Wall-mounted lights are a great way to brighten up your room without taking up too much space. We love the idea of choosing a more daring accent. Light, $20, Ikea.
Toss a geometric throw at the foot of your bed for a pop of colour. Extra blankets allow you to switch up your design scheme with relative ease. Knit throw, $25, HomeSense.
Who says garbage pails have to be boring? Stick this in the corner of your bedroom and let its pastel hues sing. Waste bin, $20, Umbra.
Sometimes all it takes to completely transform a space is a small rug. We love how soft the Ikea faux-sheepskin model feels. It also looks great draped over a chair. Sheepskin, $15, Ikea.
Customize your space with the letter of your first name. Or, if you want to splurge, buy a few to create a larger message. Etched letter, $14/each, Urban Outfitters.
We love the pattern and colours etched into the surface of this mirror. DIY addicts can re-create the same effect using washi tape. Printed mirror, $20, Ikea.
Small copper, gold and bronze accessories really elevate a space — without costing you your life savings, that is. Rose gold candle holder, $13, CB2.
Use this multi-functional vase to hold flowers and trinkets, or simply leave it on your dresser to stand alone. Vase, $15, Dwell Studio.
Add an interesting geometric aspect to your dressing table, like this ring holder from Umbra. Ring holder, $10, Umbra.
One of the easiest — and effective — weekend DIY projects is stylized knobs. Switch up your desk, dresser or nightstand for a mixed-and-matched vibe. Knobs, $10/each, Anthropologie.
Not only are trinket dishes handy, they also double as great decor. Use them to collect earrings, hair ties, rings or loose change. Trinket dish, $8, Urban Outfitters.
We're thinking simply here, but sometimes the biggest impact can come from changing your drape hues to something more monochromatic. Curtains, $10, Ikea.
Like knobs, hooks are a quick fix for a drab bedroom. Hang one (or a couple) of these along your wall to hold bags, jewelry and scarves. Hooks, $22/each, West Elm.
Brighten up your walls with a cheery print. Who knows — it might just help you get out of bed on a Monday morning! Rifle Paper art print, $25, Indigo.
This jewellery stand is so versatile you could display it alone as a decorative object, or use it to stash earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Jewellery stand, $25, Umbra.
