What’s New in the Primary Bedroom
Paint Color
I painted the walls Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist (I get Home Depot to color-match paint using the Glidden brand). It’s a light gray and beige color and is perfect in our bedroom since it’s a dark room. I don’t know WHY I painted our room dark green a few years ago! I guess I was trying a moody hue or boho theme and it just wasn’t me AT ALL! Well, live and learn. Now I know what I like and it’ll stay this color for a few years at least 😉
New Bed and Mattress
I partnered with Zinus to feature the Dachelle Platform Bed and the Green Tea Cooling Mattress + Topper in our Primary Bedroom Makeover. I originally planned to purchase a new bed frame and keep our existing mattress but Zinus has amazing products and the price for the set is very affordable!

Our previous bed frame was from Zinus and we sold it on FB Marketplace, along with the headboard so we made a profit by updating our bed!
I can’t say enough good things about the Dachelle Platform Bed and Green Tea Mattress from Zinus. I haven’t slept this well in years! The Zinus bed frame is sturdy enough to support our King Size Mattress and both my husband and I. It’s a very high-quality platform bed frame. There is room underneath the bed to store small items. and the color and fabric will last for years to come. The beautiful design and color of this Zinus platform bed match our aesthetic in the bedroom.

The Zinus Green Tea mattress and topper are luxurious. I feel like I’m in a hotel room bed! Our Zinus mattress transformed nights into a rejuvenating journey, leading to mornings filled with energy and vitality. The Green Tea Mattress looks so comfy and inviting by itself but we added the Cooling Mattress topper which adds height to our bed. The cooling gel mattress topper from Zinus takes the green tea mattress to the next level. I highly recommend it!
Swapped the Dressers and Added a Makeup Vanity
We replaced ALL of the furniture. I was tired of the rattan dressers (which we found on FB marketplace for a steal). Rattan is really hard to keep clean and our bedroom gets dusty fast! We sold the dressers and used that money to buy matching dressers from a local thrift store. I updated the dressers using the same paint and hardware as the makeup vanity desk! I budgeted $500 for 2 dressers and only spent $160. We sold the previous dressers for $100 so we only spent $60 (or $30 for each dresser)!
Vizio TV | Olive Tree | Beddy’s
I added a makeup vanity. I had a vanity desk in our bedroom before but I could never get the furniture to quite fit the way I wanted. So I sat down and sketched a room layout with the furniture before I did anything else. Then I created a vision board in Canva with screenshots of the furniture and accessories I planned to use. I found this vanity of FB marketplace for $50. It’s solid wood and was in pretty good condition. It’s difficult to find anything made with solid wood these days and I didn’t want some particle board furniture in our bedroom.
Mirror | Vanity Chair | Rug
Window Treatments
I added curtains. We had curtains in our bedroom 5 years ago and then I wanted a cleaner, minimalist look. My hubby also has a fear of dust collecting on curtains so we went without them for a while. The new curtains are repurposed from our family room.
New Rug
We replaced the rug. There wasn’t anything wrong with the previous rug I put it in my daughter’s bedroom. I just fell in love with the rug in my Craft Room Makeover so I got the same rug larger for our bedroom.
How To Transform Your Primary Bedroom into a Tranquil Retreat on a Budget
Start by decluttering and organizing your bedroom to create a clean and calming atmosphere. Add some soft, neutral colors to the walls and bedding to promote relaxation. Consider investing in some cozy textiles like throw blankets and plush pillows to add warmth and comfort to the room. To enhance the tranquil ambiance, incorporate elements of nature such as houseplants or nature-inspired artwork. Don’t forget about lighting – soft, warm lighting can instantly create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Consider adding some candles or fairy lights for a touch of ambiance. Finally, personalize your space with meaningful decor items that bring you joy and peace.
- I used some Dollar Tree faux succulents in a thrift store flower pot to create cheap but upscale decor on our dresser.
- An Ikea table runner is used on our dresser top to blend the 2 dressers and add texture.
- I used battery-timed candles on our dresser to create a relaxing environment.
- Our Vizio TV above the dressers has tranquil images and music displayed to bring comfort.
With these budget-friendly tips, you can easily transform your primary bedroom into a tranquil retreat where you can unwind and rejuvenate after a long day.
