5 Ways to Brighten up Any Room

Is your apartment feeling drab since Winter has hit us? It’s time to brighten up your rooms! Just by adding one or two new features to a room can make it look brighter and brand new! Here are some ways you can brighten up any room in your home.

<strong>1. Add mirrors</strong> – We all know the trick that mirrors make rooms look bigger, but they also add a touch of light and sparkle that will brighten up a dreary space.

<strong>2. Get some indoor plants</strong> – Nothing says Spring like some greenery in your home! Pick up a couple potted plants next time you are out and place them next to open windows.

<strong>3. Hang bright artwork</strong> – There’s a way to brighten up your walls without adding a coat of paint – add a picture instead! Bright-colored paintings can change the whole look and feel of a room.

<strong>4. Rearrange furniture</strong> – If you’re just in need of a change try rearranging your furniture! When you are done you will feel like you’re sitting in a brand new room.

<strong>5. Fresh flowers</strong> – Flowers can brighten up anyone’s day. You don’t have to wait for someone special to give you a bouquet – pick one up yourself! Having fresh-cut flowers in a room is a sure way to brighten a room and your mood all in one!
