10 Dollar Saving Bedroom Ideas
by Liz Beresford
Description: Tips for decorating your bedroom on a budget.
1. If sheer curtains appeal but you can't sleep with the
moonlight and early morning sunshine streaming in, then
fit a slim blackout blind unobtrusively inside the window
frame. It won't show when its rolled up and when unfurled
will just Look as if its a dark night outside.
2. Give white bed linen a new lease of life. Buy satin ribbons
or braiding and sew one band or two a little way in from the
hems of your white pillowcases and sheets. As white bed linen
is very often cheaper, you could buy white bed linen and give
it a makeover.
3. Want a pile of throw cushions on your bed? Find remnants at
fabric stores and use them to make expensive looking cushion
covers.The wedding fabric department often has luscious silk,
satin and velvet pieces at a fraction of the usual price.
Foam cushion inners are inexpensive.
4. Sprinkle bed linen with rose or lavender water to give it a
fresh scent. Or use scented laundry waters when ironing your
bed linen. Lavender is said to help one sleep.
5. If you can't afford new curtains buy used second hand
curtains. You can lengthen them by adding a band of a
matching or contrasting fabric. Different textures also
look good. For example a cream satin band on plain cream
or white Indian cotton. This trick can also be used to
increase width.
6. Plenty of hanging space but not much else? Buy more hangers
and hang your T shirts, blouses, shirts and sweaters, and
anything else that is hang-able. Shops hang them up and so
can you!
7. Make use of under bed space by storing clothes in baskets or
boxes fitted with castors. Alternatively buy a cheap second
hand chest of drawers. With castors fitted to the drawers
they make perfect under bed storage units.
8. Buy clear plastic shoe bags and use the pockets to keep
scarves, belts, socks or any other small items. Hang in your
wardrobe or behind the door. These are also handy in the
bathroom for spare soap, washcloths, toothpaste and shampoo,
or anything else you can think of.
9. Costume jewellery is hard to keep untangled. Buy the tallest
mug tree you can find and hang your necklaces and beads on
its branches.
10. To keep your linen organized buy plastic crates of a size
to fit your linen cupboard shelves. Label them: Double Bed
Sheets, Single Sheets, Pillow Slips and so on. Your linen
will never get into a muddle again. If you have open shelves
use wicker baskets instead of plastic.
