Thrift store finds, DIY how-to’s, and repurposed treasures are making big headlines these days in the design world, and it’s easier than ever to create a breathtaking space without the expensive aid of a professional. These romantic bedroom decor ideas on a budget feature everything from classic estate furnishings to uniquely trendy implements (who would have thought antique doorknobs could make such fantastic necklace hangers?), and are deceptively simple to curate.

Now is the perfect time to reassess that tired old vanity, plain bedside table, and blank wall space with these ingenious–and unapologetically romantic–ideas. From flower garlands to gilded mirrors, and even your own constellation of hanging lights: you’ll be basking in your own poetic abode in no time.
