Redecorating Your Master Bedroom on a Budget

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Who says you need a hefty bank account to transform your master bedroom into a serene sanctuary? Not us! 🏡💫

Let's ditch that college dorm vibe and create a space that feels like a peaceful escape from the chaos outside. The best part? You can do it without spending ages on it - just a few weekends!

First things first - picture your dream bedroom. Is it a peaceful retreat for some 'me-time' or a cosy spot where you and your little ones snuggle up for stories and giggles?

Choosing the perfect paint colour sets the vibe for everything else!

Remember, vibrant but not blinding colours work wonders - it's all about that colour intensity.🎨

Now, let's talk colour schemes! Once you've picked that main colour, build a scheme around it. Consider complementary combos (think bold orange with a soothing blue) or stick to shades within the same colour for a monochromatic look.

Time to jazz it up! Curtains, bedding, a couple of rugs - these elements can totally transform the feel of your room. Plus, they add that much-needed texture and charm.

And don't forget the small table and chairs! Perfect for a cosy corner to sip your morning cuppa. And when it comes to art, think beyond paintings and photos. How about some cool three-dimensional pieces to add that extra flair?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
