1. Home Reno Series: Minimalist Bedroom on a Budget

2. Create an Oasis
Your bedroom should be an oasis within your home —a calm,
refreshing space where you can easily unwind and relax at the end of
every day.
For some, this haven comes in the form of a clean and simple design.
Fortunately, a minimalist bedroom makeover doesn't have to break the
bank.
Browse through these gorgeous minimalist styles for bedroom
remodeling ideas on a budget that will help you achieve the perfect
look.

3. Classic Contrast
One way to create a spare look in the bedroom is
with the stark, classic contrast of a black and
white color palette. Black statement furniture or
accent items add a sophisticated focal point that
anchor the room, while white details feel fresh.
This dramatic color scheme instantly lends
elegance to any space.

4. Make a Statement
Start with clean white walls and then add a few pieces of black furniture,
like a dresser, bureau, or shelving unit.Top the bed with a white
comforter and black and white throw pillows in a bold, graphic print.
Make a statement by adding an all-black or black-accented headboard
with sharp lines and no frills.
Complete the look with smaller accents like picture frames, jewelry
holders or flower vases in an elegant gold, or choose something bright
for a little pop of color. For a warmer spin on this look, paint an accent
wall in a subdued hue.

5. Minimalist Metal
For a different take on minimalism, try modern
wooden furniture with metal hairpin legs.
Maintain this look for every major piece of
furniture, including your bed, dresser, and end
tables.
Choose lamp bases, picture frames, and other
accents in white or in the same metal as your
furniture legs for a clean, cohesive look.

6. Kiss Clutter Goodbye
An airy, open space helps achieve a
minimalist look, so you'll want to
keep clutter to a minimum. Utilize a
simple platform bed with built-in
drawers and consider adding an
upholstered storage bench at the
end of the bed or underneath a
window.
A row of canvas storage boxes or
woven storage baskets along the top
shelf of a closet can also work
wonders for keeping clutter at bay.

7. Shelve Selectively
Save your stuffed bookshelves for your home office, library,
or reading room. In a minimalist bedroom, adorn your
shelves with a few of your favorite reads and then add other
well-chosen details that reflect your personality and
interests.
Part of eschewing clutter in your bedroom means you'll rely
on negative space as an element of your design aesthetic.

8. Perfect Plants
When it comes to bedroom plants, flora that's simple rather
than showy adds just the right minimalist touch. Opt for
more spare-looking plants like succulents, cactus, aloe,
snake plants, and bamboo.
Select flower vases and plant pots made of the same
material and color or in varying shades of the same color
family for a modern twist.

9. Treat Windows Right
As part of your minimalist bedroom aesthetic, your
window treatments shouldn't make a huge
statement or be the focal point of your space.
Choose sheer curtains in a light or neutral color for
a clean effect.
If you prefer the light-blocking function of drapes,
go for solid colored over patterned, and keep
sashes or tie-backs as simple as possible.

10. Understated Flooring
The flooring of your bedroom is an important
element in completing your minimalist look.
Compliment a black-and-white color scheme with
gray tile or a natural wood flooring in a light color.
Use natural, knotted wood flooring as the perfect
stage for an all-white room, and then add an area
rug in a neutral tone.
