These genius bedroom products are the ultimate upgrades to help you ditch the mess and start fresh without a total renovation. From blackout curtains for a deeper sleep to drawer organizers and furniture touch-up sticks, we found the clever fixes reviewers say may help save your space and your sanity. Take a peek at the life-changing finds ahead!
1. Electrical Outlet Cover with Power Strip
An electrical outlet cover with a power strip can help organize cluttered cords. It’s also pretty great if you want to push your furniture right up against the wall but can’t because your phone charger adapter is in the way.
This product is available on Amazon for $21.95+ (available in four lengths and two styles). A promising review shared by Chashum states:
“I have an outlet above our mantel that’s meant for a wall-mounted TV. We have a large painting covering it. We wanted to use the plug to power two Wi-Fi speakers on the long mantel. The thinness of the plug is perfect behind the painting. The power strip is hidden by a mantel clock. So, we have two speakers on either side and no visible wires. This product may not work for every application, but for us, it’s 10 stars.”
2. Expandable Honeycomb Drawer Organizer
An expandable honeycomb drawer organizer helps you find a matching pair of socks. This product is available on Amazon for $9.05+ (available in two-packs).
A promising review from Brigette says:
“OK, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but…it’s totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had neatly organized, easy to find… Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well-made and super easy to assemble.”
3. Shelf Dividers
A pack of shelf dividers helps organize your clothes into neat and distinct piles. These dividers provide stability for soft clothes (and even books and handbags) that tend to fall over into one big pile of mess.
Available on Amazon for $17.99. A promising review from Pathfndr shares:
“These work great! They work so well that I installed them and forgot them. My bureau is pretty deep, and my clothes would all fall on top of each other and become a big mess. Now I’m pretty organized with my T-shirts.”
4. Floral Wall Decals
A pack of floral wall decals adds fun to your bedroom without the stress of waiting for paint to dry. Available on Amazon for $17.99+ (available in many styles).
A promising review from Ms. Nicole Fl says:
“My 10-year-old daughter wanted a ‘botanical’ bedroom, and this was the perfect addition. It is a wonderful alternative to vines that need dusting or plants that need to be watered. I was a little hesitant at first that it would not be able to adjust, but it was very easy to reapply edges, and everything lined up perfectly.”
5. Blackout Curtains
A set of blackout curtains blocks 85% to 99% of light from entering your room, reduces noise, and regulates temperature. Available on Amazon for $9.97+ (available in many sizes and colors).
A promising review from MallardTop says:
“I don’t know why I didn’t buy these years ago. I live in a dorm with old curtains that barely helped block the parking lot light at night, let alone the blazing morning sun out of my east-facing room. I got these curtains and can now get my room pitch dark at night and darker than I had ever had it before, even with the harshest light.”
6. Touch-Up Paint Pen
A touch-up paint pen fills in minor chips or paint over stains in tight areas. Available on Amazon for $14.99.
A promising review from Elizabeth states:
“Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son’s bedroom corner walls.”
7. Dual-Zone Comforter
A dual-zone comforter keeps the peace in the literal and figurative marital bed. Available on Amazon for $134.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
A promising review from Hannah says:
“This comforter is what we’ve always needed. My husband and I are always tangled in blankets because I need more, but they always end up on his side. This comforter provides an all-in-one solution that keeps me warm and him cool and our bedroom looking calm and zen.”
8. Fluffy Comforter
A velvety soft and oh-so snuggly fluffy comforter keeps you warm and cozy. Available on Amazon for $35.90+ (available in six colors and six other sizes).
A promising review from Dedewi states:
“Can’t say enough good things about this comforter! It is beautiful in color, as well as super soft and cozy! The price made it super affordable for anyone wanting a great piece of inexpensive bedding.”
9. Double-Sided Shaggy Faux-Fur Duvet Set
Plus a double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set for really upping the “snug as a bug in a rug” vibes in your room. Available on Amazon for $32.49+ (available in sizes Twin–King and 27 colors).
A promising review from Sk says:
“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’s seriously so cozy and well-made.”
10. Slicker Brush
A slicker brush restores cashmere, faux fur, sheepskin, wool, and more. Available on Amazon for $17.99.
A promising review from Renee says:
“Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, ‘Ew. What the heck did I just step on?’ Because of the dye, we can’t just wash them or get them too wet.”
11. WD-40 Pen
A WD-40 pen gives you the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver, precise pen tip. Available on Amazon for $12.49.
A promising review from BBP623 states:
“I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, I have cleaned Sharpie off wood and walls, and of course, to stop squeaky doors. These small, direct-point application pens are great.”
12. Wood Polish and Conditioner
A wood polish and conditioner revives your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets, bed frame, and armoire. Available on Amazon for $10.98.
A promising review from Lisa McCool says:
“What is this sorcery?! I’ve been slowly replacing my hand-me-down furniture with mid-century beauties. The pieces I can afford are in good but not perfect shape. There are scratches, dents, scuffs, etc. This stuff is MAGIC.”
13. Furniture Touch-Up Sticks
A pack of furniture touch-up sticks helps fix little scratches on your bedroom surfaces. Available on Amazon for $9.99.
A promising review from SR says:
“I. LOVE. THESE. MARKERS!! I bought this because I was using a brown Sharpie on my coffee table, which was getting chips from normal wear and tear. The Sharpie would always rub off over time, and of course, it was not exactly a color match.”
14. Baseboard Buddy
A Baseboard Buddy makes cleaning easy when the dust and cobwebs are up high or down low, thanks to its 4-foot extendable pole. Available on Amazon for $24.99.
A promising review from Suziehomemaker states:
“This was so easy to put together. I sprayed it with my favorite counter spray and did all the baseboards, door, and window frames on my first floor in under 15 minutes!! That’s three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen/dining room, a living room, a hallway, and a mud room in under 15 minutes.”
15. Velvet Headboard Cover
A velvet headboard cover with storage pockets helps update your headboard for a great price. Available on Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
A promising review from Mary says:
“My headboard is only a few years old, but my cats had pulled a bit and left damage. I was looking around to replace it and then found this. It is perfect for what I was looking for.”
16. Blind Cleaner Brush
A blind cleaner brush makes cleaning your blinds easier. Available on Amazon for $6.99.
A promising review from KB says:
“This isn’t going to make you like cleaning your blinds, but it does make the process suck a lot less. I was shocked and frankly a little horrified at how much dust this little contraption pulled off the (horizontal) blinds in my bedroom.”
17. Privacy Window Film
A privacy window film adds privacy to your bedrooms and creates beautiful sun-cast rainbows. Available on Amazon for $5.94+ (available in 11 sizes).
A promising review from Alexa states:
“I messed this up, and it STILL ended up looking amazing. The installation was super easy, and it is a great renter-friendly option.”
18. Alexa-Compatible Smart Plug
An Alexa-compatible smart plug turns your bedroom into a relaxing oasis. Available on Amazon for $24.99.
A promising review from Oliva Hasenkamp states:
“Setup was incredibly simple — I had both plugs up and running in just a few minutes using the Alexa app. They connect seamlessly with Alexa, so I can control lamps and appliances with just my voice or through routines.”
19. Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
A peel-and-stick wallpaper transforms a plain white wall or an ugly chest of drawers. Available on Amazon for $72.98 (available in smaller sizes).
A promising review from Giselle Derun states:
“I used this peel-and-stick wallpaper to transform my headboard area, and it turned out really nice. It was easy to apply and stuck well without bubbles.”
20. Bissell Little Green Machine
A Bissell Little Green machine cleans deeply and erases any sign of your pet’s (and baby’s) messes. Available on Amazon for $129.99 (also available in a Mini and Deluxe style).
A promising review from Family states:
“We have a small couch in our bedroom, and our littlest will sleep there sometimes and has had a few accidents on the couch, so now it has a urine smell.”
21. Bissell Carpet and Floor Sweeper
A Bissell carpet and floor sweeper offers quick and quiet cleaning sessions. Available on Amazon for $34.99.
A promising review from S. Creager-Conley states:
“As a temporary measure, we ordered this little sweeper. It was remarkable! Cleaned up all the dog hair on the plank flooring as well as the hair on the bedroom carpets.”
22. Bed Bands
A set of bed bands prevents your sheets from slipping and sliding. Available on Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors, two lengths, and multi-packs).
A promising review from David K states:
“After giving Bed Band a try, our fitted sheet slipping problem is solved! The clamp design grips like iron, but the best part is the adjustable bands that allow for a quick final fit after installing the clamps.”
23. Elegant-Looking Bed Skirt
An elegant-looking bed skirt hides shoes, out-of-season clothing, extra linens, and anything else that you’d rather not leave out for everyone to see. Available on Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 12 colors and 5 sizes).
A promising review from Dennis E. Marquardt states:
“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.”
24. Vinyl Record Shelf
A vinyl record shelf shows off your fave photos, knickknacks, concert tickets, and more in a unique way. Available on Etsy for $16 (available in nine colors).
A promising review from Tori Pierce states:
“In love with my vinyl shelf. It’s going to look great hanging above my player and vinyl collection. I will be ordering a couple more soon.”
25. Cooling Pillows
A set of two cooling pillows provides the ideal level of support for back, stomach, and side sleepers. Available on Amazon for $59.99+ (available in queen and king).
A promising review from Sarah Benjamin states:
“My massage therapist suggested these to me, and I am so thankful! I always thought I liked firm pillows, but I apparently do not! These are so plush yet supportive.”
26. Light-Dimming Stickers
A pack of light-dimming stickers helps prevent bright alarm clocks and flashing electronics from distracting you from sleep. Available on Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a blackout version).
A promising review from Amazon Customer states:
“This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I’ve blocked the light with a cover so it doesn’t shine in my eyes as I sleep.”
27. Fabric Defuzzer
A fabric defuzzer removes lint, pilling, loose strands, and fuzz from your upholstered headboard/bed frame, blankets, bedding, mattress, and pillows. Available on Amazon for $7.55+ (available in white and lilac).
A promising review from MK states:
“OMG!! This fabric shaver is the best thing since sliced bread! I was skeptical at first, but then today, I shaved all of those pesky pills on one of the twin mattresses in our guest bedroom that had pills all over it.”
