Whether an extensive remodel, new addition or simply sprucing up your space, the changes will increase your home's value. You may need a variety of people to make it happen: electricians, plumbers, construction workers, tile layers, drywall experts and decorators. The size and scope will affect everything, especially your budget. The larger the space, the more you will spend in both labor and materials. You must also consider the quality of your materials. If your bedroom is large, you may choose lower-priced carpeting rather than natural hardwood flooring, a simple paint job rather than high-priced wallpaper, or plain window shades rather than floor to ceiling draperies.

Materials
Whatever kind of bedroom design or remodel you're undertaking will involve different materials, which means the total cost will fluctuate. If you're intending to remodel or create a whole new bedroom, you will need to take into account paying for the structural materials, as well as the interior decorations. Research more on these items so you can have a budget in mind. If you intend to just spruce up the bedroom with new furniture and linens, then you will most likely pay less than a complete remodel or addition.Interior Decorator
If you've ever thought about working with an interior decorator, some doubts might have stopped you from continuing. However, using one should be a good experience. It can give your home continuity, function, and beauty.Your decorator won't be able to create the perfect room for you unless you're able to communicate just what you want. Collect photos from magazines of rooms and furniture you like (and those you dislike), since this will give your decorator a place to start in creating a design specifically for you. Decide on a budget. Plan a project with goals and phase in purchases over a few months, or years, if necessary. Make sure you're very clear on exactly how you'll be charged, when your decorator needs deposits, how you'll be billed, what you get, and when the work should be complete. Each decorator has a different way of working and various fee structures. Even if you don't want to spend a fortune, there are ways to hire one on a tight budget. Make sure that you hire someone that has you in mind and design for your taste and budget.
