1. Create some extra storage space

A little extra storage space can go a long way in your bedroom. Install a few floating shelves or cubbies to create some wall-mounted storage opportunity or invest in a compact, rolling garment rack to score additional closet space in seconds without cramping up your bedroom.

2. Hang new curtains 

Searching for a foolproof way to transform your bedroom in minutes? Take a cue from Lauren of @farmhouseforfour and hang up a couple of new curtain panels in a sophisticated fabric or a couple of roman shades to usher in some breezy bedroom vibes without breaking your bank account.

3. Make a statement wall

If you thought statement walls only worked in large, open spaces then think again. Use some removable wallpaper to turn a bare bedroom wall into an eye-catching scene or forge a gallery wall above your bed in place of a bulky headboard.

4. Incorporate interesting textiles

You can always count on interesting textiles to upgrade your bedroom in a pinch. Employ a chunky knit rug near the foot of your bed or a few embroidered pillows on your bed, like we saw on Vintage Whites Blog, to create a layered look for your room in no time.

5. Buy new bedding

Never underestimate the power of high-quality bedding. Not only will a nice set of bed linens instantly make your bedroom look more polished, according to The National Sleep Foundation, they’ll help you sleep better at night, too.
