The cost of everyday items for a bedroom will add up to your basic budget. Then you can add the luxuries.

The budget is by far the most important step in creating your dream bedroom. You can imagine many decorative scenarios but you must know how much each costs and then work out if you can afford to spend the money. To begin, you must determine the amount, quality, and quantity of items required for your bedroom. However, remember that although quality is often associated with higher prices, expensive items alone do not necessarily make for a better design, and that good taste and personal style do not always require a large budget. The more money you spend, the more you can do, but try not to let the budget drive the design. It is in the detail of the finishing that you see the difference between a high- and a low-budget bedroom.

Your budget consists of two elements: the purchase of products, and the cost of installation. You can further break down this latter cost into works and supplies.

The first thing is to decide how much you want to spend, and this is perhaps not as easy as you might think. If you have not taken on a project like this before, the question is: Where do you start when it comes to deciding how much you are willing to invest in the room where you sleep?

When the list is complete, examine the existing furniture and furnishings. Some of the items listed below will already exist, for example, the bed. It might be perfect for the new room’s design, but you might want to change the bedcovers to go with the new theme. Look critically at the furniture you now own: can it be repainted or restyled? Drawers, cabinet doors, and hardware can be changed to save money. Reusing some of your existing fittings will allow you to spend on other areas.
