Simple Décor Tips to Brighten Up Your Room



The winter months are upon us and if you’re spending the majority of your time in one room, it some times isn’t easy.  The same goes for anyone taking care of a loved one who is currently confined to one space.  There are, however, steps you can take to really brighten up your room and add that little bit of extra comfort and ease.

Try painting the room and decorating it in light or bright colors.  Dark colors absorb light and can make a space look dark even if plenty of light is streaming in.  Light colors such as white and eggshell white reflect more light while richer colors such as red might not reflect as much but still add that extra personality to the space.  Either way, a new coat of paint is a great was to freshen things up.

Clear away the clutter.  As mentioned above, it’s tough to spend a lot of time in one space.  Get rid of anything in the room that you really don’t need, it will feel more open and accessible.

Open up your blinds/curtains. Take advantage of the natural light outside! If privacy is a concern or the view is terrible, you can always use translucent curtains or blinds. You'll have light without the eyes of prying neighbors.
