How do I redecorate an ugly bedroom on a tight budget?

Its a really dull average size bedroom with a bed and a wall cupboard. I can afford a couple of paint buckets for the walls, beds and cupboard, and a few other accessories.

If you have a comforter/quilt you really like, or something else in the room you really like, then keep it and work with the colours of it. Painting the walls/cupboard will change the whole look of the room. New hardware to update the cupboard/desk will greatly change the decor look too. Embellish your curtains with ribbon (can get great things in a dollar store) or you can take an inexpensive plain curtain and add a small band of more expensive material for a dash of colour and a whole new look. This can be done at home or by a friend or if no one you know sews, then a seamstress can do this for a small amount of money. Lamp shades can be changed with paint or material or fancy trim or just changed out for another (though around here shades are quite pricey). A brightly coloured bedside rug is nice. If you like the colour of your room, then you can add random squares of good size on the walls in a couple of other colours to brighten the look and modern it up...just be careful not to pattern them and not to add too many..just a few will work well..vary the height of them. Many times a dull room only needs different coloured pillow covers..some co ordinating organizers, flowers, new laundry/garbage bins ..small changes to brighten and spruce up a space. A great mirror can bounce the natural light around when placed properly brightening up the room..so many things you can do with little money and a drab room.

Is it okay to mix dark-wood furniture with light (white) furniture in a child's bedroom?

My son, who is 2 1/2, has a space themed room (mainly shades of blue). His bed is an espresso color, and I am looking to buy a dresser for him. I could buy a white dresser and paint the drawers blue or add space-themed decals to it, but I am not sure if it would clash with his dark-colored toddler bed? Ideas/suggestions?

Answer
Mixing and matching can definitely work, it just depends how you go about it.

I would suggest leaving color off of the furniture. Keeping it a neutral color (like white or brown), you don't have the hassle of having to repaint when you want to change color scheme / décor again. Space themed decals are great! They add to the theme, but can always be removed later.

I do suggest getting some espresso knobs that match the bed and adding those to the dresser (if it has knobs). This room mixes espresso and white rather elegantly. https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=dark+borwn+and+white+furniture+childrens+room&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.44770516,d.b2I&biw=1366&bih=599&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=o8JfUbjMF4KYqgHAzoGgDw#imgrc=dtYighXwrr_uGM%3A%3BsMQvWjruONGcoM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.home-designing.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F02%252FBrown-red-white-small-kids-room.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.home-designing.com%252F2012%252F02%252Fspace-saving-designs-for-small-kids-rooms%3B1500%3B1072

The bookshelves match the brown accents on the furniture, which really ties the décor together.

Good luck! :)
