I am a "Judy" of all trades who writes about pretty much everything, but specializes in sexual wellness, personal care, plus-size fashion, maximalist home goods, and gnarly before and after pics!

1. A cotton percale sheet set featuring a bold floral print that effortlessly introduces some color into your bedroom without making a permanent commitment. And the cozy, breathable material will keep you comfy year-round!

Anthropologie

Promising review: "These are quality sheets. They are made of the best cotton and are so comfortable and cozy. I never want to get out of bed!" —jazi

Get it from Anthropologie for $58+ (available in five sizes and 28 colors/prints).

2. A bouclé platform bed, so you can finally get your mattress off the floor. The textured aesthetic will amplify the rest of your bedroom decor, and in true platform bed style, it has a slatted base, meaning you won't have to break the bank on buying a box spring to go with it!

Urban Outfitters

This piece is made to order and may take up to five weeks to ship.

Get it from Urban Outfitters for$1,899+ (available in full–king sizes and four colors).

3. A round modular stacking unitif you've been searching for the perfect bedside storage option that won't be an eyesore and has enough room for your TBR collection, an emotional support water bottle, and all your other bedtime essentials.

Allmodern

Promising review: "I have wanted this versatile piece for a really long time. I went with the red, and its glossy finish is almost as thrilling as a little sports car. It's going to be a nightstand for now, but I could see it having a thousand other purposes." —Tina

Get it from AllModern for $164+ (available in four sizes and 12 colors).

4. A set of room-darkening velvet curtains, which offer a luxe, expensive look to your living space while also blocking out *all* the natural light flooding in from outside when it's time to binge-watch or enjoy a movie marathon. They also look fantastic when not in use!

www.amazon.com

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!" —Placeholder

Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five sizes and nine colors).

5. A set of sheer curtain panels with a crushed texture for a unique window covering that filters natural light into your bedroom beautifully while still offering a bit of privacy.

Nordstrom Rack

Get a set of two from Nordstrom Rack for $32.97+ (originally $32.97; available in five colors).

6. A donut lamp to deliver the warm, cozy glow of the Krispy Kreme "hot light" thanks to built-in LED lights. Plus, the wall-mounted option offers a certain je ne sais quois to any bedroom without taking up too much space.

Ikea

The lamp can be mounted or placed on a tabletop as a standalone!

Promising review: "The Varmblixt is my favorite lamp I‘ve owned. It provides just enough light to fill a room, but only enough to feel warm and cozy! Hygge at its best! I own two now, one for home and one for my office." —Richard

Get it from Ikea for $99.99.

7. A full-length standing mirror featuring an arched head-to-toe design and wavy velvet frame that'll make your #OOTD selfies *pop.*

Walmart

Get it from Walmart for $99.99+ (originally $139.99+; available in three colors).

8. A statement-making upholstered headboard designed with built-in floating shelves, so you can get rid of your boring nightstand, but still have a place for a reading lamp or alarm clock.

Article

Promising review: "Gorgeous! Looks exactly like the pictures and adds so much to the room. I left the shelves off and placed bigger nightstands in front, and it looks amazing. Highly recommend!" —Maya F.

Get it from Article for $229+ (available in four sizes, in fabric or velvet, and two colors) 

9. A Monet-inspired wall tapestry that'll deliver a museum-quality touch to your bedroom with its bold colors and eye-catching scenery. This piece is easy to hang on its own for a boho look or put it in a frame to make it look more expensive and luxe!

Amazon

Promising review: "Did a bedroom makeover and it’s a hit! My son loves it. The fabric is lightweight, large, and of great quality. I washed it before hanging, and it kept its shape. Easy to clean, colors are bright where it’s supposed to be and vibrant. Overall, this tapestry is true to its description. Would definitely purchase again." —JustAGirl

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and three styles).

10. A handcrafted hardwood dresser, because it's so dang hard to find a quality dresser these days. Keep your clothes organized with this artisan-quality dresser that will last for generations and bring together the rest of your bedroom decor with a sophisticated finish.

The Citizenry

Get it from The Citizenry for $3,469 (available in three finishes).

11. A splurge-worthy sateen sheet set by Brooklinen, which boasts a breathable cotton fabric that feels ridiculously soft like your favorite pair of pajamas...probably why there are over 19,000 5-star reviews!

Brooklinen

Promising review: "These sheets feel incredibly soft and luxurious with a smooth, hotel-quality finish. They fit my mattress perfectly, have held up well after washing, and get even more comfortable over time. If you like crisp, high-end cotton sheets with a silky feel, the Original Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set is absolutely worth it." —Ali L.

Get a sheet set from Booklinen for $135.20+ (typically $169+; available in twin–California king and 22 styles).

12. A customizable Pluto Pillow— it's designed with a bouncy foam core that stays cool through the night and offers the kind of support you need based on how you sleep. Get started with the three-minute questionnaire to get your personal pillow created!

Pluto

Promising review: "This is the first time in many years that I’ve been able to get a restful night's sleep and not wake up with shoulder stiffness and neck pain. I have tried many brands of pillows over the years with mixed success. Basically, nothing I could find would give me the firmness, support, and loft that I needed for a comfortable night's sleep. I had never heard of Pluto before, but I figured I would give it a try, and boy, I’m glad I did. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with my pillow. I really liked the process of building my own pillow to my needs. For a company to take time to develop, that left me with hope that there was a company out there that truly cared. Thank you so much for a great product." —Gunnar C.

Get it from Pluto for $149+ (available in two sizes).

13. A no-drill elaborate jewelry tree organizer, which is the perfect storage solution for any jewelry lover because of its use of ✨vertical space.✨ Display your favorite necklaces, earrings, and bracelets near your vanity or dresser with the 12 rotating "branches" and know that not a single piece will end up tangled.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

All Hung Upis a small business! There are 12 rotating branches and 120 earring holes. If you have a lot of heavy jewelry, reviewers note you might need stronger Command strips than the ones that are included.

Promising review: "The small business owner who came up with this is an absolute genius! I am disabled and in a hospital bed. I have limited space for jewelry boxes and the like, but I wanted to get some cute, inexpensive earrings and bracelets. I found them on Amazon, of course, and then stumbled upon this gem. Easy enough for even me to install from my bed, on the wall to my left, which is flush to my bed! I cannot recommend this enough!" —Dara

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

14. An organic cotton box quilt just perfect for hot sleepers who want something heavy, but still breathable and cozy when it's time to snooze. Personally, I prefer a quilt over a comforter or duvet — especially in the summer!

Quince

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love the texture, look, feel. I have been looking for the perfect one, and I definitely picked the right one. I highly recommend and will replace all my quilts with this." —Cheryl B.

"Love the weight and loftiness of this quilt. Not too heavy but not too light…. perfect for all seasons." —Melanie G.

Get it from Quince for $129.90+ (typically $259+; available in twin–California king sizes, 10 colors, and with or without a sham set).

Promising review: "I first saw this lamp at a friend’s friend’s house and immediately knew I wanted one too. After using it for half a year, I’m still very happy with my purchase! It provides plenty of light while creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in the room. The interchangeable filters are a nice touch — I like switching them out occasionally to keep things fresh, and having three sets included is really convenient. Assembly was quick and straightforward, which is always a plus." —D.

Get it from Amazon for $119.99

16. An unimposing storage bed frame with rounded corners and a plush headboard that makes sure you get your money's worth with a roomy storage space underneath the mattress slats. A hydraulic mechanism makes it easy to open and close, so you'll have no trouble swapping out bedding each season.

Get it from Sundays for $2,590+ (available in Queen and King sizes, four colors, and without storage).

17. A wooden perfume tray for displaying your go-to accessories, skincare or beauty products in style. The abstract cloud shape brings some whimsy to your vanity or dresser, but just imagine taking your makeup and earrings off at the end of the night and placing them on this beautiful tray!

It also features a silent HEPA filtration system to help reduce dirt, allergens, and pollen in the air. Get ready to wake up better and breathe better, all because of one nifty, budget-friendly super gadget.

The alarm sounds include rain, bird songs, harmonic light, and meadow notes.

"For our child's room, it fits great on an upper shelf. The extra USB port is useful for a nanny cam, too. The app is helpful for scheduling fan speeds. It works as a great light too when getting ready for bed or reading. The form factor is just what I was looking for." —Amazon Customer

21. An iconic, splurge-worthy Thuma classic bed frame, which gained notoriety for its tool-free assembly and sturdy Japanese-inspired joinery that slides into place for a sturdy and durable foundation. I have personally put together and slept on two of these bed frames with the pillowboard, and they are INCREDIBLE.

Thuma

Promising review: "Bought this to put under my window looking out into the backyard into the trees. It’s lovely. Very sturdy. I got the beige, the material is great. It was packaged in one piece. Finally had something I didn’t have to put together, lol — that was nice. Went to my niece's home in another state and she had one in a different color in her entryway. She used it as a seat to put on shoes and take off shoes when entering her home. Great minds and all that. It looks great in her home too. Can recommend without hesitation." —Katharine
