How can I make my room look amazing when I clean it?

How can I make my room look brighter?

• Hello. My house is set at such an angle that every room gets at least a sliver of sunlight at some point during the year... except my room. That's right. My room has never seen the light of day because of my north-facing window, and my dad doesn't want to add a window to my room on the west side. It is so dark all the time! When it's nice and sunny outside, my house lights up and is beautiful whereas my room is reminiscent of a dungeon. Do you know any tips and tricks on how to make my room look brighter? I was thinking of painting the walls white like the rest of the house. What's you're idea? Here's a picture of my room this morning: http://i40.tinypic.com/vwpisx.jpg And in comparison, a picture of my living room: http://i43.tinypic.com/nl24oi.jpg

• Answer:

  Paint your room a neutral color like cream and declutter your room too. If you have a favorite color that isn't a neutral, use it on accents such as decor and your sheets. You might also want to use a warm white light instead of a fluorescent light.
