Trust me — having your bedroom and living room decorated with cute and comfy things will honestly make it easier to spend time in your home. Think about it: if you stopped staring at overflowing storage next to the sofa or refused to put up with way-too-bright lighting in what should be a relaxing space, you could snuggle up and chill out way more.

There are a ton of surprisingly cheap ways out there to make those spaces look so much nicer with almost no effort, and I found all of them so you can amp up the coziness immediately.

1

Clip These Hidden Straps Onto Fitted Sheets To Keep Them Looking Crisp

These stretchy bed sheet holders will be completely hidden under your mattress, so no one will be able to tell how your bedding always looks so crisp and put-together. Each one comes with three gentle hooks that you can clip onto any of your sheet sets — no matter how much you splurged on them — and they won’t cause holes or tears.

2

Stick These Super Long-Lasting Grippers Onto Your Favorite Area Rugs

Stick these corner-shaped, floor-safe grippers onto the bottom of rugs, and you won’t have to kick or slide a rug back into place multiple times a day or worry about dangerous, unsightly folded-up corners. They come with a sticky double-sided design, and you can even refresh the stickiness if they ever start to peel off of your floor by wiping them with rubbing alcohol.

3

Tuck Messy Socks & Bras In These Easy-To-Use Organizers

5

Illuminate The Area Behind Your TV With These Flexible LEDs
