The bedroom is an oasis of peace and comfort amid the restless lives we live. This is where you become the truest version of yourself. However, it can all pass in vain if the bedroom is not organized properly. There are some misconceptions about interior design or decoration in general that it costs a lot of money to decorate a room. Which is not actually the case. In fact, you can decorate your bedroom by spending only a few thousand taka. And today we will discuss bedroom decor ideas with a budget of BDT 5000 and what you can do with it.
Lighting
Lighting can change the entire vibe of a room. From adding drama to affecting our moods, lighting can directly affect the idea of how you perceive any space, in this case, your bedroom. It gives character to your room and without it, things can feel gloomy even when everything seems to be done right. We have an excellent article on how you can efficiently improve home lighting if you are interested in that.
There are a whole host of options available in the market when it comes to lighting. Depending on the need in your bedroom, lighting should differ. For example, if you work a lot in your bedroom, ensuring proper lighting with a cool temperature becomes a necessity (e.g. white LED tube lights with a color temperature of 5k or above). On the other hand, if you want your bedroom to use only for relaxation purposes or reading, choosing the lights that produce a warmer tone is the ideal way to go (e.g. color temperature less than or equal to 3k).
Apart from that, if you want to focus on different areas of your room, you can use lamp shades. The price of these lighting systems will differ from each other for various reasons. But you can expect to find a good quality lampshade starting from BDT 500, an 18W LED tube from BDT 600, and if you want fairy lights to liven up the room, you can find that starting from BDT 250.
Curtains
Different types of curtains can have different effects on a room. They can add diversity and produce specific sensations when used properly as a design element. Other than these aspects, the curtain also plays a huge role when it comes to the functionality of your bedroom. It controls how much natural light will enter into a room through the window and impact ventilation as well. Therefore, using the right type of curtain is essential for your bedroom. That being said, there are different types of curtains starting from around BDT 200.
Bedsheet
Just like a curtain, a bedsheet can also be used as a design element and has the ability to change the entire look and feel of a room. Depending on the design and material used on a curtain, it can add vibrancy to your bedroom and can evoke certain emotions through color and design. Also, different material has a different feel to the touch. Some material can make you feel comfortable and cozy whereas some material feels harsh. Cushion covers and pillow covers also hold similar importance. This is why they need to sync with each other to create cohesion and maintain a uniform look throughout. That being said, a good double bedsheet with two pillow covers can be found at a starting price of BDT 1500.
Mirror
Not just as a looking glass, mirrors have been used as design elements for a long time. Once, mirrors were luxury items and the usage of mirrors in interior design was considered a reflection of higher status to many. Although that notion has dwindled over time, the usage of mirrors as a design element hasn’t. Clever and proper usage of mirrors in an interior setting can make things look really amazing. And speaking of bedroom decor ideas on a budget, you can get a good quality mirror starting at BDT 1000.
All the items mentioned until now can be found in any large local market, however, the New Market area, Elephant Road, and Gulshan DCC market are among the most popular places to go shopping for these items. Also, you can shop online and use Facebook to reach different vendors.
Now if we round things up, you will see that you don’t have to spend the entire BDT 5000 to give your bedroom a budget makeover. To make it simpler, here is an item by item breakdown with an estimated price list.
- Lighting system: BDT 1350 (BDT 600 for LED tube light, BDT 500 for lampshades, and BDT 250 for string light)
