Thanks to the glorious winter weather, many of us are stuck indoors. At first it appears like a blessing; we’re going to get so much done! But soon enough, those four walls start to drive us crazy. But what’s the answer? It’s hardly the best time to go for a leisurely stroll when it’s pouring down with rain. What we suggest is you turn to the look of your house; a happy home equals a happy you! And what better place to start than with your bedroom? Let’s face it; you spend half your time there. You need to create a space that encourages you to face the cold outdoors, not one which forces you put your head back under the covers. So, to give you a helping hand, here are some tips to get your room the way you want it.
The Look
This is the first matter to address. Does your room look the way you would like it? Now’s the best time to decide why it needs a facelift! Does it need a new lick of paint? Choosing the colour of your room is integral to the feeling created within it. If your wallpaper or paint is very dark then it’s less likely to keep you cheery during those winter months. What you need to do is make sure that you choose a colour you like, but to also try and opt for one which is more bright and breezy; help ward off that pesky Jack Frost. The look of your room is also determined by what furniture you have in there. Using a box as a dressing table? Maybe it’s time to go shopping. Why not treat yourself to a new bookshelf, or some designer wardrobes? Aspects such as these are essential to getting the room that you want.
The Feel
Another important question, are you comfortable in your bedroom? If not, then something is seriously wrong. Your room is a place designed for you to relax and unwind; to have some ‘down time.’ So if it isn’t having that effect then you need to get this sorted! Why not looking into investing in a new bed? Having an uncomfortable mattress tends to be a common reason why people can’t sleep easy, so it’s worth spending that little bit extra for a better forty-winks! And whilst you’re at it why not look into treating yourself to a feel a few cushions as well?
Now, we’re not suggesting go all out, but having a little bit of luxury to come home to is always a nice touch, so get it sorted!
You’re style
So you’ve created the look and the feel that you want, now’s the best part; to make your mark! Add all those home comforts which will make you never want to leave your room. From your SpongeBob duvet cover to that flat screen TV, there are so many ways you can make your room personal to you. Once you’ve found that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ and everything’s as you dreamed it would be, all that’s left is to enjoy!
