Interior Designers Spill How To Spend $100 In Your Bedroom To Boost Happiness & Relaxation

Start with a white bed and then find a throw that screams your personality. That will set the tone for the rest of the room. Good table lights for reading are also a necessity for every bedroom. We like to scour the flea markets for these statement pieces because it's always more affordable and more eclectic. The Rose Bowl in LA is the best if you live nearby or can manage to ship your find back to your hometown!

For an easy and affordable way to revive your bedroom's design game, refresh the walls! Wallpaper has really made a comeback in the last couple of years—even renters can indulge with removable options like Chasing Paper. Paint can also really bring new life to a room. If you're feeling on the lazier side and aren't up for self-install wallpaper or painting, then swapping out your old throw pillows for new ones is also a great way to maximize impact as well.

One hundred dollars can go a long way! Start with the bed area and buy a sample can of wall paint in a beautiful soft color and paint a rectangular headboard using a wide brush to create visible brush strokes toward the edges. Need new bedside tables? Vintage, non-upholstered wooden chairs from the flea market make for a great, budget-friendly option and the backrests are great for fastening clamp lights. Paint them the same color if you can't find a matching pair. Put a tray or cork trivet on each chair to arrange your necessities and decorations.

Then invest in some air-cleaning plants such as philodendron, aloe vera, ficus, and peace lily for a natural feeling, warmth, and color. Finish it off by putting your most beautiful clothes and handbags on display using simple wire hangers.

I think tried-and-true things like candles, pillows, and plants (and if you are not a plant person, flowers) add beautiful new life to a room. I love having small bouquets going in my bedrooms, especially in spring. I think it's symbolic of the new life and season to come. Switching out throw pillows is also another great, inexpensive way to completely change the vibe of the room. And candles just create a serene and relaxing environment—which is so important in the bedroom! These days you can even change art fairly easily with great printables from Etsy.

I'm not a fan of tech in the bedroom, but it's pretty much our new reality. This $12.87 wall charger with dual USB ports and AC outlets will at least make your charging life a little simpler.

One way I would spend money in the bedroom is on a beautiful accessory tray for my bedside table. Think marble, metallic, or lacquer for a pop of color. A messy bedside table can make a space feel a bit untidy. But by having a lovely tray, items like loose change, jewelry, etc., can be confined to one place.

Another great buy is a large basket. A beautiful basket can add texture, act as storage, and bring interest to an uninteresting corner.
