1. Factors that Affect the Cost of Your Bedroom Renovation
There are several things that will affect the cost that you pay for your bedroom renovation. These include:
Labour:
This is probably the biggest factor that will determine how much you will end up paying. If you do the work yourself, then you will pay much less than if you hire professionals to do it.
If you are not used to doing do-it-yourself projects and are afraid that you might not do a good job, then you could consider doing a combination of hiring a professional to do the more difficult tasks such as installing flooring and you could do the simpler ones such as painting.
Quality of Materials:
There is a wide range of prices for things like beds, futons, dressers, and accessories. You need to decide whether you want to spend as little as possible or invest in higher quality pieces that will last longer.
A good rule of thumb is to choose neutral colours and classic styles for things like your flooring and window treatments that are more expensive to install, and invest in higher quality materials so that they will last for years. You can spend less on your accessories like pillows and bedding that you can change after a few years if you get tired of them and want a fresh look.
Size of Your Room:
A smaller bedroom is going to cost much less to renovate than a larger one. More square footage means that you have to purchase more flooring, paint, and furnishings to complete the project. It will also take longer to do, so your labour costs will go up.

2. Total Cost: $5,000 - $50,000 CDN
An average bedroom renovation will cost anywhere from $5,000 CDN for a simple "cosmetic" renovation of a smaller room to $50,000 CDN or more to do a thorough, complex renovation such as an attic, basement or garage conversion into a bedroom. Conversions cost more because you may need to install insulation, drywall, windows, doors, molding, or put up dividing walls.
3. Flooring: $250 - $9,000 CDN
Replacing flooring can be expensive depending on the type that you want. A new hardwood floor will be your most expensive option followed by a ceramic tile. If you want the look of hardwood without the huge pricetag, then laminate is a good option.
Carpeting is a great, less expensive option for your bedroom and it is much warmer on your feet. If your current flooring is in good shape and you want to just give it a fresh look, you could purchase an area rug.
Purchasing an area rug is a great, inexpensive way to spruce up a boring bedroom floor
4. Paint: $300 - $800 CDN
Painting your bedroom walls is a relatively inexpensive part of your renovation and it can give you a great fresh look. A bedroom is a low impact area, so you could use a flat or matte paint that would cost you less.
Remember to fill in any holes in your walls and prime them before you paint. You also need to include the cost of paint brushes and tape in your estimate. As well, don't forget about giving the ceiling a coat of paint too! An accent wall done in a bold colour can also give you a dramatic look without costing you too much.
5. Window Treatments: $45 - $1,200 CDN
The cost of your window treatments will vary depending on the type of covering you choose, the size of your window, the shape of your windows, and if you want them to be motorized. You can choose from:
If you get them professionally installed (which is a good idea, especially if you opt for more expensive treatments), you can expect to pay anywhere from $145 to $500 for installation on each window.
It's probably best to have a professional install your window treatments
6. Beds: $500 - $2,000+ CDN
Your bed is one of your most important purchases. You want to make sure that you get one that is going to give you a good night's sleep. The price you pay for your bed will depend on the type, size, and quality that you choose.
A foam mattress will be your cheapest option, but it will not be very comfortable nor will it last long. Memory foam mattresses cost more, but they can give you an incredibly comfortable sleep.
A great way to save money on a bed purchase for your bedroom renovation, especially for small spaces, is to invest in a quality futon. A futon is a multi-purpose piece of furniture. You can use it as a seating area during the day and then easily convert it to a comfortable bed at night.
Quality futons are just as comfortable as a bed. A futon will also give your more floor space to move around during the day which is another wonderful feature, especially if you have a smaller bedroom.
A futon is a great, multi-purpose comfortable alternative to a bed
7. Dressers: $400 - $2,000 CDN
If you are short on closet space, then a dresser is a great investment. The price you pay will depend on the size and quality of dresser that you purchase. Do some research online to find the best deals available. You might also want to invest in a nightstand or two. These can range anywhere from $50 - $500 CDN.
8. Lighting: $50 - $200
If the lighting is poor in your bedroom, or if you like to read before you go to bed, then a bedroom lamp will be a great addition to your bedroom renovation. Instead of purchasing new, take a look in thrift stores or online markets like Facebook marketplace. You might find a great retro chandelier or lamps for much less than buying new.
