and more on trend. 

When you are on a budget it is important to utilise the items you already have and do a bit of DIY decor. We painted existing items such as my make up table mirror with copper paint and we vamped up some cheap photo frames with the same copper paint and put printed movie quotes inside them. 

The only new things we bought are.... (Click to purchase)

. Lampshade

. Rug

. White Storage Boxes

. Copper Acrylic Paint (Copper only available in store)

. Silver Shelves

. Frames

. Washing Baskets

We also saved money by using a large tub of white paint that we already had but white paint is very cheap anyway and can be bought from any DIY store and most home stores. 

All together we only spent: £59.45

And something for the boyfriend, a quote he likes from Guardians Of The Galaxy

"Oh, she has no idea. If I had a blacklight, this would look like a Jackson Pollock painting"

I am really happy with how it turned out and I am thrilled we managed to do it for such little money. I think that the copper adds some much needed warmth and the quote frames add a good amount of personality into the space. Before, the room was a dumping ground for junk, we slept there and closed the door when we had guests so people wouldn't see how horrible it was. Now, it is a room that we like to spend time in and we can have the door open all the time. 

I hope you guys love it as much as I do and can get some ideas for your own budget transformations!
