If you're anything like me then you probably spend a lot of time in your bedroom. Who can blame you? A bedroom is supposed to be a sanctuary from the world. However, sometimes it might be as inviting as you want it to be. So how can you fix up your room without spending a lot of money?

1. Thick curtains

They don't need to be the ones that completely block out the sun, but you should look into getting some thicker ones. At night they help block out outside light that might be bugging you, and during the day they can help to block out the sun if you need a midday nap. Thicker curtains can also help keep your room cooler.

2. Soft Lighting

Instead of using your ceiling light, try using lamps or fairy lights. Using soft, warm lighting helps to create a relaxing atmosphere.

3. Bluelight filter

Most new phones have this automatically built in, but some of the older ones allow you to download an app that can fix it. Basically, what it does is filters the Bluelight that your phone emits to make it more orange. This may sound extra but the Bluelight is the reason that all those articles tell you to turn off electronics an hour before bed.

4. Candles

Using candles or melting wax to make your room smell nice is a better solution than using air fresheners. It lasts longer and permeates the room.

5. Temperature

Find your optimal temperature. Personally, I like my room on the chilly side so I have an excuse to wrap myself in a blanket as if I were a burrito.

6. Soft blankets and pillows

They feel like heaven and you will thank me after that first sleep.

7. Peaceful sounds

Whether it is your favorite music on a lower setting or a recording of rain hitting the roof, find something that helps you relax and fall asleep. Pro-tip: Get some of those fake candles (that have the light but no fire), turn off all lights except those, and play some rain sounds.

8. Nice PJs

Get you some soft pajamas. Find a style that you feel most comfortable in. There are few things better than changing into comfy PJs after a long day.

9. Mattress Pad

Can't afford a new mattress? Me neither! However, at the wonderful world of Walmart, they have mattress pads for like $20 which is a lot better than paying however much a new mattress costs.

10. Declutter

You may be stressing yourself out by having a lot of clutter around. Even if you just clear away stuff in your bed's immediate vicinity, you can improve your outlook on your bedroom.
