THERE'S no need to drain your entire paycheck so you can have the room of your dreams.
A home, beauty, and lifestyle guru revealed how she made her bedroom look luxurious on a budget – and you can too.
WALLPAPER
Wallpaper has previously been seen as outdated, but it's certainly making a comeback as a cheap way to spice up your space.
Home and life expert Ayeyi said in a video shared to her 33,000 TikTok followers that she wallpapered a single wall in her bedroom because she wanted to feel like she was living in a "luxe and cozy boutique hotel."
"Wallpaper can completely transform the look of a room," she stated.
"I like to use peel and stick because it's super easy to apply and doesn't damage the walls."

The wallpaper she picked is a chic black alligator print that sells for between $35 and $384 on Amazon.
LIGHTING
Ayeyi explained that lighting can also give a space a makeover.
"Adding wall lights instantly gives that upscale hotel vibe," she said.
"And if you don't want to spend money on hardware or installation, or just don't like the look of wires, use puck lights to make these completely renter-friendly."

Puck lights are a versatile choice because they usually serve as an accent meant to focus light on a single object and can be easily placed anywhere in the home.
The light she used sells on Amazon for $69.99 a piece.
MIRRORS
"Lastly, add lots of wall or floor mirrors for a luxe decorative touch," Ayeyi suggested.
"Not only do they reflect light and brighten up the space, they also make the space appear a lot bigger."
Mirrors can be expensive, but a crafty furniture flipper previously showed how she transformed an affordable Ikea mirror into a stunning piece that looks like the mirrors sold at Anthropologie for nearly $1,000.
And if you're interested in ways to make other rooms in your home look luxe for less, an interior designer shared three ways to do so for under $10.
