1. Discard unused items.

As always, the first thing you have to do is to clear up unnecessary items in your bedroom. The trick here is to put everything in a box and slowly figure out whether they are useful to you. Ask yourself this question: Am I going to use this item within the next 6 months? If the answer is yes then keep it. If the answer is no, discard the item away or keep it in the storage. Also, in your bedroom, you only need a bed, table, chair, and a wardrobe. Everything that is not these items means that it’s not necessarily important to you.

5. Let in natural light.

A bright room with ample sunlight can make a room more lively and airy. Moreover, when windows are designed in such a way that covers up to 90% of one side of the room with no or a few bars, it creates an inside-outside connection.
