Ambient Lighting
Lighting sets the tone, literally. These options add warmth, softness, and a touch of magic to your space—perfect for winding down after a long day or creating a vibe when friends are over.
This thing gives off the softest, warmest glow. I keep one by my bed and it kind of signals to my brain like, “Hey, let’s wind down now”

Okay, not just for dorms. I have these hanging around my mirror and honestly, they make the room feel a little dreamy—like a good Instagram filter but IRL.
Firefly String Lights
Plush Textiles
I used to think throw blankets were just decorative, but then I got a really good one. Now I’m one of those people who always has a blanket on the couch and a fluffy rug by the bed. It makes everything feel softer—literally and emotionally.
This is one of those blankets that just looks cozy even when you’re not using it. I curl up in it for movie nights or when I’m reading. It’s heavy in the best way.
Chunky Knit Throw Blanket
I put this on the side of my bed and stepping on it in the morning is the nicest little treat. It’s like, “Hey, today might not suck after all.”

Natural Elements
There’s just something about adding wood or greenery (real or fake) that makes a space feel grounded. I’m not a plant expert at all, but even a tiny faux plant can make a shelf or corner look like you’ve got your life together.
This one’s fake, but it’s cute and zero stress. I popped it on my kitchen windowsill and it instantly made the space feel brighter.
Indoor Potted Plant
I use this on my coffee table to wrangle all the random stuff—remotes, candles, mugs. It makes the mess look kind of… intentional?
Wooden Serving Tray
Scented Comfort
A good scent changes everything. I used to only light candles on weekends, but now I’m kind of obsessed with having my space smell like eucalyptus or vanilla all the time. It’s such an easy vibe upgrade.
Smells so good without being overpowering. I burn this while I journal or when I’m cleaning just to make the space feel fresh.
Soy Wax Candle from Sephora
I used to rely on candles but now I use this diffuser all the time. I usually put a few drops of lavender in it before bed and it’s like, instant calm.
