So you can't afford luxury bedding that costs hundreds of dollars right now. So what? Money should never stop you from designing a bedroom that is warm, attractive, and inviting. If you can't kick of your shoes and relax in this room of your home, then there is no use even coming home at the end of a long day!

The following tips will guide you to purchasing low cost bedding that will compliment your bedroom and welcome you between the sheets every night.

Plain but not Boring: It's easy to walk through a discount store or browse through a discount website and think that the simple and cheap options are boring. On their own they may not have much appeal, but when you get creative and combine them in interesting ways you will see your bed transform into the cozy corner of the house you really desire.

Try combining that solid black comforter with bright pink pillow cases and some throw pillows with an interesting black and pink pattern. You can use very basic, low cost pieces with plain solid colors and combine them with reasonably priced accent pieces that offer up some interesting pattern.

To make this work you have to combine different patterns and colors that are not typically placed next to one another. This adds some surprise and personality into the room.

Focal Point: There is always the option of paying for one higher priced item that will be the focal point of your bedroom and then purchasing very cheap accent items to surround this one piece. For instance, you may pay a decent price for a nice quilt or comforter with lots of intricate details and rich color, and then purchase cheap sheets, pillowcases, bed skirts, and other items.

These other items can be basic solid colors that play up the colors in the accent piece.

Ditch Retail: When you are decorating a bed on a budget, you should never pay full retail price for anything! You may be quite amazed at the high quality items that you can find on sale, both through local stores and online.

Shopping sales may take a little more time as you have to locate them and potentially wait until you find the right items at the right place, but this is worth the hassle if you want to purchase that one perfect focal piece to set off the entire room.

When you hit the right sales and the right websites, even luxury bedding made from the best of materials can be reduced to rather affordable prices! Some may be downright cheap but offer all the quality and luxury you could ever want.

Remember, your bed is just one part of your overall bedroom. You can always use the decorations on the walls, dresser, and even rugs on the floor to add interest to the cheap blankets and sheets that may be on your bed. Use everything in the room to compliment and play off one another, and you will be quite shocked at how nice even the cheapest blanket and pillowcases can look!
