This post is all about bedroom must haves.

1. Book vase

I have always been the girl to have flowers in her room, real or fake (seasonal allergies suck) they always add some beautiful color to your room and make me feel more feminine. Not many people think this but adding an aesthetic vase for those flowers will always bring a chic pop to your room you did not know you needed!

These are also AMAZING for book lovers like myself!

2. Marble tray

Having a beautiful marble tray such as these definitely makes a cute little home and area for your jewelry trays, perfumes, books, candles, etc.. there are so many super cute ways you can customize these to your liking!

3. Full body mirror

Okay but we all most definitely look in the mirror at least once a day… right? Knowing myself I feel like a check every 10 minutes because I like to remind myself I’m pretty or I look presentable!

4. Vanity mirror with different light settings

I love these, I am living my modern day Marilyn Monroe moment. Who doesn’t love that? The more feminine energy around, the better!

5. Curtains

Curtains change the look and the feel of your room in so many MAJOR ways.You can always go simple with curtain and curtain rod choices or you can always go the extra mile and add dimension for more of a pop if that suits you!

6. Night Light Outlet

Here is an embarrassing fact about me, I’m 23 years old and I am PETRIFIED of the dark, doesn’t make too much sense when you’re a night owl… but hey, different is better!

Also, it’s a win-win that you get extra outlet space 🙂

7. LED sign

To those girlies who are night owls, just like me, investing in a beautiful LED sign is a must! Think about the vibe when you are having a movie night or binge watching a show. A soft glowing sign will always add the atmosphere you need to wind down.

8. Cloud bed dupe

Spending well over $2,000 on a bed frame (if it is your first) is criminal! I myself had the original cloud bed and the dupe version, both are sooo cute and very comfortable so I definitely recommend them, especially for the “it” girls!

9. Thick knitted blanket

Girls will be girls they say, and as one of those girls, there are no such things as way too many blankets. It should be illegal to not have too many!

10. Ottoman

This has so many uses and I mean SO MANY! 

This can serve as extra storage, extra seating, another stand to keep books, drinks, etc., you can even dress it up with a marble tray or blanket!

11. Area Rug

If you need a cute area rug, I have got you covered! 

If you are looking for something aesthetically pleasing and offered in many different colors, these are definitely for you!

12. Collapsable fan

For the hot sleepers, don’t worry I have the most amazing solution for you! You can collapse it, slide it under your bed or store it away in your closet with ease and out of sight!

13. Candle warmer

If you are like me and terrifies to burn the house down, this is the solution to that problem! 

Simple set your candle on and turn on the heating light and all of a sudden your room smells amazing without flame!

14. Candle

You always need candles, if its for the scent or the aesthetic look, both of these options smell so good, but can get a little pricey, but I found two that I will forever use and never let go of.

15. Blanket warmer

Even in the summertime I find my bedroom freezing cold… almost too cold! So throwing your favorite blanket into one of these will make that book/movie that much better!

16. Trash can

Always ALWAYS have a lid on your trash can, you never know if your room is too humid or the smell will travel. 

But I put in some work and found two amazing options, one with a sensor and automatic lid that is both aesthetically pleasing and no smell will spill out!

17. Bluetooth pillow speaker

This is amazing, love love LOVE this gadget. Only you will be able to hear this, if you are trying to fall asleep, relaxing, reading, etc. only the person laying on the pillow will hear the noise and it is definitely something to invest in!

18. Calming noise speaker

Falling asleep to the sounds of nature is the best way to fall asleep, the sounds of soft or hard rain, bon fires, storms, the beach, the options are endless. 

19. Bamboo mattress

As someone with the worst allergies, investing into one of these mattresses will be the best thing you have ever done! These are known to help with allergies with their properties.

20. Plants

Just like flowers, artificial plants are your best friend! Lots of us girls are allergic to real plants and these two are definitely my favorite!

21. Rotating jewelry stand

This is perfect for showcasing and organizing your jewelry in an amazing and fun way! 

This also makes a perfect gift for that special woman in your life too!

22. Mushroom lamp

I have both of these on my desk, they take turns while lit up, but I do love the little pricier one so much more, it looks beautiful and I did the work and found the best of the best!

23. Wax melter

This this this this THIS! 

I love these so much, as mentioned earlier in this article I have a fear of using flame in the bedroom because burning the house down is terrifying, haha thanks mum!

24. Textured wall paper

I am all about adding extra dimension to a space and this is one of the best ways to do it! Adding easy stick and easy removable textured wallpaper is life changing!

25. Desk

If you are working from home, or a student, this is an absolute must have! You can have your own little space away from everything else! 

Plus there are endless sizes and super cute options! 

26. Night stand

This is always needed next to your bed!

I don’t think you leave your drinks, phones, books and other decor in your bed with you! It’s a win win because it’s aesthetically pleasing and provides more storage space in your room!

27. Crystal ball lamp

These are incredibly cute! It adds a cute and simple touch to your room that you didn’t know you needed!

28. Humidifier

These anti – gravity ones are so cool! I still don’t know how its engineered to look like floating water and also give your body amazing benefits, but I am a firm believer of investing into one of these, it looks super calming, makes you feel good and doesn’t look like a block on your floor!

29. Bed table

Sometimes I want to work at night or snack during a movie and this is my saving grace! 

Who doesn’t love turning something on and getting work done or eating something delicious without having a worry of making a mess as there is something very sturdy holding your items!

30. Smooth fabric sheets

I love the feeling of silk or soft fabric on my skin, specifically when I have just shaved my legs! (I can’t be the only one like this right?)

31. Table lamp

You are going to need some lighting to decorate those night stands! With endless styles and colors I found two that are definitely fighting for first place on my lighting must haves for my room!

32. Display shelf for perfume

Imagine being so extra you buy a perfume display shelf to feel like a total diva (yes I just threw myself under the bus, whoopsies) 

This just ties your area together and looks so much cleaner!

33. Digital clock

Sometimes my ADHD plays tricks on me and all of a sudden I can’t read a clock. Girls with ADHD, you know exactly what I am talking about!

34. Pillows

If you are the person who likes to feel refreshed in the morning, you NEED either of these! These feel so good and so amazing, once I wake up I feel refreshed, my neck isn’t tense at all! 

These are also amazing if you get migraines too, hi migraine girlies!

35. Wall art

This is perfect for any room that is what I love the most about these!

Personally, I change my wall art frequently, not too frequently, more like seasonally, haha!

36. Decorative books

To the chic girlies, this is a must have! Nothing will pull a room together like cute decorative books! 

I found a few options that have amazing different color options to pull any room together seamlessly!
