There are probably a lot more
than 5 things to consider when redesigning your bedroom, but the 5 listed here
are perhaps the most obvious ones.
Budget – This is a really good place to start because everyone will
be working under the restraints of their own budget. The size of your budget
will inevitably dictate the scale of your redesign. If it’s something you have
been planning for a while, then you may have been putting some money aside each
month, which will really help when you get started. If you have decided on a
whim that you simply must redesign, then your budget may be smaller and the
amount you can achieve likewise. It might be worth pricing up all the things you
would like to do beforehand and set your targets accordingly.
Time and Preparation – This could be a redesign that has no
deadline attached to it and therefore you can take your time and do a little
bit whenever you want. However, it might be that your project is in preparation
for a special event, in which case you have a definitive completion date to
meet. If this is the case, then preparation is crucial! What equipment and
materials will you need to get the job done quickly? Knowing exactly what you
need, will make the process much smoother, so work out what tools, paints,
wallpapers etc, you will need ahead of time. Making last minutes decisions
about colours and accessories could lead to disaster, so manage your time
carefully.
Design Plans – This should be part and parcel of the preparation
phase but it’s an element that needs attention. Will your theme be modern,
traditional, minimalist or something completely unique? This will dictate the
furniture you use, the lighting, the colours and the accessories. The more
prepared you are, the easier the job will seem when you start.
Recycling and Reusing – If you are on a tight budget or you just
don’t like throwing old things away, with careful planning, you may well be
able to recycle things you have used before into your new scheme. Sometimes a
quick paint job and a furniture reshuffle is as good as a complete overhaul! Painting
existing furniture is another way to save money and yet still make changes. If
you only have a few pounds spare, it’s amazing how a handful of new accessories
can transform an old bedroom.
Storage – It’s possible that your bedroom itself doesn’t actually
need a major redesign; it might simply be a case of improving your storage
solution. Perhaps you have an ancient, bulky, freestanding wardrobe in a
corner. The wardrobe itself seems to take up half the room and the space inside
it has long since been filled. It could be time to consider installing fitted
wardrobes along one wall, with sliding doors to save even more space with all
that extra storage room inside.
