Pick Up Knickknacks
A few well-placed funky items give your room personality. Hit up a thrift store or flea market to grab pretty much anything that catches your eye…like a bunch of cool vases.
Add a Punch of Color
The quickest way to change a room is by getting an area rug. It'll add a coziness to your space and look great at the end of your bed. And here's where you can make a real style statement by going with a bold shade — think bright orange or turquoise — instead of the more expected bedroom neutrals.
Show Off Chic Lighting
Framing your bed with a pair of sconces is not only functional, but it also makes your room look pulled-together. Put one on either side of your bed at a height you like. Tip: Find fixtures that mirror something else in your room. For example, if you have a metal bed frame or chair, buy metal sconces.
