Decorating on a Budget: Boy’s Bedroom


By Wiggles Pig

Sometimes designing a space you dig without digging too deeply into your pockets means making some trade offs. I was able to splurge on a few pieces for this boy’s bedroom while keeping within my budget of 2,500 KC by making smart choices elsewhere.

For example, I really wanted him to enjoy a beautiful meadow view, but the window I had in mind cost 485 KC. That’s a lot, but I knew I could compromise and still get a great look if I went with a 60 KC coat of red paint on the walls and On Deck Pirate flooring for just 150 KC.

With their cheerful primary colors, the Prairie Wood Bed and Circle Sensation Carpet gave me the playful look I was going for, but together they came to $850! Yikes! It’s a good thing I spotted these Tree Stump Side Tables for just $75 each. Tree stumps? In a boy’s room? What could be more perfect?

When I spotted the Joyful Jigsaw Coffee table with its bright primary shades, the final pieces of the puzzle started coming together. It fit perfectly with the Chunky Red Chair. And I could afford them both with one last trade off – an affordable Rattan Toy Box that works nicely in almost any setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you see, my friends, when you’re designing a room on a budget, you don’t have to limit yourselves. You CAN include a few higher end pieces as long as you’re willing to trade off for some cheaper items too.

    I think if Wiggles didn’t but the bamboo toy box, circle rug, block table, and the soccer banner out it would look better. but as it is now, it looks way to cramped and mismatched.

    I am very surprised that they put this room on as an example for decorating on a low budget. First the room is a small room and should have small furniture. You can mix and match inexpensive items but a Rattan Toy box needs a BIGGER room. The catus is a large plant should have used something smaller like a spider plant. An for the rug the person said it gotta go is right. Get rid of this rug. What where you thinking….. This room is not a very good example for an inexpensive decorated room…
