Eight Ways to Freshen Up Your Bedroom
Do you feel like your bedroom looks drab and needs a makeover? Whether you want a whole new design or need to upgrade for better sleep at night, here are some fantastic ideas to help you give your room that makeover it deserves. And no, you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars for it!
1. Washing Your Sheets
Did you know that your sheets need to be washed once a week to prevent it from looking drab or losing its fluff? Whether you’re using linen or bamboo sheets, make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions on washing your sheets.
Use gentle detergent and don’t use the dryer, opting to take your comforters and sheets out under the sun every few months to have a just-cleaned feel.
2. Musty Furniture and Sheets
Does your bedroom have that old and musty smell? While spraying it with a ton of perfume or sprays may work, it will end up mixing with the smell, making it smell too fragrant and old. And that’s not a smell you’d like in your room!
To help get rid of the musty smell on your furniture and sheets, add baking soda to your rinse cycle when washing your sheets and sprinkling baking soda on your furniture, vacuuming it after a few hours.
3. Decorating Your Wall
Give your bedroom a whole new and fresh look by covering your walls with tapestries or rearranging your artworks. You can even hang a few personal photos of you for a better and attractive look that will impress your guests while making you feel safe and truly at home.
4. Cleaning Out Furniture
The reason why your bedroom might seem too cramped is because of all the unnecessary furniture lying around! Instead of keeping multiple chairs “for show” opt to either sell or move it to other rooms that need it.
Keep the essentials, which is usually the dresser, your bed, and an office desk. With the minimalist design in your room, you will feel like you have more space, making your room look newer and fresher.
5. More Light
There’s no denying that adding more light into your room will make it look bigger and cleaner. You can opt to add more natural sunlight by drawing the curtains open, or investing in lamps and lights that can imitate natural light. You can also opt to create something new and hip with your room by adding string lights
or suspending lantern
to give your room a quirky and hipster feel.
6. Regular Carpet Cleaning
Not only should you be cleaning out your furniture and beddings, but you should also make sure that your bedroom flooring looks and feels spotless. Most bedrooms have carpets for comfort, optimum temperature, and less sound. BUT, it can also hold bacteria, pollen, mold, or other forms of dirt easily, forming an odor you wouldn’t like to walk into.
Daily vacuuming will help, as well as using carpet-cleaning products. Deodorize the carpet easily by using baking soda, which is inexpensive and easy to sprinkle on the floor, then vacuum the place right after.
7. Using Diffusers
To freshen up your bedroom and giving a nice scent to it, you can opt to invest in a diffuser
and essential oils, which are affordable and easy to maintain. You can even make your own with a glass jar, bamboo skewers, and your favorite essential oils! These will help you sleep and breathe easier while in your room.
8. DIY Air Freshener
If you’re not a huge fan of diffusers, you can freshen up your room by creating your own pleasant-smelling fragrance that isn’t overpowering or bad for your lungs. Make this by adding a cup of distilled water, three tablespoons of rubbing alcohol, and 20 drops of your favorite essential oils. Mix it in a spray bottle and add it around the room for a nice scent that sticks.
