(ARA) - It doesn't take
a lot of time or money
to transform the look
and feel of your home.
In fact, sometimes the
smallest changes can
make the biggest
impressions. With this
in mind, the Better
Sleep Council (BSC) offers advice on how to makeover your home (and your mood)
room-by-room.
"Giving your home a
makeover can be easy and
fun. It's also something
you can do in one
afternoon or less.
Simple changes can
quickly enhance your
mood and the way you
feel about your home,"
says Andrea Herman,
director of the Better
Sleep Council.

To give your home an
"afternoon" makeover,
the Better Sleep Council
offers the following
tips:
-
Kick-start your kitchen. A warm and inviting kitchen can
make the time you
spend there more
enjoyable. For a big
impact, paint an
accent wall an
uplifting color,
like red or yellow.
A quick coat of
paint is an easy way
to spice up a room
and improve the way
you feel.
-
Better your bedroom. Start your bedroom makeover with
the center of the
room -- your bed.
Check your mattress
to make sure it's
still providing you
comfort, support and
adequate space. If
it's not, it may be
time for a new one.
A comfortable
mattress can help
jump-start your mood
each morning by
enhancing the
quality of your
sleep each night.
-
Liven up your living room. Area rugs, framed art and
throw pillows are
easy and inexpensive
ways to dramatically
change the look and
feel of your living
room. Even just
re-arranging your
furniture can
quickly enhance your
surroundings and
improve your
outlook.
-
Beautify your bathroom. A colorful shower curtain,
pretty towels or
even a display of
scented soaps can
liven up your
bathroom. By adding
colorful decorative
accessories, you can
easily perk up the
way you feel each
time you enter the
room.
"As you makeover your
home, be sure each room
exudes warmth and
positive energy. Whether
it's a comfortable bed
or a brightly painted
accent wall, your
physical surroundings
should elevate your mood
and spirit," adds
Herman.
