Looking to transform your bedroom on a budget? You’ve came to the right place! Here’s tried and true, affordable room decor that will transform your bedroom on a budget!
*all of these products I have purchased myself, and recommend because I genuinely love them*
Mirrors
Adding mirrors to your room is the perfect room decor to completely change the space and make it appear larger.
If you are wanting to make your room look bigger, opt for a bigger mirror! It will cost more than a smaller mirror, but will transform your space from looking small and cramped, to luxurious and open.
Mirror 1
Lindbyn mirror: £60
https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lindbyn-mirror-black-50458614/
This mirror is 100% worth the money!
You can choose black or gold, depending on your aesthetic! It’s 80cm and fits perfectly on my desk!
I chose to place it on my desk, but of course having it anywhere in the room, especially an area you want to open up and add more light to, is perfect too!
You can see from the before and after how much it adds to the area! It looks luxurious on a budget!
Mirror 2
This smaller mirror ties in perfectly with the larger black mirror, as you can see from the photo above.
The best thing about this mirror is the storage at the bottom, because you can add pops of colour and little accessories that match your aesthetic!
The mirror in the image above was purchased from B&M, and is unfortunately not on their website anymore, however these are very similar (and affordable) options:
Flowers
Flowers add a pop of colour to your room, as well as make it look more expensive. There is a huge difference aesthetically, when you add flowers to your room!
Not only are they aesthetically beneficial, they also reduce stress, boost your mood, promote better sleep, and improve air quality!
So adding flowers to your room is not only aesthetically pleasing, it is also beneficial for yourself as well!
Candles
Candles add a luxurious and calming feel to your bedroom.
They are one of the most affordable room decor pieces that make your room feel cosy and luxurious!
Whether it is a warm summer night, and you can smell fresh berries and sea salt, or a cold, autumn evening and you can smell cinnamon and gingerbread, candles add personality to your room.
Not only can they physically add to the appearance of your room, they add to the overall vibe and feeling of your room through smell.
It’s an additional treat to your senses, as they look amazing, and smell delicious. Bonus points if it’s a crackle candle that you can hear!
Lighting candles can be an act of self care, turning your bedroom into a calm and soothing space, allowing you to get into a calmer frame of mind, which could help you sleep better.
So not only do they transform the look of your room, they transform the vibe too!
Diffusers
Similar to candles, diffusers add a luxurious energy to your room.
There are tons of various different looking diffusers you can choose from, depending on your vibe and preferences! As well as that, there are loads of different scents and diffuser oils you can choose from depending on which smell you want!
Diffusers are visually pleasing, AND have a whole lot of benefits too!
- If you don’t like candles, this is a great option to have a long lasting product that makes your room smell delicious!
- Aromatherapy. Depending on which oils you choose, they can have many different benefits!
- Peppermint can unblock sinuses, lavender is calming and relaxing, eucalyptus is refreshing, spearmint aids concentration, there are MANY different oils and benefits if you want to find out more! https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/the-health-hub/natural-beauty/aromatherapy/the-many-essential-oil-benefits/
- Save you money in the long run. Because you won’t have to repurchase it like a candle, it will last for a long time, as well as the diffuser oil (as you only need a few drops).

Trinkets
If you’re wanting extra storage, but don’t want your room looking messy filled with boxes everywhere, pretty trinkets are the way to go.
Depending on the size, you can fit various things inside, whether that’s jewellery, cotton pads, lips balms, hand creams, etc.
If you usually take your jewellery off at night, and you leave it lying about, there is a risk of losing it, as well as making your room look messy and cluttered.
Trinkets solve that problem. They make your room look pretty, as well as being a storage solution for little bits and pieces in your room.
They are affordable and pretty, making your room feel more expensive and organised!
Sunset lamp
Sunset lamps have been viral on TikTok, and I am here for the hype.
They make your room so cosy and add an ambiance that makes you never want to leave your room.
They are affordable room decor that can transform your room.
You can get sunset lamps that are different colours which can be changed by a controller. This means you can choose between different coloured lights.
Depending on the time of day or your mood, there will be an option for it.
Benefits of different coloured lights:
- Red light. Red light is the best at night, because it improves your sleep quality and duration of your sleep. This is because the red light increases the production of melatonin in the brain, which helps regulate our circadian rhythm.
- Blue light. This can be best during the day as it can make us feel more alert, and improves performance and attention.
- Green light. Green light can actually ease symptoms of a migraine!
- Pink light. Pink is said to have a calming effect on the brain.
- Yellow light. Yellow light makes you feel warm and relaxed, as well as being a happy colour in general.
- Whatever your favourite colour is, there are no rules, you can have whatever light colour you want at any time of the day if it makes you happy!
Lighting
Lighting can change everything about a room.
That’s why when I purchased a new bedside lamp, as well as overhead ceiling lamp, it changed the game.
Bedside lamp: £17 from IKEA
Ceiling lamp: £25 from IKEA
The lines in the glass of the lamp makes pretty lines on the walls and ceiling when the light is turned on, which is so different and unique!
The gold bottom of the lamp makes it look more luxurious and expensive!
I am usually not a fan of having the big light on in my room, however I’ll make an exception for this one!!
