10 Affordable Ways To Make Your Bedroom Feel Luxurious

Are you hoping to add a touch of luxury to your bedroom without spending a fortune? If so, you’re in luck! There are plenty of ways to make your space feel more luxurious on a budget.

Here are 10 affordable ways to make your bedroom feel luxurious:

The first step to creating a luxurious bedroom is to get rid of any clutter. This means getting rid of anything that you don’t absolutely need and finding a place to store it elsewhere. Not only will this make your room look more spacious and open, but it will also give you a sense of calm and relaxation.

Another way to make your bedroom feel more luxurious is to add some greenery. This can be done by adding a few plants or even an indoor tree. Not only will this add a touch of nature to your room, but it can also help to improve the air quality.

  • Invest in some quality mattress

One of the most important investments you can make for your bedroom is a quality mattress. This will ensure that you get a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested. It’s worth spending the extra money on a high-quality mattress as it will last longer and provide you with a better sleeping experience. You can purchase good and high-quality mattresses in Orem and other areas in the country.

Another way to make your bedroom feel more luxurious is to use pillows and throws. This will add a touch of comfort and style to your room. You can find these in a variety of different materials, colors, and sizes. Choose ones that match the overall style of your bedroom and that you find comfortable.

  • Get rid of any electronics

Another way to create a luxurious bedroom is to

Simple Solutions

Stack wood in alternating courses to help it season faster. (3 Echoes Content Studio)

How to Stack Firewood for Optimal Seasoning — Most people place firewood in one row, all the way across, and they work their way up with the same pattern. Now, there’s nothing particularly wrong with that method.

But if you want to know how to stack firewood so it’s as ready as it’s going to be for burning in your fireplace, then you’ll need to learn some new tricks.

You should stack the wood in alternating courses — that is, in opposite directions, row by row — and you continue that pattern. This way, there’s much more space for the air to circulate.

Best in Show: Our Top 5 Home Makeovers of 2022

2022 has been a year of incredible makeovers here at Today’s Homeowner. Here are our favorite before-and-after transformations from the past year.

5. Front Porch Makeover

Mike and Leigh Ann have a beautiful piece of property that they share with their horses. But they felt like the front of their house lacked the visual appeal that the land it sits on deserved.

The walkway to it was incomplete and unattractive, while the front porch was a sea of dingy paint, stuck on the front of a white house. There was nothing to draw you in or make you feel welcome.

But now, the front porch is freshly painted, and even though we only added a little gray to the mix, there’s enough contrast to give the space some personality.

The rotten wood and peeling paint are gone, and so is the poorly poured sidewalk. In its place is a symmetrically arranged walkway of 12 stepping stones — made from Quikrete’s Walkmaker molds — that create a graceful transition to the porch steps.

The porch now invites you to pull up a chair and enjoy the view.

4. Two Patios are Better Than One

Jerry and Shay have a beautiful backyard with great shade trees and a lush lawn. But their old fire pit had seen better days and the existing patio offered few opportunities to enjoy the outdoor space. It was too small for entertaining and the monotone color palette lacked any real interest.

Now, the whole backyard has come alive

Stainless Steel Cleaners for Almost Everything

Choosing the right stainless steel cleaner is much simpler than shopping for a new refrigerator or stove for your home. Still, a stainless steel cleaner is important to keep your appliances looking brand new long after you install them. Here are a few things to consider:

✔️ Surface type: You don’t want to use the same stainless steel cleaner on your refrigerator that you use on your outdoor grill. Some stainless steel surfaces, like grills, require more abrasive formulas than your kitchen appliances do. A formula that’s too abrasive can cause damage that no cleaner, polish or mineral oil will be able to buff away.

✔️ Application style: Stainless steel cleaners most often come as sprays, powders or wipes. Which you opt for all comes down to convenience. Powders need to be mixed with water to form a paste, so they require an extra step. If you’re looking to make cleaning a one-step process, go for a wipe that requires no extra tools and can be disposed of immediately after use. Looking to reduce your environmental footprint? Ditch the wipes and paper towels for a washable microfiber cloth that you can reuse whenever it’s time to give your appliances a quick polish.

✔️ Polish: Some stainless steel cleaners only clean surfaces without bringing back the shine they had when you first bought them. If you’re looking to make your stainless steel sparkle again, look for a product designed to polish as well as clean. Plus, if your cleaner leaves a protective film on your appliances, you won’t have to worry about cleaning fingerprints and greasy stains so often!

✔️ Scent: Many cleaning products leave an all too familiar chemical smell lingering on the surfaces we clean — some of us love it and others don’t! If you prefer a
