THE year is almost coming to an end, and there are changes taking place in many homes. This is because some people make it a habit to change a few things every year. For some though, this is simply a therapy. For others it is all about rewarding themselves for working hard throughout the year, while for others it is for the love of decorating. But one thing remains true for sure: that change is good.We all know that credit the crunch is still very much with us, but a few who can afford to upgrade their homes can do so without hurting their pockets. Remember, decorating depends on how deep your pockets are.Here are a few things that can help uplift in your bedroom décor:Bedroom vanitiesI grew up loving bedroom vanities for the things they represented. Most of these vanities were antique and they looked so delicate, yet they were so durable. This piece of furniture not only provides one with a privacy to sit and prepare for the day ahead but also serves as a place to sit and apply your make-up comfortably before you walk out of that door.Vanities come in all shapes, sizes and colours, depending on your taste. Some vanities can be wall attached, while others are detached. Most vanities come with a wide tabletop where one can display their buffet of makeup and accessories, drawers, a puff seat and a large mirror – without these assortments then it is not a vanity.There is no better way to give your bedroom a facelift than to reward yourself with a vanity console, just in case you didn’t have one. By adding this, your room will acquire a Victorian and classic appeal.RugsRugs add some glamour to any room; they are as important as paint on your walls. Rugs are versatile – they not only add some colour and oomph in your décor, they also help with making one’s feet  comfortable when getting out of bed, especially during the cold mornings. Flower vase Nothing soothes me like waking up to seeing a beautiful vase with adorable flowers in it. Some people have allergies with fresh flowers, but who said flowers can only be when they are fresh? The idea here is to have anything flowery in your room placed on one side of the vanity console. You can have your little flower garden in the privacy of your room and enjoy every minute of it.Bedside lamps Besides being eyes for people who love reading at night, bedside lamp gives your bedroom a glowing touch.They have a mix of vintage and contemporary feel about them. Having two bedside lamps on each side of the table, adds stylish effects to your bedroom.After all is said and done, one thing is for sure: once you are through with putting an effort into decorating your room, you will not even remember it. The room will look so elegant. Remember that how you decorate your home speaks volume about you.
