    38 Things That’ll Transform Your Lackluster Bedroom

    You clock some of your most important hours there. It deserves it.

    1. A pair of down-alternative cooling pillows will feel super luxurious without the matching price tag. Trust me — I sleep on these and preach about them. 

    Promising review: "I have searched high and low for the perfect pillow. All the new memory foam or bamboo pillows were usually too hard or too high and would hurt my neck. These pillows were perfect and just what I was looking for. I would definitely buy these again." —Sylvia L. Williams

    2. plush blanket that reviewers compare to Barefoot Dreams to wrap up in while you read in bed or scroll for a few hours on TikTok. Maybe even back and forth between the two.

    Promising review: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 10 styles and two sizes). 

    3. Suspenders for your sheets that are exactly how they sound so no matter how much you toss and turn, your fitted sheet won't pop you in the face in the middle of the night when it comes loose. It happens! I know!

    Promising review: "These have worked great! I like bamboo sheets, which are slippery and the corners always came up. Since I started using these my corners haven’t come up and the sheet stays relatively wrinkle-free." —Beachyfun

    Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors/styles).

    4. nightlight for your bed that'll make you feel like you're staying at a fancy hotel as you step around that pile of clothes that fell off "the chair" in the middle of the night.

    Promising review: "Great light strip. The motion sensor has a good range and then controls for time on and brightness are wonderful. The 3M tape on the back could be stronger, but for the price and motion sensor it is a great buy. Also we have this plugged into a smart outlet so that it only turns on during certain hours of the day. That plus the feature that is there is enough ambient light, the motion sensor doesn't trigger makes this on par with systems that are far more expensive. Works great with Google home as well because of the linked smart plug. Very happy with the purchase. Would be 4.5 stars just because of the tape not being sticky enough, but they do provide a second roll in the box, which helps." —AC

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    5. A bottle of non-toxic Folex Carpet Spot Remover can make all sorts of horrific stains disappear quickly. *And* there's no rinsing or vacuuming involved. 

    To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with an absorbent cloth. This is non-toxic and should be non-irritating on the skin!

    Promising review: "I had terrible rust and oil stains all over the seats of my car when I bought it. I tried other cleaners to get it out, but they actually made the stains darker. I took it to the dealership to see if they could get it out and they flat out told me no, so I gave up and lived with it for almost five years. I tried this after it was recommended by a friend. I sprayed it on and literally watched the stain run right off my seat. It was amazing! I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace the seats in my car because nothing else would work. This stuff really is awesome!" —Brittany

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

    6. And a red wine stain remover you should keep on hand because, well, accidents happen! But you can be prepared for (at least some of) them!

    Promising review: "Other products were sprayed on the stain beforehand and I was concerned about the stain getting set, but it came out. I only wish there was more product for the price, but I'll buy it again." —Mars

    Get it from Amazon for $7.95.

    7. Small cable clip organizers you can stick on as you please because there's no need to see OR trip over the your phone charger cord every time you stand up to fill up your glass of water.

    Promising review: "I put these cord holders all over my house. I was forever losing my charger cord on the floor and behind something. This device keeps my charger cords within easy reach. I would buy again." —M Hill

    8. book-shaped flower vase poised to go perfectly on your side table in your little reading nook.

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99.

    10. A gorgeous glass essential oil diffuser and humidifier as a lil' helper against dryness while giving you something to zone out on while you're doing the mental math about whether you should order Thai or pizza for dinner.

    Promising reviews: "It’s beautiful!! Best oil diffuser I’ve ever had. Everyone is asking me where I got it at. Gives off a lot of mist, makes my whole room smell wonderful, and it’s a great conversation piece. Highly recommend it." —Danielle Martinez

    Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in three sizes and 16 colors).

    11. A plug-in color-shifting mushroom light can channel cottagecore vibes...even if you're stuck in a concrete jungle atm.

    The mushrooms lit up in the dark

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97

    12. An LED cloud light to bring all sorts of ambience to your space and convince you to stay at home and get a little more of your money's worth on rent.

    DreamVibeCreations is a small biz specializing in novelty lights. 

    Promising review: "This cloud is the PERFECT nightlight for my 6-year-old. We hung it up tonight, and he just loves it! Good size, and bright enough to light up all corners of the room just the right amount." —Hannah Cassar

    Get it from DreamVibeCreations on Etsy for $49.50+ (available in white or multi-color).

    13. A moon lamp can give you something gorgeous to gaze upon, even if you're stuck in an apartment with a view of your neighbor who never wears clothes.

    The moon changing colors from white to red to blue to purple
    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    My colleague Emma Lord has and adores this. This is what she has to say about it: "UMMMM I bought this because it was on one of Amazon's top-selling products pages for so long that I was like, "Why are people so obsessed with this moon!!" And now, my friends, I know. First of all, it really does look hyper realistically like a small moon and adds a chill vibe wherever you plant it. But it's also just so soothing to watch and have in the periphery. You can control dozens of different colors for it and either keep it on those colors or have them alternate, fade quickly, or fade gradually. It's super easy to charge and controlled by a remote, so you can move it off its stand and have it light up wherever you want. These days I tend to turn it on for my designed ~me time~ night every week, in which I will light a candle, pour a glass of red wine, read a romance novel, and, of course, light my lil' moon. Definitely one of my favorite "the internet made me do it" purchases."

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes). 

    14. Lighted curtains to layer with some sheer curtains for an ethereal look.

    Get them from Amazon: 300 LED light curtain for $19.99 and sheer curtains for $14.99+ (available in several colors and lengths)

    15. Or a fairy light photo display with lil' clips to easily swap out the photos as you please. It'll create a lovely feature and help add another light source (every room needs three!), which will be especially welcome if you live in a place that has no ceiling light!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "These are fun lights that spruced up a dull area. Once I got them untangled initially, they were super easy to put up. They are a tad bit heavy and need something strong to clip to. The clips have good springs and will stay wherever they are put. It literally took just a few minutes, including adding the photos, to put up and enjoy." —Sheila Crawford

    Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three lengths and in warm white or yellow).

    16. A rainbow prism suncatcher that'll easily hang indoors or out to refract sunlight and make your living room look even cooler.

    Promising review: "Easy to install. Lights provide ample lighting; USB allows lights to be a standalone fixture without tying up another wall socket. The USB interface also acts to turn the lights on and off with the TV. Backlighting also seems to make the screen seem sharper." —Shaun

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL).

    18. Some super-luxe-looking, room-darkening velvet curtains that'll look like you paid rent on them.

    Promising review: "Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight (which in the winter is a significant amount, especially in the Northeast). Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" —Noname

    Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ a panel (available in four sizes and nine colors).

    19. A linen bedding bundle so you can fully realize your fancy home self while keeping your cool. You don't have to sleep hot to love these, but that'll make you love them even more!

    bed with linen bedding
    Piglet

    Piglet's signature fabric is made from 100% natural stonewashed French flax that gets softer and softer with wear. The linens are prewashed for softness and won't shrink. The fabric is warm and cozy in the winter and fresh and cool in the warmer months. This bundle includes a natural linen duvet cover, pair of colorful pillowcases, pair of white pillowcases, white flat sheet, and white fitted sheet.

    Get it from Piglet for $363+ (available in 14 colors).

    20. Or perhaps a plush double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set if you've said out loud "I wish this fuzzy blanket came in a comforter."

    Amazon

    One side is faux fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom-fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.

    Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard thing thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this...do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK

    Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 27 colors).

    21. A reed oil diffuser more or less made for folks like me who can't keep actual plants alive. Lucky for you and I, these faux flowers look *quite* realistic.

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful reed and flower diffuser. Perfect packaging with lots of oil in it. I purchased a real flower diffuser with April Fresh scent. I absolutely love it. This is a pretty modern diffuser; good for my home decor. I am going to repurchase it for every room in my house and gift for my friends." —Grace

    Get it from Amazon for $17 (available in three scents).

    22. window film that'll still let in SO much light while adding some serious privacy. I did this to my bathroom window and congratulate myself for it every day.

    Promising review: "I have a weird skinny window in my house where no normal window covering works. People walking on our community trail can see up into our upstairs bathroom when the light is on and it's dark outside. Not a good plan at all. So I used this window film and cut different-sized circles and placed then on this window to interrupt the view into the house. Worked perfectly! Very easy to use." —Marsgard

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in 11 sizes).

    23. rotating makeup/skincare organizer for putting your most-used options within close range without overpowering your vanity. Because maybe you've been banned from keeping all your goods in your shared bathroom.

    Promising review: "Just another thing TikTok made me buy! The quality of the plastic is really great and I love that you can move the shelves as you see fit." —Reagan

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

    24. A genius T-shirt roll holder to create some storage out of seemingly thin air. Perhaps now you'll actually be able to find the remaining T-shirts in that drawer instead of having them then hang out in "the chair" basically ALL the time.

    Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    The Roll Keeper is owned by Kelso, Washington's resident crafter, Traci. Traci has been crafting for over 40 years and created her storage design to help organize vinyl, soon realizing that it was the perfect organization solution for much more. Her shop has versions for bottles, wrapping paper, pens, and more. My colleague Mallory Mower owns this and loves it. Here's what she has to say:

    "Before getting this I was driving myself up the wall with my bad folding habits. I basically shoved all my shirts into the storage drawers under my bed, because I have a teeny tiny closet (the picture above gives you a solid idea of how small it is). This has given me a massive amount of clothing storage I didn't have before. The quality is stellar and Traci is 10/10 the most thoughtful person I've purchased an Etsy product from!"

    Get it from The Roll Keeper on Amazon for $23.99

    25. sharp bed skirt that'll mask the storage horror show underneath your bed *and* coordinate with your bedding. (Your storage sitch makes sense to YOU and THAT'S what matters.)

    Even the minimalists should get on board with this. Just go for one with clean lines like this one! I went a few years without one and then was floored by the difference it made in hiding all the stuff I shove under my bed. And I store A LOT of stuff under my bed!

    Promising review: "I could not get it to fit right at first for some reason. Probably because I was having a bad week and wanted something to be angry about. When I was in a better state of mind I got it and laughed at how simple it was. Fits well and covers the mess I am hiding now that I went up to a king." —Dennis E. Marquardt

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and four colors).

    26. A reusable pet fur remover might just have you tossing your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your bed that both you and your dog sleep in.

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $28.95

    27. A ~streamlined~ door draft stopper to keep gusts from coming in under the door. It'll just look like a natural part of your door, plus keep that precious A/C in your bedroom while you sleep.

    Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit B.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

    28. Some wood scratch cover can cover up dings and discoloration on door frames and molding so everything will blend in like normal. Also, it requires no sanding or refinishing! Cue to you on the prowl for more wood surfaces you can fix up.

    Promising review: "I can't believe how well Old English works! I recently purchased a home where a dog previously lived and had horribly scratched the woodwork. I thought I may have to sand and refinish the woodwork around two doors. Old English saved me a lot of work! " —Behold Behold!

    Get it from Amazon for $5.38 (also available for light woods).

    29. And some wood repair markers to hide smaller scratches on your fave furniture. We love a repair instead of a replacement product!

    Promising review: "I can’t believe how well these work! Much better than I was expecting. I just had my home interior painted and the painters damaged a fiberboard medicine cabinet when they removed the masking tape. It ripped off the fake wood veneer. These markers completely filled in the ugly spots and the colors blended well. I love that it appears to have some clear coat in it too as it dries with a slight shine that makes it look more like wood stain rather than marker. I also used them to stain wood filler in two spots in my maple kitchen cabinets where a previous home owner had hung a paper towel holder and I really struggle to see the hole! It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this set. It’s a good value and works very well." —Shane

    Get a set of 13 from Amazon for $9.99.

    30. A hanger organizer you should've bought for your closet eons ago. Remember that time you bought a 50-pack of hangers because you thought you were out but you most definitely weren't? Yep.

    Promising review: "This was just what I needed! It may not be the prettiest of things, however it holds all the hangers I have. It's very easy to move around the room where needed." —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    31. A set of hoodie hangers so your most comfortable items can end their reign of terror on your normal clothes hangers or your couch that you're currently using as "the chair." Turns out your BFF didn't borrow your best hoodie. Your couch did.

    32. sleek (but ventilated!) box will mask an unsightly power strip and also keep your cat outta there.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This box does the trick. I'm able to place a few cords in here and the only thing I would change is to make it so the top stays on; maybe a groove it has to slide through so it can't fall off. It looks nice and it works well." —Gigi

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99. Check out an option that'll blend in with wood floors.

    33. A sock and underwear organizer to help you zero in on your lucky Halloween socks... and figure out which pair-less ones need the boot.

    They also collapse to store flat when not in use. You get four bins: a six-cell (for scarves, hankies, and ties), an eight-cell (for underwear), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks).

    Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.87 (available in seven colors).

    34. A container of touch-up paint to help cover up all those chips and marks that seem to follow you around the room like one of those portraits where the eyes look straight forward.

    Promising review: "Rather than ditching furniture into a landfill, which is bad for the environment and one's pocketbook, this product allows you to give new life to existing furniture. Between the Soto touchup and new handles, my entertainment center looks like new....for less than $35. If you can use liquid paper, you can use this. I just ordered another bottle for porcelain. This is a fantastic product. You will love it!" —LexiNYC
