1. Cheery Wallpaper: Make your space feel warm and inviting. Vibrant wallpaper helps keep the room looking stylish while doubling to cover any uneven surface you’ve got hidden underneath. (via A Beautiful Mess)

2. Non-Traditional Headboard: Playing with bright and bold colors is a great way to delight guests when they enter the room. Add a non-traditional headboard for a setup that doubles as both wall art and a bed backdrop. (via A Kailo Chic Life)

3. Graphic Shelfie: Position your favorite bedtime mantras above the place they’ll catch their Zzz’s. A shelf is an inexpensive way to display these AND gives a great excuse to go on (another) Etsy spree. (via The Lovely Drawer)

4. Colored Wall: When redoing the entire room is out of the picture, opt for a more minimal approach. Painting one wall achieves a bold statement without *too* much drama. (via Primark)

5. Upholstered Headboard: If you already love your bedding, try switching things up with the headboard. This palm print option is perfect for summer, but we’d settle for ANY of these fab options too. (via Mix and Chic)
