Sticking wallpaper on a section of wall, an inexpensive tip
Very trendy, wallpaper comes in a wide variety of models, colors and themes. Plain, graphic, floral, tropical, panoramic… you will inevitably find the wallpaper of your dreams among the countless references available in decoration stores.
For easier installation, Ootravaux advises you to favor non-woven wallpapers which are more solid and easier to handle. For this type of wallpaper, the prices displayed vary between 15 and 250 euros per roll (1) depending on the level of range.
But to satisfy a limited budget, traditional wallpaper whose price varies between 3 and 12 euros per roll (2) will have a similar effect, even if its installation requires a little more work.
Decorating tips: take advantage of this change of decor to do a little home staging . Review the arrangement of your furniture, decorative objects and accessories, or rearrange the space to create a different atmosphere at a lower cost!
Wallpaper: advantages, disadvantages and prices
For a new decoration at a low price, it is in your best interest to rework your lighting system. Light plays a major role in the atmosphere of an interior. Within a house or apartment, the bedroom is a somewhat separate space where the atmosphere must be cozy and soothing , unlike rooms like the kitchen or living room. It is therefore advisable to avoid ceiling lights or lampshades which diffuse central light, which is often too aggressive for this room in the house.
In a space dedicated to sleep, focus instead on the play of light and shadow by multiplying soft light points which will be a source of serenity and calm. One or two bedside lamps placed on a piece of furniture or on a nightstand are often enough to light a standard-sized bedroom.
You will easily find models starting from 3 euros for the first prices and up to 149 euros (1) for high-end bedside lamps. Prices can be much higher for designer models.
New style, new sheet set!
To rethink the decoration of your bedroom without spending too much, sometimes you just need to focus on the details. Changing your bed linen is, for example, a fairly simple decorative gesture which will not disrupt the interior design of your room, but which, visually, will give it a whole new image. As with the wallpaper, the models of bed sets (duvet cover and 2 pillowcases) are diverse and varied.
For a small budget , count on affordable prices from 10 euros. However, certain ornaments made from noble materials such as linen can cost more than 200 euros (1). This decorating tip essentially applies to an adult bedroom with a double bed. In a child’s bedroom , the decor effect will be less “wow” on a small single bed. Decorating tips for revamping a child’s bedroom: focus on decorative objects, furniture or accessories that will give style to the room.
