Who says a bedroom makeover on a budget has to look… well, budget?

This loft bedroom was crying out for a bit of TLC. The young lady who lives here decided she wanted to switch from another bedroom but never got round to decorating it properly. And now she’s a little older, she wanted something grown-up. Cosy, natural tones, nothing too girly and a bit edgy.

And honestly, I love a brief like this because it’s all about getting the balance right.

We wanted to create a space that felt warm, somewhere to chill, study and relax, all without spending a fortune.

Here’s what we went for:

β€’ State of Mind on the walls, woodwork and radiator for a deeper, cocooning feel.

β€’ Industrial metallic wallpaper to add texture, contrast and a little bit of attitude.

β€’ Valspar Silken Stockings on the ceiling to soften the overall look.

β€’ Wooden trim instead of full wall panelling. We did consider panelling the lower half of the walls, but with a limited budget, we decided to find another way to add depth and character without the extra expense.

Painting the woodwork and radiator the same colour as the walls helps tie everything together, while the wallpaper and wooden trim give the room that extra interest.

The result is a grown-up loft bedroom that feels cosy, has personality and can evolve with her as she adds her own lighting and accessories.

No massive renovation or bedroom layout design. Because a budget bedroom makeover is about being clever with your choices, not compromising on the end result.

Which decorating camp are you in? πŸ‘‡

* Love decorating and can’t wait to get started
* Hate decorating but convince yourself it’ll be fine this time
* Know you hate decorating but do it anyway
* Would never even consider picking up a paintbrush

As a professional decorator in Hull, I’ve met people from every camp.

The truth is, most homeowners can decorate themselves. But between work, family life, school runs, weekends disappearing and the fear of making an expensive mistake, many people simply don’t have the time, patience or confidence to tackle larger decorating projects.

That’s where I come in.

I help homeowners across Hull and East Yorkshire transform their homes with professional decorating services, wall panelling, decorative mouldings, wallpaper installation, colour advice and interior styling ideas.

Whether you’re updating a single room, refreshing a whole house, creating a hotel-style bedroom, adding character with wall panelling or planning a full home makeover, I’m all for creating spaces that feel personal and beautifully finished.

These are just a few of my favourite decorating projects so far, and I love sharing the behind-the-scenes process, decorating tips, interior inspiration and finished room transformations.

So whether you’re looking for a decorator in Hull, decorating inspiration, home renovation ideas, interior design inspiration or you’re a fellow small business in East Yorkshire, let’s support one another.

If you’ve ever washed dishes in the bath, lived out of boxes, or discovered a β€œquick job” was anything but quick… you’ll know that home renovation is definitely not for the faint-hearted. πŸ˜…

Over the years I’ve seen plenty of unexpected surprises hidden behind walls, under floors and above ceilings. The dust, disruption and endless to-do lists are all part of the journey.

Now that most of the big renovation work is behind me, I’m in my favourite stage… making our house feel like a home.

Alongside running my decorating business and being a busy boy mum, I’ve been slowly transforming our home with projects that reflect my style: warm, earthy interiors, natural textures, wall panelling, real wood features, cosy spaces and Moroccan-inspired decor.

These are a few of my favourite home projects so far, and there are plenty more waiting to be edited and shared when life allows!

If you love home renovation, DIY projects, interior styling, room makeovers, earthy interiors, boho decor, Moroccan-inspired interiors and creating a home full of character, I’d love to have you here. 🀍
