While lots of people tend to do their home
improvements just before they sell their house to keep the propertyââ¬â¢s value
high, thereââ¬â¢s no rule that says you can only do DIY when youââ¬â¢re about to move.
So stop house hunting and start planning how to
spend another night in your soon-to-be-improved home as Home Improvements Go
Fast turns its attention to the most important room in the house: the bedroom.
Four ways to make your bedroom less boring
When youââ¬â¢re hosting guests for the evening, you may
not have many people up to visit, but that doesnââ¬â¢t mean your bedroom should be
any less impressive than the other rooms in your house. How can you make your sleeping
quarters as stylish as possible?
Here are four favourite ways to make your bedroom
less boring:
1. Get a new bed
Whatââ¬â¢s a bedroom for? A
bed. Thatââ¬â¢s the most important function of a bedroom: itââ¬â¢s a place to rest your
head. So you need to make sure your bed is as comfortable as possible. Itââ¬â¢s now
even easier to look at potential beds thanks to online retailers, such as Revival
Beds, so thereââ¬â¢s no excuse not to think about it.
Is your mattress too
hard? Too soft? Is your bed too high? Too low? You may sound like Goldilocks,
but donââ¬â¢t forget that 450 people die every year in America by falling out of
their bed. And with 1.8 million emergency room visits also coming from falling out
of bed, itââ¬â¢s important to get it just right. If not, you may end up with a bad
nightââ¬â¢s sleep ââ¬â or worse.
2. French up the place
A bit of culture goes a
long way, so donââ¬â¢t be afraid to style up the place. A candelabrum here, a
vintage cabinet there, even a retro doorknob can make a difference to a roomââ¬â¢s
aesthetic. See what shabby chic options are at melody
maison.
3. Hang some pictures
Wallpaper and paint is
all very well and good, but a picture can bring a wall to life. Paintings can
add a trendy contemporary flair or classical elegance to a pad, while photos
can bring a modern atmosphere to a minimalist room. Once youââ¬â¢ve found the
picture that matches your vibe, a quick visit to a frame-company
and youââ¬â¢re all set.
4. Lighten up
Youââ¬â¢ve got some new
furniture, some matching pictures and youââ¬â¢re all ready to lie down in your
comfy bed, but you know what really sets the mood? Lighting. Bright
Lights, low lights, colourful lights, romantic lights;
whatever your choice, a tinted bulb or darkened shade can change the feel of a
room from formal to intimate, from exciting to peaceful.
And that concludes Home
Improvements Go Fast for this summer. Whether youââ¬â¢re wiping down your windows,
pottering around in the garden or beefing up your bedroom, happy DIY!
