Is your sleeping space currently looking more like a cluttered storage unit than a relaxing sanctuary? If your "haven" is actually a collection of tangled cords and lumpy pillows, it might be time for a change. 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. An electrical outlet cover with a power strip to organize cluttered cords stat. 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.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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." —Chashum

Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in four lengths and two styles).

2. An expandable honeycomb drawer organizer, because you know what's really cool? Being able to find a matching pair of socks.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." —Brigette

Get it from Amazon for $9.05+ (available in two-packs).

3. A pack of shelf dividers for organizing 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.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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." —Pathfndr

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

4. A pack of floral wall decals if you've been watching home makeover shows before bed, and now you fancy yourself a bit of an interior decorator. These peel-and-stick flowers provide all the fun of a big reveal without the stress of literally waiting for paint to dry.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers recommend mapping out where you want the stickers before placing them, as the adhesive is quite sticky.

Promising review: "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. The background is transparent, but the image is bold enough to show up against her blue walls. We do have textured walls, so we used a tennis ball to roll over the decal as well as a soft cloth over the squeegee. The background looked like it just disappeared into the wall! We are so happy!! Now I want to buy decals for my classroom!" —Ms. Nicole Fl

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in many styles).

5. A set of blackout curtains that'll 1) block 85% to 99% of light from entering your room, 2) reduce noise, and 3) regulate the temperature so it's cool in the summer and hot in the winter. Prepare for the best sleep of your life!

www.amazon.com

If you don't want to drill into the wall to install curtains, we recommend going with either a tension rod, Command hooks, or brackets that connect to existing blinds.

Promising review: "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. The curtain itself lights up a little with the most direct sunlight, but it is still easy to sleep through and doesn't ever wake me up. One of the best decisions ever, and I have no complaints." —MallardTop

Get them from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in so many sizes and colors).

6. A touch-up paint pen so you can fill in minor chips or paint over stains in tight areas where a larger brush simply wouldn't fit. It's also great for detail work; reviewers rave about it, especially for line and stencil work.

www.amazon.com

Slobproof is a woman-owned small business.

Promising reviews: "Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son's bedroom corner walls." —Elizabeth

"Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works OK." —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99.

7. A dual-zone comforter to keep the peace in the literal and figurative marital bed. No more fighting over someone hogging the blankets or turning on the AC overnight even though it's 40 degrees outside. Now everyone can be happy with their own side!

Amazon

Promising review: "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." —Hannah

Get it from Amazon for $134.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

8. Or a velvety soft and oh-so snuggly fluffy comforter because your threadbare blankets aren't keeping you warm and cozy enough.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. I am so happy with this that I purchased a second one for my daughter, and I am considering a third one. Just love it!!" —Dedewi

Get a queen from Amazon for $35.90+ (available in six colors and six other sizes).

9. Plus a double-sided shaggy faux-fur duvet set for really upping the "snug as a bug in a rug" vibes in your room.

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 the 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's seriously so cozy and well-made. My only complaint would be how hard this 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. Super soft, and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —Sk

Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in sizes Twin–King and 27 colors).

10. A slicker brush if your fave fuzzy blanket or rug started out so cozy and plush, but now the once-fluffy fabric is clumpy, matted, and not so soft. This genius brush is designed to restore cashmere, faux fur, sheepskin, wool, and more, so it feels (and looks!) new again.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

11. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) that'll give 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. The whiny hinges on my bedroom door and sticky drawers are shaking!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." —BBP623

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.49.

12. A wood polish and conditioner so you can revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets, bed frame, and armoire as quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood or furniture piece, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. It doesn't help the physical dents, obviously, but it virtually erases the color defects so your eyes don't even register the damage. I bought this after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article about must-have household care products, and this really is essential. After I used it on my bedroom suite, I tried it on my door frames, and WOW. My house is old, built in the '60s, and the tired, worn-down wood has come back to life! This is a long-term relationship, and I will always have some on hand." —Lisa McCool

Get it from Amazon for $10.98.

13. Or a pack of furniture touch-up sticks if your bedroom surfaces have lots of little scratches you've been strategically ignoring. 

www.amazon.com

Includes six repair markets, six paper-wrapped wax sticks, and one wax stick sharpener packaged in a blister card. 

Promising review: "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. I bought these on a whim, and WOW— they are amazing! Even the black worked SO much better on my black bedroom furniture than a normal black Sharpie. These are buildable, so you can start with a semi-transparent, lighter mark, and you can build it up darker as you continue to go over it. (NOTE: I have not even tried the crayons yet because the markers are SO good!)" —SR

Get a pack of 13 from Amazon for $9.99.

14. A Baseboard Buddy because it makes cleaning easy when the dust and cobwebs are up high or down low, thanks to its 4-foot extendable pole. Don't be too slow to add this to your cart! Your dirty baseboards, ceiling fans, grates, and molding are quaking.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry. 

Promising review: "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. It used to take me almost half a day, and I had very sore knees and back. I even dusted the tops of some picture frames. Very easy to rinse off when I was done. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to cut time on cleaning and for people who can't/don't want to bend over, kneel down/get on a step stool or ladder." —Suziehomemaker

Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 

15. A velvet headboard cover with storage pockets (!) for anyone whose cats have scratched up their leather headboards, but a full new headboard is not in the budget. This is also great if you're looking to redo your bed on the cheap!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. I was able to update the headboard for a great price. I love the softness of the material, and I did not have any issue pulling the cover on. The color is a lovely chocolate and matches my bedding. I did brown over brown, but I think this is thick enough to cover if you are changing the color. I had no idea this even existed, and they are such a great option to update your bedroom for a great price." —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

16. A blind cleaner brush if you don't have the time or energy to clean each blind individually. Work smarter not harder!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. The package comes with 5 of the cloth covers, which I thought was a bit excessive, but then I went through 3 of them on 3 sets of blinds! They cleaned up in the washing machine well, so I expect them to last a while, too (I line-dried them). I would buy this handy device again, especially for the price." —KB

Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

17. A privacy window film to a) add a little privacy to your bedrooms, and b) create beautiful sun-cast rainbows in your new sanctuary.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I messed this up, and it STILL ended up looking amazing. The installation was super easy, and it is a great renter-friendly option. I live next to an Airbnb and needed privacy for the window (which, of course, happened to be my bedroom) that faced it. Honestly, I was in love with it the moment I got it up! The way this filters light is beautiful, casting soft rainbows on the floor. It also came with a lot more than I actually needed, so I kept some stored away in the event that I might need to reapply, but I actually never did. 10000/10 will buy again for other windows." —Alexa

Get it from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in 11 sizes).

18. An Alexa-compatible smart plug so your bedroom is truly a relaxing oasis. Now you can turn on the lights, start the ceiling fan, control a humidifier or dehumidifier, you name it — from your bed! Tell me why I'm absolutely fighting to keep my eyes open while reading in bed, but as soon as I make the two-second walk to turn off the lights and get back in bed, I'm not tired anymore. 

www.amazon.com

You can even grab one for your coffee machine and start brewing before you get out of bed in the morning!

Promising review: "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. These smart plugs work reliably and have opened up so many possibilities around the house. I love being able to schedule lights, automate fans, and even control things when I’m away from home. They’re compact, unobtrusive, and haven’t caused any connectivity issues. Super affordable for a two-pack and extremely user-friendly. Perfect for anyone looking to start or expand their smart home setup!" —Oliva Hasenkamp

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

19. A peel-and-stick wallpaper to zhuzh up a plain white wall — or even an ugly chest of drawers.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. It changed the look of the room in a simple and affordable way. Really happy with the result." —Giselle Derun

Get a roll (94 square feet) from Amazon for $72.98 (available in smaller sizes).

20. A Bissell Little Green machine because your poor bedroom carpet has borne the brunt of your pet's midnight accidents. This portable upholstery and carpet cleaner cleans deeply, penetrating household fabrics and even car interiors to erase any sign of your pet's (and baby's) messes.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. I honestly went over the couch about four times, and each time, the water came back up brown! After the fourth time, though, the urine smell is finally just about gone, with the exception of one small spot (instead of the entire couch cushion)! I quickly went to clean our ivory cushion dining room chairs, and I didn't realize how dirty they even were until I cleaned them. More brown water! This is a great buy if you have kids and pets." —Family

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (also available in a Mini and Deluxe style).

21. A Bissell carpet and floor sweeper for quick and quiet cleaning sessions. It cleans without electricity (just run it over pet hair, crumbs, dirt, etc.), so it's not loud or heavy due to cords and large vacuum bags.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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." —S. Creager-Conley

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

22. A set of bed bands if your sheets slip and slide if you even look at them wrong.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We have a rather deep mattress and added a memory foam topper, which gave our fitted sheet a real stretch to be able to securely tuck in the corners and not slip off. It would hold some of the time, but we frequently had a corner or two slip off during the night. 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. This makes for a much simpler installation, and with a product that, by its nature, needs to be removed and reinstalled repeatedly (sheet washing), ease of installation is critical. Bed Bands is the clear design winner for function and ease of installation. A stellar product design at an affordable price!" —David K

Get a pack of four bands from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors, two lengths, and multi-packs).

23. An elegant-looking bed skirt that'll hide shoes, out-of-season clothing, extra linens, and anything else that you'd rather not leave out for everyone to see.

Amazon

Not that you need a bed skirt to store things under your bed! This will just help conceal any cluttered messes down there! 

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 12 colors and 5 sizes).

24. A vinyl record shelf so you can show off your fave photos, knickknacks, concert tickets, and more, in a unique way.

Sarah's Sunny Sundays / Etsy

Sarah's Sunny Sundays is a small business based in Chicago.

Promising review: "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. You won't regret buying. Thank you!" —Tori Pierce

Get it from Sarah's Sunny Sundays on Etsy for $16 (available in nine colors).

25. A set of two cooling pillows to save you from making hot-headed decisions...like *not* buying them. Inside is a plush gel fiber that provides the ideal level of support to back, stomach, and side sleepers. And they're machine washable as well as stain- and fade-resistant.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. You can move them around to the exact position or level of support needed. My fiancé has also ditched his firm pillow for this pillow. Seriously, the best pillow I’ve ever owned." —Sarah Benjamin

Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in queen and king).

These won our budget pick for best pillow!

26. A pack of light-dimming stickers because bright alarm clocks and flashing electronics shouldn't distract you from sleep.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "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. Silly, I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim, I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER, I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, but this product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs, I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Amazon Customer

Get a sheet of more than 100 stickers of varying shapes and sizes on Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a blackout version). These larger dimming sheets from Amazon are $8.99 for two 6-by-3-inch stickers and work wonders if you're trying to cover a larger surface area, like a clock face.

27. A fabric defuzzer to remove lint, pilling, loose strands, and fuzz that's magically accumulated on your upholstered headboard/bed frame, blankets, bedding, mattress, and pillows. It has a handy lint catcher as well as three settings so you can choose how close of a shave you want.

www.amazon.com

The battery-operated style requires two AA batteries, which are not included.

Promising review: "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. It worked so well and was so easy, I started taking sheets off of all our beds and started 'shaving' the 'pills and pulls.' If you have fuzz balls on things that look so horrible you want to throw them away, don't! Get this little fabric shaver and 'shave' away...lol." —MK

Get it from Amazon for $7.55+ (available in white and lilac).
