Important Tips for Preparing for Room Renovation

1. Planning and Budgeting

Any renovation, big or small, requires a financial foundation. In other words, you should know how much you can and want to spend.

This makes all the difference in choosing materials and renovation profile (full or partial). The budget will also help you understand whether it's possible to order the work or if you'll be managing the process yourself. Create a table with detailed renovation expenses, including everything you want to change, from floor to ceiling.

2. Room Style

The second important tip is defining the decorative style. It will guide your choices and prevent confusion among many options on the market.

A few decorative styles can delight you. One of the most popular is modern, characterized by neutral colors, functional furniture, and clean design. Even within the modern style, you can choose a minimalist approach based on the concept of 'less is more'. Modern style also includes Scandinavian, where natural lighting, light woods, and the use of white color prevail. Another trendy style worth mentioning is industrial. In this decorative style, rustic materials such as brick, treated wood, and exposed concrete are symbolic.

In contrast to modern style is classic. Here elegance and sophistication are the main elements, but with a more complex and ornate design. Furniture may include details such as tufted upholstery, for example.

Another option for bedroom decor is rustic or country style. This style features raw wood, earthy tones, and floral prints.

3. Transform Furniture

Tired of bedroom furniture? Know that you don't have to buy everything new. You can refresh existing furniture in simple ways. One of them is painting. Choose a color that matches the room style and make changes. But remember, before painting, you must sand and clean the furniture well.

Another way to refresh furniture is using a coating method. The tip here is to use vinyl decals to change the color and texture of furniture. There are other popular methods, such as patina and decoupage, which work especially well for rustic style.

When renovating furniture, it's also worth replacing cabinet handles with more modern models or those that better suit your decorative vision.

4. Change Bedding

Bedding is a fundamental part of room decoration. It brings comfort and beauty to the interior. For modern and minimalist rooms, the tip is investing in bedding with neutral colors such as white, black, and gray.

The most youthful might dare to add a bit of color to bedding and still use geometric prints, for example. Classically decorated rooms look great with bedding made from noble fabrics such as silk, velvet, or brocade.

To complete the bed setup, use pillows, pillowcases, and blankets.

5. Change Lighting

Any good project always considers lighting. It is the cherry on top in any setting, especially in rooms where light contributes to a greater sense of comfort and warmth. For this tip, invest in warm yellow and warm light sources. In addition to primary lighting, you can add other light points in the room such as pendant lights near the bed, table lamps (easy installation), and ceiling spotlights.

Another good option is LED strips. Cheap and easy to install, LED lights don't require destruction or professional staff, making everything much simpler.
