Tour a Main Bedroom Makeover That Cost Less Than $150

Use Elements You Already Own

To begin, I rummaged through my in-laws' barn, my parents' basement, and our own belongings to find furniture, rugs, and fabric to help create the new space. The color scheme for the room was largely inspired by an antique Oriental rug from my husband's family.

I knew the large rug would set the tone for the entire room, but I didn’t want it to make the space feel dark or heavy. So, I decided to pull out a pink shade from the rug’s highlights to paint the wall opposite the bed, and used a dark indigo for the dressing area.
