Many master bedrooms need a remodel to update their look to be more modern. Your master bedroom can be your own little oasis on earth.

Here is how you can remodel your master bedroom for under $1000.

Begin by deciding on the look you want your master bedroom to have. Some people prefer a romantic, Old World-inspired room that creates an oasis of comfort. Others prefer a high-tech European style. Either way, here are a few tips and tools to get started.

Before you begin decorating the room, you need to paint it. Feng shui is the Chinese art of correct placement. Many people have begun decorating their homes after this methodology. When you are remodeling your master bedroom, consider the use of 2 or 3 different colors. The wall behind your bed should be a warm color such as light green, light blue or pale yellow. Dark colors in a bedroom are thought to be too harsh and are only for outdoor use. The other walls in your room should be white or a lighter shade from the wall you painted. The ceiling in your room will also be white. You can purchase a 5 gallon bucket of paint from Lowes for $25.00 for basic white. Take a look at their miss-tint section; you may be able to get pretty decent colors for a cheap rate. The total cost to re-paint your master bedroom with paint and supplies will be $150.00.

For the romantic atmosphere, you will want to surround the room with comfortable furniture that allows for a personal escape. A wicker bench is the perfect piece of furniture to place under a large window. You can purchase a wicker bench for $100.00 at Wal-mart, Lowe's and Home Depot.

As you begin redecorating your room, consider placing the bed within sight of the door, but off to the side. This goes along with the Feng shui methodology for a good nights sleep. Lighting is another key element in your master bedroom remodel. If you live in a warmer climate, you may enjoy the use of a ceiling fan with a light. Go over to Lowes and Home Depot and take a look at their ceiling fans. You can purchase a decent ceiling fan for under $100.00, but it is worth the investment to purchase a nicer one as it will add to the look and feel of your new room.

The room can also be lighted with commercial-style fixtures and sconces like amiable halogens and pharmacy styles; they are a bit more expensive, costing roughly $400.00 at Lowes. If you aren't particular savvy at electrical work, you will need to hire an electrician to install the new lights for you. The prices for an electrician can vary, but the average cost is $30.00 - $40.00 an hour, plus labor. To purchase the new lights and have them professionally installed, you are looking at a total of $600.00.

Your windows are another key element in your master bedroom. The trim around the windows should be a different color from the walls, to add accent to them. To bring light into your room, consider the use of sheer drapes instead of blinds. If you are going for a more traditional look, faux wood blinds are the way to go. Faux wood blinds cost roughly $50.00 per blind from Target. If you have 2 large windows, you are looking at a cost of about $150.00.

The final touch in your master bedroom remodel will be the simple placement of flowers on a dresser or in a corner, where it can gain adequate lighting. A few branches of dried curly willow in a simple pot will provide nice foil to an angular room. Keep the artwork in your bedroom minimal, such as one large oil painting over the bed and a few simply-matted photos in plain frames around the room.

To paint, replace the lights and blinds, and add romantic furniture to your room, the total cost will be right on $1000. You can of course cut back on the style of lighting and consider going with a cheaper light fixture if you would like to spend more on paint or decorations.

How to remodel your master bedroom for under $2000

Here are some tips to help you remodel your master bedroom for under $2000. Begin with the space. The growing trend with home remodel is to expand the space in the master bedroom. Consider putting the closets and bath on one side of the bedroom instead of spread out throughout the bedroom.

To move the closet from one side of the room to the other will cost you about $1000 for all the necessary supplies. Begin with deciding how big you would like your closets to be. Many people prefer a walk-in closet that allows for two people to share the space. Take a good look at your bedroom to see if you can do this. If you have a bathroom that is next to the window, you may have to pick the opposite side of the bedroom, though this will not provide the same amount of space to you. You can contact a professional builder to build the closet for you and it will cost right around $1500.

Here are the steps required to build a new closet:

Start by removing the carpet in the closet area. Draw an outline on the floor to where the closet will be placed. You will need to install top and bottom plates. If your master bedroom is on the basement floor, you will need to drill holes into the concrete with a masonry bit. Drill a clearance hole through the wood block and using your hammer you will tap the lag shield into the hold. Attach the top plate to the ceiling using dry wall screws. It is time to install the wall studs, measure the distance between the top and bottom plates and then cut the wall stud. You will then slide the wall stud up against the existing wall between the top and bottom plates. Repeat this process with the second wall stud and for both sides of the closet.

Your next step will be to measure, cut and install the wallboard. Once you have the wallboard ready, secure it in place with dry wall screws on both sides on the closet. The door jamb is your next step, this again needs to be properly measured and cut. This step requires the use of level to ensure that your doors are properly aligned. You can purchase closet doors for $150 from Lowes or you can measure, cut and install them yourself. Now you will finish the wall joints, be sure to sand the corners and the sides of the joints so they are smooth. After you install the new closet doors, you are ready for the finishing touches. Apply spackling to the nail holes in the molding and allow it to dry. After the spackling has dried, you can sand, prime and paint your new closet. As you can see, building a closet is quite extensive; this is why the use of a contractor may come in handy.

A fresh paint job can change the look of any room. For your master bedroom, you should consider the use of a lighter shade of paint, as darker shades have been shown to make a room uncomfortable and harder to sleep in. For a master bedroom, light blues, greens and yellows are the best paint to pick. A professional painter can complete the entire master bedroom paint job in about one day for around $450-$500. If you are on a budget, you can pick up all the needed supplies and do the entire job for $200.00, depending upon the size of your master bedroom.
Consider replacing the lighting fixture in your bedroom. You can find affordable lights at Lowes and Home Depot for less than $100.

To have a professional build you a new closet and paint your master bedroom, you are looking to spend right on $2000. If you choose to do all the work yourself and add new lighting fixtures, your total cost will be $1300; this allows you to have extra money to splurge on the paint or lighting fixtures. Keep in mind that it is nice to have at least $100 extra for "padding" in case you break a tool or you run out of paint.
