Stage 3 – building materials. Next, you need to decide what building materials are needed to implement the design plan.
Stage 4 – calculation of expenses. You need to calculate upcoming expenses and reconcile them with the original budget.

To make it easier to remove the wallpaper, you should moisten it with water or soapy water using a mop. If the wallpaper still cannot be removed easily, you can treat it with hot steam using a steamer.
Removing tiles is one of the most difficult stages. First, you should remove the grout by treating the wetted surface with a sharp object; a hammer drill is best for this.
You also need to remove old renovation materials from the floor and ceiling. Stretch ceilings and linoleum are not difficult to remove, but in the case of paint, you need to work with a spatula.
Layout of necessary communications
By gating the walls, you can make a hidden electrical distribution from a central lighting point or outlet. You can make additional sockets in the same way.
To bring water into the bedroom, you need to obtain permission from the BTI and develop a wiring diagram. Next, you need to install new water pipes and other elements in the walls of the room. Similarly, additional heating points can be installed.
How to choose a color scheme
How to decorate a bedroom? An important rule for the ratio of colors in design: 60% - dominant color, 30% - additional, 10% - color accents. The choice of color is a significant factor in life and well-being. There are warm colors: red, yellow, orange. And cold ones: green, blue, purple. Black, white and gray maintain color balance. Red removes negative emotions and evokes a feeling of warmth. But use it very little, for example in accessories, as it causes irritation and controversy. Yellow lifts your spirits. It is used with windows facing north. Orange improves your mood, but too much is stressful and quickly tires you out. Green calms and helps cope with stress. Blue helps you relax, but too much makes you feel tired. Blue calms, calms, and relieves emotional stress. Purple stimulates brain function and imagination. Goes well with yellow.
If the bedroom decoration has rich and rich colors, then the furniture should be dim. Conversely, light walls are combined with contrasting, eye-catching objects.

Rough finish: Walls
For this stage, 3 types of materials are used
- The primer improves the adhesion of the material to the wall.
- Plaster helps cover all irregularities and seams.
- The putty becomes the basis for further work.
Also included in the rough finishing is the creation of plasterboard structures or additional walls between rooms.
For decorative partitions, thin sheets of plasterboard without sound insulation are used. In the second case, concrete or foam blocks coated with putty are used.
Luxurious Baroque
Simplicity and lightness in interior decoration is not always the leading principle of a beautiful bedroom renovation. Baroque is a luxurious interior style that uses rich colors, such as gilding with crimson and purple tints.
Curtains and other textile interior items are decorated with beautiful ruffles, original folds, textured cords and other decorative accessories.
Ceiling and wall primer
Primer is a layer that serves to adhere the permanent foundation to the finishing material, treat walls and ceilings, and also provides moisture insulation.
There is a primer that penetrates layers of building material, which is necessary for fragile structures. The primer can be applied in several layers.
The procedure stops when, after running the glove along the wall, there is no dust left on it. Before moving on to the next stage, you need to wait until the primer has completely dried.
Whitewash
This is the traditional and budget method that many families still use. It also has disadvantages and advantages.
Pros of whitewashing
- This is an affordable and budget method that does not require large financial costs.
- The method is quite easy to implement without recourse to the help of specialists.
- You can whitewash the ceiling in a relatively short period of time.
Cons of whitewashing
Like other options, this method has some significant disadvantages, among them we highlight the following:
This method cannot be called modern; it does not give a feeling of luxury to the room. Of course, for some styles this option will be suitable and will look quite presentable, but still, for a modern style this approach cannot be called relevant;
If you want to update the ceiling, you will have to wash off the whitewash from the ceiling, and this is a very difficult and painful task that requires a lot of time and patience.
Finish: Ceiling
Paint and whitewash are applied to the primer, and to decorate with tiles, you must first treat the surface with plaster and putty.
Suspended structures are made of plasterboard and mounted on a putty surface, after which they need to be coated with primer and paint.
Stretch ceilings are mounted using metal fasteners, and the canvas itself is stretched across the ceiling with special guns. This stage is the final step in all final finishing.
Options
Obviously, you can use all sorts of options for finishing the ceiling. Let's consider each of them separately.
Finish: Walls
Wallpaper with a pattern is glued quite simply - you need to coat the pre-cut wallpaper with glue. If the drawing assumes a complete picture, you need to lay them out in advance and adjust them to size.
Paintable wallpaper requires drying, then it can be coated with paint. Paint can also be applied to primer or plaster.
Painting the walls is done first at the joints with the floor and ceiling, at the corners, and then the main part of the wall is filled with a roller.
Finish: Floor
If the room has a heated floor system, the mats are laid out on the screeded floors and fixed with cement or glue. After this, decorative finishing is carried out with the appropriate substrate.
Linoleum, carpeting, laminate and more can be used for this. If parquet is used, it must be varnished after finishing work.
Correct arrangement of furniture
Choose any style of furniture according to your own taste. But in matters of color schemes and arrangement of objects, there are several useful recommendations:
- It is better if the furniture takes up no more than half of the free space in the room. Then you will feel freedom and space. A large amount of furniture and clutter will take up free space, creating a feeling of crampedness;
- There is no place for a double bed in a corner. Provide free access to the sleeping area on both sides;
- To store things, purchase a wardrobe. Its doors do not open, but slide apart in different directions, which saves a lot of space. Such a wardrobe becomes an additional decoration for the bedroom if you carefully think through and arrange its design;
- The color of the furniture depends on the size of the bedroom. For a small room, light shades are preferable. For a large room, choose furniture in dark colors. If the walls in the bedroom are light, you will get a great contrast;
- You should not hang a mirror opposite the bed so that sleeping people are reflected in it. Feng Shui and folk objects advise against this;
- Avoid carpeting. It has already been noted that a lot of dust accumulates in them. If the bedroom design involves a carpet, let it be small. It is easier to clean, which means you will care for it more often.
Bedroom renovation: interior in green tones Accentuating with light - design solution
Tips for choosing building materials
Smell. Materials should not have a pungent odor, as it can linger indoors for a long time. The light characteristic odor of the materials quickly disappears.
Antistatic properties. Such material properties prevent the accumulation of static electricity, which ensures comfort.
Antibacterial properties. Materials with such properties will prevent the growth of bacteria, which can have a negative impact on health.
Aesthetic qualities. This is especially important for renovating a bedroom in an apartment, since this room involves relaxation.
Strength. The materials must be durable so that they do not require frequent updating or replacement.
Classic interior style
A bedroom in a classic style is an example of a permanent design, in which soft, flowing lines are clearly visible. In the interior decoration, exclusively natural materials and compositions that are safe for humans are used.
Natural tones are preferred in the color scheme: white, sand, cream shades. The furniture frames are made in walnut or wenge color, and the design does not use ruffles, twisted facades, or other intricate patterns.
For the ceiling
Whitewashing and painting are easy to do, but require perfect leveling of the surface and updating every 2-3 years.
Drywall will help create any structure, but it can visually reduce the space of the room.
Cassette and hemmed suspended structures provide good lighting, do not require perfect alignment, but have poor noise insulation.
Wallpaper covers irregularities and does not require frequent updating, but can quickly lose its original appearance.
Stretch ceilings are especially popular because they retain their original appearance for a long time and are easy to maintain.
The tile does not require complicated maintenance, it looks interesting, but it requires difficult work during its installation.

Tricks
When choosing a ceiling design for a bedroom, you should take into account the following features of the room itself:
- Base surface material. The finishing process for concrete, brick, and wood will be different. For example, textured plaster, as a rule, is universal and fits well on any surface. But the same wooden ceiling will have to be carefully prepared for wallpapering.
- Room dimensions. In a small bedroom it is not recommended to use multi-level structures. They “eat up” precious centimeters and make the interior heavier. On the contrary, flat surfaces in a spacious room look banal and make the room boring and bulky.
- Degree of illumination. The darker the bedroom, the lighter the designs are used. The choice of color also matters. So, in very bright rooms, a cold palette gives a depressing “hospital” atmosphere. It is better to choose warm shades.
- The most difficult thing is with rooms with an attic ceiling. If the surface is sloping, you should save space. It is better to avoid multi-level structures. You can change the proportions of a room using color combinations.
Fans of unusual bedrooms will appreciate bold design moves. One of them is to choose suspended ceilings with photo printing. They become the main accent of the interior, and therefore other decorative elements should not draw attention to themselves.
Another original option is to make a mirror ceiling in the bedroom. It is extremely important to follow safety measures and trust the installation to specialists. If you don’t want to take risks, it’s better to abandon glass in favor of special mirror panels made of acrylic or polystyrene.
For walls
Vinyl or non-woven wallpaper in soft shades, 1 m wide, is most convenient to use and suitable for inexpensive bedroom renovation.
Plaster decor or photo wallpaper will be an excellent option for renovating a small bedroom and will add zest to the interior.
Style solutions
The choice of construction type and finishing technology largely determines the interior features of the room. The design of the ceilings in the bedroom depends on the style chosen for the room:
- Classic – monumental and strict. Here the choice of expressive means is limited. A suitable solution is to decorate the ceiling with one light shade. Decorations will include stucco moldings and moldings. If you want the interior to become a little pretentious, you can prefer a stretched canvas with fresco painting.
- Modern. Floral and asymmetrical patterns are welcomed in this style. In such an interior, complex plasterboard structures look appropriate - you can create multi-level systems, use curved shapes, etc. Both warm and cold shades are suitable for modernism.
- In modern styles (minimalism, hi-tech, futurism, techno, etc.) there should be nothing superfluous. Strict geometry, neutral colors, laconicism are the main rules in this decision. The ceiling is a utilitarian element that is needed to accommodate lighting fixtures. It doesn't require decoration.
- Ethnic and rustic styles (country, Provence, Japanese, Scandinavian, etc.) - emphasis on naturalness. Ceiling decoration should be natural - paper wallpaper, wood panels, fabric. Pronounced textures and natural shades are welcome.
You don't have to use just one option. For the bedroom you can choose two adjacent styles. This allows you to highlight functional areas in the room, for example, a direct sleeping area with a bed and a dressing room.
