How to Give Your Bedroom Furniture a Makeover

Simple changes to your bedroom furniture give your whole room a new look for a lot less than you would pay for new furniture. Whether your furniture is outdated or you're just bored, changes like a coat of paint or new drawer pulls make it look completely different. For an even greater change in the bedroom, paint the walls at the same time to complement the updated bedroom furniture. Mix and match the changes to get the desired look.

Instructions

- 1
  Paint your dressers and headboards to give them a new look. Choose a color that complements the theme and decor in the bedroom. A neutral color, like white, cream or black, makes the furniture go well with different themes if you decide to change your room later.
- 2
  Add details to the dresser drawers with stencils or pieces of wallpaper cut to fit the front of the drawer. Adhere the wallpaper with paste as you would to the wall.
- 3
  Replace the handles or pulls on the dresser and nightstands with new knobs, handles or pulls. Choose decorative handles that stand out so they become a focal point of the furniture piece.
- 4
  Reupholster your headboard if it is padded.
- 5
  Rearrange the furniture to make the bedroom look updated. Try various arrangements to find the one that works best with your space and the pieces you have.
- 6
  Replace your bedding set to make the bed look completely different. Choose a style and pattern that complements the updated furniture.
- 7
  Update the tops of your dressers and nightstands by adding decorative display pieces. Try lamps, trays, candles or a small water fountain.
