I’m Giving My Entire Bedroom a Refresh With These 10 Elevated Essentials

When I moved into my first solo apartment in January, I poured my design efforts (and budget) into the living room and kitchen. But now, six months later, I’m ready to breathe a little extra life into my bedroom, too. 

Since my budget for actually achieving this project is limited, I’m focusing on affordable and impactful changes that will make my bedroom feel luxurious without dropping an entire paycheck. I’m eyeing 10 finds including a full-length mirror, peel and stick wallpaper, and bedding at Wayfair that—all totaled up—is less than $500 for the whole project.

Alwyn Home Ludgershall Down Alternative Medium Support Pillow Set

Considering the fact we spend nearly a third of our lives in bed, it’s important to cultivate a comfortable and luxurious sleeping environment. I have my eyes on these down alternative pillows to help me achieve that goal. They offer medium support and include a 230 thread count cover. One customer called them “so soft, comfy, and supportive,” while another added that they’re “very plush.”  

Latitude Run Shatterproof Metal Full-Length Mirror

I love the way a full-length mirror opens up even a small room (like mine) and also serves as a functional feature for the space. This 74 percent-off style comes in sleek black, gold, and silver options. You can mount it to the wall or leave it freestanding thanks to a durable, built-in rest, which customers called “convenient.” Others praised the mirror as “exactly what [they were] looking for” and “great quality for the price.” 

Joss & Main Venora Square Throw Pillow 

This 71 percent-off throw pillow is made with “superb quality,” according to customers. The design comes with both the insert and removable cover—the latter of which features a zipper closure so it’s easy to wash when needed. The throw comes in three versatile colors, including dark gray, navy, and taupe, and is the “perfect finishing touch,” per another reviewer. 

Lark Manor Aleiah Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to elevate a space, and peel and stick options, like this Lark Manor design, are ideal for a rental. It’s made from vinyl with a smooth texture and satin finish that looks so luxurious, and the peel away backing makes application a breeze. One shopper raved that it “sticks nice even after pulling off and readjusting a few times,” while another added that it’s “very forgiving as far as moving it to meet the seams up.”
