It's pretty bare-bones with a super basic bedframe that doesn't offer much aesthetic appeal. As I was thinking of how to turn the space around, it occurred to me that a new upholstered bed frame would make the biggest impact. Let's be honest: My bed takes up most of the small space anyway, so I'm convinced investing in a design-y bed frame will help take it to the next level.

Now's the perfect time to refresh your bedroom with affordable home decor items, from incredibly soft hotel-like bedding to luxe-looking blackout curtains.
