Finally Ready To Revamp Your Room’s Decor with Harry Potter Bedroom Decor Ideas Under $100!!!
My young bro is into Harry Potter. He had been urging for a bedroom makeover for long. What better than a Harry Potter bedroom decor for fans like him? I was slightly on the fence. However, I found several vintage decor stuffs that I could seamlessly use for the decor.
I realized harry potter bedroom decor carries well into a spooky season. But it also complements Christmas decor equally. I bet you have at least 1 Harry Potter fan in your household. This easy and affordable Harry Potter bedroom decor guide will help you gift them the treat of a lifetime.
Props, I couldn’t ignore
I found that harry potter bedroom decor is all about selecting the right props. Here are some of the things that I sorted for my decor idea:
Floating candles
Remember the Philosopher’s Stone. We saw the floating candles at the dinner table there for the first time. What could be better than this decor idea? It is one of the characteristic props that define a Harry Potter bedroom.
If you think deeply, making the candle scene in the bedroom was not rocket science. I first gathered numerous battery-operated candles. I roped them into fishing lines (transparent strings) and hung them from clear command hooks. For the most part, the hook and strings were not visible.
Try bedroom wall decor that doesn’t directly reflect any light on the strings. That way, they’d never be visible.
After all, syncing each candle into hooks and strings was a tedious job. But that’s what got the groove inti the decor. In addition, I ensured that my brother could turn the candles on and off with a remote. The remote is his magic wand.
Beddings
In this project, bedding plays a significant role. The things you use for your bedding do not matter here. However, choosing a color palette that complements the whimsical Harry Potter bedroom decor look is crucial. The same goes for master bedroom decor, too.
So, I had first to check out what I already had in my bedroom. There was a unique rug that had a patchwork of different colors. However, the bright color scheme did not fit the Harry Potter bedroom decor well.
The same could also happen with you. Try to camouflage it with something else when you find something misfit for Harry Potter bedroom decor. In my case, this idea was the masterstroke.
I stormed my mind and came up with two unique ideas. Firstly, I chose an owl soft toy, to create the Hedwig effect in the room. Next, I bought a pink and velvet textured comforter that creates a mystic and whimsical look in the room. This will make you think of Harry’s invisible cloak. I also topped it up with a Gryffindor-colored vintage plaid.
Decor
Readers who follow me know I love two types of decors- minimalist and vintage. And this Harry Potter bedroom decor was a perfect opportunity to try some cool vintage decor. Certainly, this was the part I enjoyed the most.
I knew any harry potter bedroom decor theme is incomplete without a Nimbus 2000 broom. But buying an authentic replica of the same would have cost me a fortune. So, I waited for some mind sparks and then launched my invaluable DIY plan. I had just the broom that could work as Harry’s broom. All I needed was to create a floating effect.
To recreate Hogwarts’s mystic charm, I used some vintage books as props. Firstly, I placed some vintage books on the bookshelf beside the bed. But I didn’t stop there. I also placed some vintage books on the dresser.
The vintage green dresser was also staged with antique letters in front of a Victorian mirror. Next, I decorated the dresser top with multiple brass showpieces. I also added a plant to a caddy and three frogs. To finish off, I placed two vintage suitcases. BAAM! The exact Hogwarts looks recreated. Oh! Not to forget the talking hat. I got the same Harry Potter hat from Amazon.
Affordable decor pieces for that statement look.
Speaking of statement look, what better than a traditional Hogwarts statement: “Wizards Welcome; Muggle Tolerated.” I flaunted a banner outside his bedroom that said the same. And, of course, in the same Harry Potter font style. I used two more things to complete my decor. I bought the hat I mentioned earlier. That cost me $15. Similarly, I bought a dummy wand. It also cost the same.
However, I was lately scratching for living room christmas decor ideas. It happened then. I found out how easily I could create a Harry Potter Christmas bedroom decor from the props I used. Here’s a brilliant plan.
Decorate your Christmas tree with fairy lights to recreate the Hogwarts effect. After that, place the talking hat on top of the Christmas tree. Meanwhile, loosely swirl a red Harry Potter scarf around the tree to create a trademark Harry Potter look!
Easy Harry Potter bedroom decor items
If you don’t have the time to brainstorm like me, here are some practical props I found suitable for a Harry Potter bedroom decor. They’re equally applicable to women’s and mens bedroom decor:
1. Crest throws
Start with a house crest throw. Come on, we all have our fav Harry Potter houses. The same goes for my brother. He’s a Gryffindor fan. But a Gryffindor throw is not enough to create a real-looking bedroom decor. So, I bought a Ravenclaw and a Hufflepuff throw as well. But here’s the trick.
Don’t simply lay them on your bed. Instead, buy a small treasure trove box from anywhere. Ensure it has that vintage, rugged look. Keep one inside it and another protruding out.
2. Jewelry pouches
I know there’s nothing to interest my brother. But velvety pouches are an undeniable part of any Harry Potter bedroom decor. Mostly, girls hooked to Harry Potter like this kind of decor. What’s cooler, each pouch comes with an anti-theft jinx. Therefore, your Time Turners collections are safe inside them.
The jinx is cool stuff that creates a more statement Harry Potter look. In the movie, it was Severus Snape who invented this jinx. Snape recorded the jinx in his name. However, he used the pseudonym “Half Blood Prince.”
Cost: $15 each
3. The marauder’s map
If there’s another invincible Harry Potter prop, that would be the Marauders map. I got a map-printed pillow for my brother. He can use it for his bedroom. Meanwhile, it would complement him in his college dorm as well.
Cost: $30 to $50.
4. The Gryffindor Robe
What’s better than the same robe as the Gryffindors had? But it is not everything that you need. I discussed the essentials in the first place. Now the robe is something that you may not be wearing forever in your life. So, it is a decor prop.
5. Bluetooth speakers
Shocked? Don’t be. You can easily have a speaker for your Harry Potter bedroom. I found a Bluetooth speaker that looks just like the Deathly Hallows sign. The centerpiece seems just like the round within the triangle. Luckily, I found one that has a golden-brown color too.
6. Patronus Damsk
The Patronus theme is a sure winner if you plan a Harry Potter bedroom decor. I got a Patronus motif on a damask pattern duvet cover for my planned bedroom. That’s not costly. But it gives total whimsical vibes.
The piece has characters like stags, owls, and hippogriffs. Oh, so Harry Potter!
7. Your Hogwarts Robe
A Hogwarts robe is difficult to get hands-on. I found two on Amazon. However, they lacked the original look and feel. After that, I started storming the internet for a real one. All of a sudden, I came across the Harry Potter Shop. Why wasn’t I searching here for that stuff?
I got the perfect Harry Potter robe here. There are themed adult Gryffindor robes, too. Damn, I was searching for one for a long time. And I finally got one. The robe had an embroidered crest that matched no other. It’s incredible to say! I also got a Harry Potter’s Hogwarts scarf for free.
Cost: $100
8. A gilded corkboard
There are many Harry Potter decor themes and props. But I was searching for those looking great for an ideal apartment bedroom. Hence, I came up with the idea of this gilded corkboard.
It was not a readymade option. I made this DIY piece. I hung the Hogwarts metal guild logo on the top. The rest had a tapering shape, as you would see in the movies. My brother can use it to hang his school schedule. Often, you can hang cute Harry Potter miniatures and your letters and drawings. But keep room for the Hogwarts letter. Keep faith; it’s reaching you!
A stunning look, complete
Choose the props that you like for your Harry Potter bedroom decor. Your max budget can be $1000. Most of my ideas are DIY and assembled. I tried not to copy the typical props that others on the internet flaunt. However, the decor would be incomplete without some props like the hat, robe, or wand.
But try to create some unique decor plans. My ideas will give you the necessary leads. So, read the entire blog. If you have more queries, post your comments below. I will read and reply to each one.
