Winter is in full swing! Whether you are experiencing the freezing temperatures of the highveld or the torrential rain in the Cape, we are all very much in hibernation season. During the winter, we may feel a little cooped up and in need of a change or a project to combat our boredom. A change is as good as a holiday, and what could be better than sprucing up your favourite winter spot in your home—your bedroom? Today, we’ll suggest a few simple bedroom upgrade ideas that will lift your spirits and do wonders for your bedroom without costing an arm and a leg.
Facelift your wardrobe doors
In your bedroom, your wardrobe is one of the most prominent features. Your wardrobe can become a stylish and striking design feature without replacing it entirely. If you already have a built-in wardrobe and are satisfied with the wardrobe internals, Fineline Wardrobe Solutions can simply replace your existing wardrobe doors with beautiful new sliding wardrobe doors. Facelifting your wardrobe is an effective and easy bedroom upgrade idea.
New sliding wardrobe doors will completely transform your bedroom; they glide open and shut quietly and save on space, so you won’t have to worry about hinged doors bumping into other furniture. Changing your wardrobe doors is also a very unintrusive installation. You don’t need to unpack your wardrobe or move furniture around. The process is straightforward; a Fineline salesman will measure your existing wardrobe while you select your door finishes. A professional installation team arrives at your home, removes the existing doors, and constructs a framework around your existing wardrobe to hold the new sliding wardrobe doors. Within half a day, you’ll have a wardrobe facelift and a great start to your bedroom upgrade.
We can manufacture our sliding doors from a variety of materials, including mirror, wood grain melamine, glass, or a combination of materials. By simply changing your wardrobe doors, you can create an entirely new look in your bedroom.
Not sure which sliding doors to go for? Here is a brief description of each:
Sliding mirror doors
Mirror doors are by far the most popular choice for wardrobe sliding doors. They will immediately make your bedroom look lighter, brighter, and more spacious, too. Having full-length mirrors is also very helpful when getting dressed, as you can easily check how you look.
Sliding decor glass doors
Our sliding decor glass doors exude modern elegance and sophistication. Decor glass doors incorporate panels of exquisite coloured glass in the colour of your choice. You can incorporate this glass in a variety of shapes, such as long rectangular panels, squares, or rectangles, and frame them with wood or aluminium.
Sliding melamine doors
Our sliding melamine doors incorporate panels of melamine, which are sturdy, durable, and available in a variety of different wood grains and solid colours. Wood grain finishes give a room a sense of warmth and coziness. Plain white melamine doors look sleek and sophisticated. Alternatively, opt for any other solid melamine hue to harmonize with the décor of your room.
Sliding combination doors
You can create a truly unique, customised design with our combination sliding door systems. We can manufacture panels using a variety of materials, such as mirrors, wood grain melamine, and décor glass, among others.
Upgrade your bedding
Your bed is the other main focal point in your bedroom. While new beds can be expensive, changing your bedding is a fresh and straightforward bedroom upgrade idea that will do wonders.
Home stores are brimming with bedding options at a variety of prices, and there are so many different colors and patterns to choose from. Consider adding a brushed cotton finish to your sheets and duvet cover now in winter, which will add extra comfort and coziness during the cold nights.
Swap out your scatter cushions
As far as bedroom upgrade ideas go, it’s difficult to beat the simple ease of swapping out your scatter cushions. In fact, we recommend having different scatter cushions in the summer and winter. This way, your bedroom will always look fresh and complement the season. Now in winter, consider scatter pillows with texture, such as knitted cushions or faux fur; they will make your bedroom feel cosier.
Want to add an extra dose of cosiness? Drape some comfy blankets and throws over your bed, too. They’ll look lovely and come in handy when relaxing in your bedroom during the day.
Create a focal point with an accent wall
When doing a simple bedroom upgrade, it’s all about making as big a splash as possible with the fewest resources. Creating an accent wall lets you completely transform your bedroom without spending much.
An accent wall, or feature wall, is an interior wall whose design differs from the other walls in the room. The accent wall’s colour can simply be a different shade in comparison to the colour of the other walls or have a different design in terms of pattern or material. There are many benefits to an accent wall; they add more colour to a room, bringing in variety and individuality. It allows you to use a bolder colour without overwhelming the room. It also creates a focal point. Looking for some colour inspiration? Here are the trending interior colours for 2024.
To create an accent wall, you can simply use bold color paint, wallpaper, or wall murals; if you have a larger budget, you could even consider stone or wood facades or even 3D tiles.
A feature wall should highlight an existing focal point within a room. In your bedroom, the wall behind your bed’s headboard is a good choice.
Consider your lighting
If you feel the season is making you feel a little dull and drab, updating your lighting will brighten things up and add to your bedroom upgrade. There are so many different options to choose from, such as hanging lights, floor lamps, and bedside lamps. If you are on a tight budget, changing a lamp shade can make your bedroom sparkle with light again.
Sprinkle in some plants
Decorating with plants is an inexpensive way to spruce up your bedroom décor. Not only is the extra greenery sure to make your room feel homier and more relaxed, but there’s plenty of room to get creative with decorative plant pots.
Don’t have a green thumb? You don’t need one! Fake plants offer the same benefits as natural plants without all the hassle. They’ll also last for years to come, even if you don’t remember to water them!
So, what are you waiting for? With these simple bedroom upgrade ideas, you can spruce up your bedroom easily and cost-effectively this winter; there is no excuse not to try them. Contact us at Fineline Wardrobe Solutions to request a quote on giving your wardrobe a sliding door facelift.
