If you can't afford to upgrade or update a whole room, why not start with the door? The door makes a big impression, and you see it and use it every day. Simply changing the color or texture of the door can enhance the whole room.
Sometimes, adding a brightly-colored door can make the entire room look like it's been renovated, and it can definitely liven up the look of a bland room.
