You know you’ve been staring at your lackluster room all year. Follow these steps to upgrade your bedroom.

Is this winter’s bout of cabin fever got you dreaming of more space in your home?

With the latest numbers on existing- and new-home sales from the National Association of Realtors®, we can now close the books on 2015. And quite a year it’s been! As we’d expected, 2015 produced major growth and some big-time milestones in housing’s recovery.

When looking through photos of beautiful high-end rooms, it can be tempting to think, “If I had that kind of money, of course I could create a gorgeous living room (dining room, bedroom) like that.” But a gazillion-dollar budget doesn’t guarantee a great-looking room. And you don’t need a fortune to design a room that’s inviting and delightful and comfortable to be in. 

Want your place to look like those home design website images you drool over? Of course you do! Problem is, your budget may not match your design aspirations. Fear not! Making your home look high-end isn’t always about spending tons of cash.

If your home has you down in the dumps but you lack the cash to fix it up, don’t despair! Not every upgrade has to take a big bite out of your bank account.

Here are seven foolproof ways to make your home feel like a totally different place through small changes—and small expenses.

If you’re considering home improvements—or even just adding a few extra touches to freshen up the place—don’t rush the process. A plan is key for any successful remodeling job.
