I'm sick of my bedroom looking like a storage area. I really want a space where I can relax, either in bed or on furniture. My bedroom is certainly large enough to have at least two comfortable, separate spaces. I want sophistication and hidden storage. Oh yeah, did I mention I need it to be cheep? I'm going to give myself an initial budget of $200. I won't be able to do it all at once, but I'll keep track of my budget on here! My goal is to get as much furniture/decor items secondhand or on sale as possible. I already have a lot of what I need, so, that's a bonus. First thing is going to be paint and re-arranging the furniture. So, here's a quick sketch of what I have in mind (bear in mind that the drawings are not to scale...for example, the room is square! But, you get the jist of it!):
I like the accent wall to the right of the room. I'm going with greys on the walls because it's a classic color that goes with just about any decor. I really like the idea of a grey and pink chevron rug...I hope I can find one. Of course, I could always make one if I can't find any! To separate the spaces, I originally had the idea to put a folding screen between them, but decided on a cube shelving unit for the storage.
I already have a bed, desk, hope chest, bedside tables, a couch, and a bookshelf, so I don't think I'll have to spend to much on the furniture. I bet I can get a good coffee table second hand! I will post before pics eventually, but I want to wait until after stage one so you can compare!
