The bedroom is the one place where we need to feel happy and tranquil. That’s why color and updated decor are important — outdated decor can lead to stress and a sense of needing to do more. For $500 you can update your entire bedroom space in several modern and dapper ways.
Earl gray
One of the most trendsetting colors for bedrooms is gray — it is relaxing and exudes modern elegance. This look combines a stylish and sleek gray with white and cream-colored accents. Textured duvet covers for the bed next to bold black nightstands make a definite statement. Add black-and-white canvas art to bring the look together.
Feminine chic
Every girl dreams of a modern bedroom with a little touch of vintage fashion. Well, this theme is a dream come true. It revolves around framed vintage fashion sketches and a beautiful tufted ivory headboard — ultimate femininity. Keep to a subtle pearly white for walls and smart ivory accents.
Down to earth
For the modern environmentalist, earth tones will always be timeless. Start by painting your walls a toned down lime green. Invest in a birch veneer low-sitting bed frame and similar accent furniture and decor. For the artistic element, I suggest an abstract floral piece that has underlying green and white tones — the abstract element gives a contemporary feel.
Daydream
This theme is for the woman who uses her room to read, dream and imagine. The centerpiece of this bedroom would be a luxurious light-blue chaise with a reading light above. For the bed, add a light gray and white-striped duvet cover. Don’t forget a faux sheepskin rug to sink your toes into every morning and French-styled candles to help you fall into your dreams.
Francais
This modern theme has strong European antique touches. The big investment with this theme will be replacing your floors with white wooden laminate flooring. For nightstands, I suggest long pine tables — put one on each side of your bed. Top the tables with a few vintage ceramic busts. For your bed comforter, opt for a plush white duvet.
