Your bathroom may not be the place where you're channeling all your interior design energy, but it's actually a room where you can integrate your personal style much easier than you'd think.

Thanks to less real estate to work with (compared to, say, your living room), each decor move can go a long way. No clue where to start? We compiled a list of easy-to-achieve bathroom DIYs that will help you flip (or subtly tweak) your bathroom into a more personalized, stylish space, especially considering each one can be done with high-quality supplies from Walmart. Bathroom of your dreams, coming right up.

1. Add some color with printed wallpaper

Your walls set the tone for the entire room, so switch them up with minimal effort by adding a peel-and-stick wallpaper like Drew Barrymore Flower Home Gingko Pink Peel & Stick Wallpaper. Cover all the walls with a floral print for a maximalist botanical feel, or stick to just one area for a modern, contrasting look. No one will guess that it isn't the permanent kind — or that you didn't hire a professional to install it.

2. Swap the vanity
