When you hear the word “remodel,” you might be thinking of big-budget projects that take months of planning (and saving!) before they see the light of day. But what if we told you that a remodeling project for your mobile home bedroom can make your home feel Pinterest-worthy without draining your bank account?
There are a ton of ways to change the look of your bedroom without spending the big bucks. Here, we’ve put together just a few ideas to help you get started.
A Fresh Coat of Paint
This might be one of the most cost-effective ways to transform your bedroom. Whether you’re slightly changing its current shade or giving it an all-new color, a new coat of paint can go a long way in making your bedroom feel modern and updated without breaking the bank. Not only is a can of paint or two inexpensive, but it can give you a nice bang for your buck in completely changing the look of your room.
On The Wall(paper)
If a paint job sounds too messy, or if you’d rather go for a fancier look for your bedroom’s walls, wallpaper may be right for you.
Covering your walls with wallpaper can give you more options when it comes to visual style. Want to deck out your bedroom walls with a floral pattern? Or maybe you want to set up an accent wall with a complimentary color, without buying a second color of paint? Wallpaper gives you the flexibility to do all this, and more, at a variety of budget-friendly price points.
Don’t Forget the Trim
Odds are, your manufactured home’s bedroom has some kind of trim running along the lower edge of the wall. Whether you call it moulding, baseboard, or just simply “trim,” there’s a good chance it can be upgraded on a budget.
More often than not, the trim is made out of wood or Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). If this is the case in your home, then it can be remodeled with a quick coat of paint at a low cost.
Turn The Lights On!
Don’t forget—the way your bedroom is lit plays a HUGE role in how it looks!
If you’re looking for budget-friendly ways to change up that look, then consider replacing your lighting hardware. A new overhead light, floor lamp, or recessed lighting setup (if you have the know-how to install one) can show off your bedroom in a whole new light…literally! All of these options can be relatively inexpensive compared to their impact.
Even if you don’t change out your bedroom’s lighting, a simple lightbulb swap to a newer LED or smart bulb can make your bedroom feel that much more modern, not to mention more well-lit.
Fresh Linens
Now, you may not think that changing out your blankets for a fresh set counts as a remodel. However, you’d be surprised at what a new comforter in a different color can do for your bedroom!
A budget remodel is a great time to update the look of your bedspread – whether it’s just the comforter, or putting your comforter in a new duvet cover. This will make a difference that you can literally feel in your sleep—but not in your wallet!
Flex Your Green Thumb
Just because your bedroom isn’t a greenhouse doesn’t mean you can’t bring some greenery in!
The bedroom is a perfect place for a hanging plant, floor plant, or whatever fern you prefer. You don’t need much to bring some fresh life into your bedroom. A well-placed piece of greenery or two can do a LOT of heavy lifting when it comes to raising the atmosphere. Not only can it impact your mood, but it can give a more elevated, showroom-esque look without paying premium prices.
Think Big on Storage
Don’t fret if you don’t have a walk-in closet—there are still a lot of unique ways to expand how much storage you have in your bedroom.
The first thing many homeowners think of is under-the-bed storage options, like plastic tubs or garment/shoe bags that are designed to be “out of the way.” These are great to maximize how much space you’re using for storage, and can be bought at virtually any big box store at budget-friendly price points.
But don’t forget about your walls, either! With just a few tools, you can set up some magnificent floating shelves that can serve as a bookshelf, displays for family heirlooms, or even a stand for your best photographs! This helps free up space for other storage in your house while still looking elegant and classy.
These aren’t the only ways you can remodel your mobile home’s bedroom on a budget. But, hopefully with these ideas, you’re ready to get started on your bedroom facelift without emptying your wallet!
