Spruce up your Bathroom
Remodeling your bathroom for under $1,000 seems like a difficult venture, right? It doesn't have to be. That's not say that you can re-do your entire bathroom, but making a few simple changes can completely change the look of your bathroom and give it a much needed makeover, all while being cost conscious.
A fresh coat of paint goes a long way.
While re-tiling is likely out of the question, adding a fresh coat of paint is step 1. Choose your color based on the size of your bathroom. If it's teeny tiny you want to stay away from deep, warm colors and go for something more light and airy, like a pale blue, cream, sage green or even white! White may seem too clinical for some, but adding in the right decor accents and hardware offsets that feel.
So, take a look at some of these ideas.
This bathroom is a bit on the small side, so the white wall color was the way to go here. Adding in blue towels, and a touch of green with a faux plant adds pops of color to offset the white. The gray painted cabinet pairs nicely as well. Navy blue would also have been a great accent color.
Bathroom Accents
Another great idea here is the round wall mirror. Round mirrors in a small space create a focal point as well as serving a purpose, we all need a mirror in our bathroom! Another possible choice would have been a mirror with a bit more color, like a Gold trimmed Round Mirror.
Changing out your bathroom mirror is a great way to revamp your bathroom on a budget. Take a look at some other Hanging Wall Mirror ideas!

Replace your Vanity
There are so many options available here. If you are more of a minimalist, go for a new pedestal sink and ditch the vanity altogether. But if you need the storage space and prefer a more warm and cozy look, a new wood vanity, be it rustic or modern, would change enhance appearance of your bathroom quite inexpensively.
The deep natural wood tone creates a warmth and compliments the tile nicely. And don't you just love those copper faucets?! That's another idea as well...

New Accent Furniture transforms any space!
Let's face it, you're likely not going to be able to get that gorgeous new sectional or living room set you've had your eye on unless you hit a great sale. Replacing or adding in a new accent chair is definitely within budget though. Consider adding an oversized, cozy accent chair to that bare corner of your room or swap out your old one for one in a bold accent color. Tip: Rattan or wicker chairs are an even cheaper alternative if your budget is super tight and your space has more of a boho chic or vibe. 
How about some new end tables or a new coffee or console table (or both) for your living or family room? This wicker chest/coffee table and wood console table are the perfect match for this space. Adds a nice, cottage feel - don't you think?
Tip: When re-designing your space take a look at what's trending for some additional ideas. For instance, peel and stick wallpaper. It's fashionable, functional, and an easy fix if you have no experience hanging wall paper. Best of all it won’t harm your walls and, in addition to being friendly on the old piggy bank, if you change your mind it's super easy to remove.

Create a Feature Wall with wood
Shiplap can also be a great way to update your walls. Depending on the size of the space you are re-desigining, you might be able to squeeze an entire room into your 1K budget, but for larger spaces, add a feature wall of shiplap! We all see Farmhouse styled homes more and more these days and nothing screams farmhouse louder than shiplap. It's super easy to install too!

You can even accent your ceiling with wood!
When adding a deep, dark grain wood to your ceiling you will to stick with a light wall color or wallpaper. Too much dark color can make your space look small so keep that in mind as you venture into this territory. If done right it looks amazing!
Barn Doors are a true Farmhouse accent
While barn doors are characteristically country, they've become a trend in farmhouse as well as modern styled homes. Rustic barn doors have a vintage charm, while a more polished, finished wood look lends itself well to any modern or even traditional home. Aside from creating a focal point, barn doors are an easy way to add separation to bathrooms, closets, bedrooms ... any room in your home. And when paired with a shiplap wall.. .well... you be the judge...

Wood Beams to add more Farmhouse to the mix
Exposed wood beams are an architectural element that make rooms appear to have higher ceilings or, they serve as a decorative element that adds rustic charm to your home.
With a $1,000 budget, now would be the time to add them to your decor. To save some money, you could opt to add faux beams to your space, where you cover existing beams with a more rustic wood, or, if you are sans beams... add them in! Choose real wood or you can go the true faux route and add in high-density polyurethane faux wood beams. Either way you will love the end result!
Add in some other farmhouse inspired decor as well, like the 3 tiered metal tray above.
Even if your home is not decorated with a rustic farmhouse theme, wood beams also compliment more modern and traditional spaces as well - just choose a more finished look, like in the picture below.
Another great idea to add some more rustic to your space is to add a rustic wood frame around your doorways!
