**Step 1: The accent wall**
Apply Tempaper peel-and-stick wallpaper to the wall behind your headboard. Herringbone or linen texture — one accent wall only. Takes about 2 hours for a standard wall.
**Step 2: New bedding stack**
Strip the bed. Layer: Brooklinen percale sheets → Casaluna linen duvet cover → Coyuchi organic throw at the foot. All white/neutral.
**Step 3: Nightstand + lighting**
Place the Hatch Restore 2 on one nightstand. If you need a nightstand, the West Elm Mid-Century is the move.
**Step 4: Window treatment**
Hang the NICETOWN velvet blackout curtains. Mount the rod as close to the ceiling as possible — this makes the room feel taller.
**Step 5: Smart lighting**
Swap overhead bulbs to LIFX smart bulbs. Add Govee LED strip behind the headboard for ambient glow.
**Step 6: Organize + style**
Hang the Umbra Trigem organizer on the closet door for accessories. Place 2-3 stacked books + small plant on the nightstand.
Pro Tips
- Order the wallpaper 2 weeks early. Measure twice. Buy one extra roll.
- The key to expensive-looking bedding: all white/cream, mix textures (percale + linen + waffle), not colors.
- Curtain hack: mount the rod 4-6 inches above the window frame and extend it 6 inches past each side. The window looks 50% bigger.
