Cozy Bedroom on a Budget

As a kid, all I could dream about was growing up and creating the perfect small, cozy bedroom. I wanted the space to capture the warm comforting feeling of being in your childhood home but with hotel approved bedding. After my husband and I bought our first home, I started to looking for all the cozy things, but I was shocked by how downright expensive home decor can be! However, I made it happen and I’m here to share my secrets!

Cozy Bedroom Ideas for Couples

As a homemaker, I find joy in creating comforting spaces in my home for everyone; the kids, guests, myself and especially my husband and I. A couple’s bedroom should be an oasis from the busy outside world and a source of comfort. This can be a little tricky if you and your spouse have different taste. However, it is totally possible to do this! Here are a few tips for creating a cozy bedroom for couples.

• Make things functional- a visually pleasing space is great, but a space that is not only aesthetically attractive but functional is ideal. Don’t forget must haves like storage, lamps, seating, etc.
• Agree on a focal point- try to come to an agreement on an important item, such as the bed.
• Combining styles is okay- oftentimes couples have a hard time decorating together because they believe that the space must be all one style, but this isn’t true. Incorporate each other’s style as much as possible.
• Settle on a color theme- Select two neutral colors and one accent color for a pop! This will make i easy to decorate and stay on the same page.
• Pick a theme- It’s hard to move together when there isn’t a clear direction. Before decorating, pick a theme or vibe that you’re going for.
• Select artwork or photos that make you smile- A great way to make the space feel more warm is by hanging artwork. Select photos and artwork together. It’ll be a great project to bring togetherness.
• Make the room smell nice- This is one of my favorite tips! I use a wax melter and wax from my favorite local brand to create a constant flow of warm, comforting scents. My bedroom has a unique smell that makes me feel calm every time I enter it. I also use candles for aesthetic purposes.
• Don’t be afraid of texture- adding texture is one of the best ways to make a cozy space. Use curtains, blankets, rugs, and pillows to add texture.

Places to Shop for Affordable Bedroom Decor

As I said earlier, shopping for home decor can easily become a very expensive undertaking. With three kids, a mortgage and everyday life experiences, there is no way I could spend thousands on bedroom decor. So that meant I had to get creative! Finding cheap but sturdy and beautiful home decor is possible. You just have to be resourceful. I shopped at Target, Home Goods, Five Below, Ross’s, Kirkland’s, TJ Maxx, Walmart and Amazon. These are places that most of have within driving distance.

I have linked as many things as possible in my Amazon storefront. The bedside tables, touch sensitive lamps, curtain rods, curtains, makeup holders, jewelry organizers and more are from Amazon.
