If your bedroom could use a bit of a refresh but you aren't looking to invest a ton of money into the process, don't worry, as there are so many amazing ways to make your sleep space feel nice and fresh without breaking the bank. We're sharing 20 budget-friendly decor ideas that will ensure that your bedroom feels a bit?more personalized and styled, whether you're in need of some additional decorative accents or are wondering what to do about a headboard.

DIY a Headboard

While beautiful, fabric-covered headboards can be expensive. If you're handy, it's worthwhile to make your own to save money. Use a staple gun and the fabric of your choosing to craft a stylish headboard like the green velvet one seen here. If you already have a bit of fabric left over from a prior home project, this is an excellent way to make the most of it, too.

Install a Mural

Wallpaper often costs a pretty penny, so if you love the look but can't commit to covering all four walls of your bedroom, why not opt for the next best thing—a wall mural? This black and white nature-themed mural shines behind the bed in this apartment room and is removable, too, making it ideal for renters.

Design a Stellar Storage System

If you're short on closet space, why not build a wardrobe of your own? This one was made from existing IKEA pieces, but the addition of new hardware and luxurious-looking picture frame molding makes it appear custom. Cabinets like these are also useful for tucking away games, seasonal decor, beauty products, and much more.

Paint an Arch

Looking to add some energy to your bedroom while using up extra paint??Incorporate an arch design?like this one, which will add visual interest to your sleep space. Painting one directly behind your bed creates a faux headboard effect, as seen here.

Make Your Own Art

Rather than shelling out hundreds of dollars for a high-end art piece, consider making your own! Purchase a blank canvas from the craft store and have fun experimenting with your own abstract designs; you truly can't go wrong.

Switch Out a Light Fixture

If builder-grade light fixtures are making your bedroom look bland, switch them out for something that fits your style. To save some cash in the process, take to secondhand stores and websites to source your new piece; the one shown above was a Facebook Marketplace find.

Shop Your Fabric Drawer

To give your headboard a new look without having to part with it, drape some fabric overtop. You'll feel like you've introduced a different piece into the room.

Stencil Your Wall

Give your walls a makeover with the help of some paint and stencils. This creates the effect of wallpaper yet can easily be painted over should your style change.

Turn a Stool Into a Nightstand

If you don't wish to?invest in a nightstand, note that a stool works just as wonderfully and it doesn't have to be large to be effective. This small wooden one adds a welcome pop of color to this all-white bedroom.

Brighten the Bedroom With Sconces

Sconces make a bedroom look extra elevated, but they don't need to be drilled into the wall to look great. So that you don't have to hire an electrician, opt for plug-in sconces with wires that can easily be tucked behind the bed frame.
