5 Fun And Easy Pinterest-Worthy Ways To Brighten Your Bedroom

Your bedroom is a sanctuary for alone time, relaxation, and self-expression. It can be difficult to relax in a room that is cluttered and hasn't changed for years. Use these tips to brighten your bedroom and to create a space that more accurately represents you!

1. Declutter and rearrange your room.

A cluttered and unorganized room can add unnecessary stress to your mind. Clean out your closet and donate any unworn or dated clothes to free up space. I find that decluttering my closet relaxes my mind and removes the stress of finding an open hanger for my favorite shirt.

2. Make it personal.

If you haven't already, add an uplifting book or your favorite photo to your nightstand. Adding a piece of decor which reminds you of a positive memory or makes you smile will be sure to brighten your space. If you enjoy painting, you can also add a piece you're proud of or best represents you. These small finishing touches will uplift your mood and give guests insight to your personality and style.

3. Repaint your room.

While on the topic of harnessing your creativity, repainting your room a brighter color can completely change the tone. Lighter colors such as a pastel blue, yellow, green, or a light grey are proven to have relaxing effects on the mind. Brightening the wall color can also make your room seem larger and more welcoming.

4. Add fresh flowers!

Choose your favorite flowers from your local farmer's market or grocery store in order to spice up your room. Flowers will add a soothing aroma as well as brighten the room with their bright, natural coloring. If you're too busy to care for fresh flowers, faux plants are just as appealing and require less dedication.

5. Incorporate curtains.

Curtains add a cozy touch to your space like no other! Choose a simplistic style to maintain a laid-back feel to your bedroom. Besides making you feel more "at home," the obvious benefit from curtains is a more peaceful sleep. Use this simple piece of decor to ensure the sun is not disturbing your sleep and to wake up feeling rejuvenated.

Turn your bedroom from another room in your house to a personalized sanctuary with these five, easy fixes! There's no reason to be feeling stressed or gloomy in a space intended to relax and recharge your body and mind.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
