Budget-Friendly DIY Bedroom Updates

With some easy budget-friendly DIY updates, you can make your bedroom the queen of serene in a weekend or less. Learn how you can do the same in this video by Better Homes and Gardens:

Use an oil-based marker to write feel-good words on a ceramic or glass lamp base.

Freshen up old furniture with paint. Add colorful new knobs to finish the look.

Give store-bought bedding a handmade feel with DIY pillows. It’s easier than you think.

• To dress up a plain pillow, simply wrap a scarf around it and tie it in a knot.
• Stencil a rose motif onto a purchased pillowcase. The secret is to mix three shades of fabric paint to create several hues. Then paint each petal a slightly different color. The tonal variation adds a nice artistic touch.

Upholstered headboards at retail start at $600, but you can make one yourself for just $200 using simple materials. Add nail head trim for a luxe finishing touch.
