Budget Friendly Kids' Bathroom Update with Amazon Wallpaper
If you're like me, you're always looking for ways to refresh your space without breaking the bank. When it came to updating our kids' bathroom, I knew I wanted to add some personality and charm, but I also needed to keep costs low. That's when I stumbled upon the perfect solution: wallpaper! Let me tell you how I scored a deal that transformed the space.
The $4 Steal
It all started with a random scroll through my local M@C bid auction site. I wasn’t even actively looking for wallpaper, but when I saw this stunning floral wallpaper up for bid, I had to try my luck. The bold, vintage-inspired poppies in warm orange and cool blues immediately caught my eye. I placed a bid and couldn’t believe it when I won—for just $4! Yes, $4 for a roll of wallpaper that looked like it belonged in a boutique showroom.
Ordering More from Amazon
Once I got the roll home, I knew it wouldn’t be enough to cover the bathroom, but I wasn’t ready to give up on the idea. After some digging, I found the exact same wallpaper on Amazon! I quickly ordered additional rolls to finish the project. While they weren’t $4 (unfortunately!), they were still reasonably priced and worth every penny to bring this vision to life.
Applying the Wallpaper
This was my first time wallpapering with a brand from Amazon. I typically order from TempPaper so I was a little nervous about the quality. However, the wallpaper’s peel-and-stick design made it super simple to apply. The hardest part was lining up the floral pattern, but once I got into a rhythm, it came together beautifully. A pro tip: use a smoothing tool to avoid bubbles and a sharp utility knife for clean edges.
The Transformation
The wallpaper completely transformed the bathroom. The warm tones of the flowers brought in a cozy, inviting vibe, while the blue accents added a modern touch. It pairs perfectly with the wooden finishes in the room, creating a balance of rustic and contemporary styles. It also matches the checker print paper that I put up first from TempPaper. I do prefer the more expensive brand
Why I Love This Update
Affordable: By starting with the $4 roll and supplementing with Amazon, I kept the total cost far lower than I’d anticipated for such a dramatic update.
Customizable: The floral design adds a unique touch that’s both kid-friendly and stylish enough to grow with them.
Quick and Easy: From start to finish, this project took less than a day—and the results are stunning.
If you're thinking about sprucing up a space in your home, don’t underestimate the power of wallpaper. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or a first-timer like me, it’s a fun and rewarding project. And who knows? Maybe you’ll stumble upon your own $4 find!
