The best way to transform your current place into your dream home is to focus on sprucing up one space at a time until the whole property is just the way you want it. You spend a lot of time in your bedroom and bathroom, so consider making them one of the first rooms to remodel. However, you don’t have to break the bank to get the look you want. Here are a few tips to save you money on the renovation and still get your desired changes.

1. Upgrade the Walls

Upgrading the walls gives an instant lift to your rooms. Consider painting each in a soothing natural color to put your mind in relaxation mode whenever you enter your bedroom or bath. Try a misty gray, soft sand, sage green, or any shade of blue. Of course, you can do the project yourself to save some cash.

Wallpaper is back in a big way! This durable choice isn’t the messy, time-consuming do-it-yourself project it once was either. New peel-and-stick options are easy to apply with an adhesive backing that can be repositioned or removed if you don’t get it perfectly placed the first time. You will find various patterns to suit the room’s mood, whether whimsical, casual, or formal. Choose wallpaper that’s both easy to use and customizable and have it printed on-demand, so you don’t ever have to worry about your print being out of stock.

2. Buy Luxurious Linens and Towels

Nothing says home retreat like luxurious linens with a high thread count on your bed and soft fluffy towels in your bathroom. To get the best ones you can afford, shop online for a discount on an expensive set or check out local estate sales.

3. Update the Lighting

Update your lighting for another small change that significantly impacts the look of your bedroom and bath. Lamps are a popular bedroom option and help you control the amount of light you allow in each space. For a different look, consider pendant lights, wall sconces, or a set of string lights.

A variety of bathroom lighting options are available as well. Pendant lighting made of glass, copper, or bronze is a hot new trend and can be paired with matching sconces next to the mirror.

4. Add Houseplants

Adding houseplants to your bedroom and bath promotes relaxation and can remove toxins from the air. Not only are they beautiful, but a fragrant variety such as gardenia, jasmine, or lavender also provides aromatherapy. Non-flowering options include a Boston fern or English ivy. Unfortunately, research shows that many plants are poisonous to pets, so make sure you select a plant that isn’t toxic to Fido or Fluffy if you are a pet owner.

5. Paint Your Bathroom Vanity

Vanity colors have been trending beyond the typical white or beige color schemes for years now. If you don’t want to spend the money to replace an old bathroom vanity, give it a new look with a coat of paint in a color you adore.

6. Use Baskets for Bathroom Storage

Woven baskets are a beautiful way to store bath essentials, rolled towels, and even laundry. Various sizes are available to organize even your smallest items in style.

Try these inexpensive changes to upgrade your bedroom and bath into spaces you love. You’ll also be another step closer to having your dream home.
