1. Pillows, Pillows, Pillows – How many pillows is too many? In my opinion, more the merrier! Adding a couple fun and textured decorative pillows to your made bed will make it look extra inviting. Plus, they can add color and personality when needed. 

2. Add a Mattress Topper – Over time, your mattress may need an upgrade that you’re not financially ready to make. You might have a firm mattress and want something a little softer or vice versa. A mattress topper is the perfect solution! This queen-sized gel topper is less than $100 and makes your bed feel like new.

3. Invest in a Down Comforter – When it comes to your bed, a little investment pays off. A high-quality down comforter will make you feel like you’re in a luxurious hotel room. Try this $230 down comforter from West Elm.

4. Make your Bed Daily – Making your bed every day not only ignites your productivity for the day but it means that it’s made and ready for you to crawl back into that evening. By the time bedtime comes around, your bed looks and feels as good as a hotel, and it only takes a few minutes of your time. 

5. Heated Blankets – If you live in a cooler climate, a heated blanket can make your bed feel like the happiest place on earth. Turn it on about 15 minutes before you get into bed, and it will already be cozy for you.

8. White and Bright – When in doubt, classic white bedding is always a great choice for keeping your bedroom looking and feeling bright and inviting. Adding colorful textiles and other accents give it personality, but with white on white bedding, everything is easy to wash. 

9. Essential Oils – Using a relaxing blend of essential oils in a diffuser can help your bedroom feel incredibly relaxing and encourage you to get a better night sleep.
