The average person spends 33 years asleep. Some of us haven’t even been in existence for that long, so it seems like a crazy amount of time spent in bed, but what we can get from this statistic is that we should all have the best bedrooms possible. If you’re going to spend 33 whole years in there, then it’s important to get it right, and have the most comfortable, calming, and luxurious bedroom that you can. We’ve had a look for some of the best things that you can do. Here is some inspiration to help make your room the perfect place for you to get your 40 winks.
Keep the walls a light color
The best thing that you can do to make your room seem like a huge open and airy space, is making sure that your walls are painted (or wallpapered) a light color. The worst thing that you can do is create a space that seems dark and miserable, so lighten up! I highly suggest checking out this Walnut Wallpaper to add a new demotion to your room.
Use mirrors wisely
If you use mirrors wisely, you can create the illusion of your room being much bigger. There is a certain way to do this, by reflecting the light properly, and if you try out a few places you’ll see how this really works. There are a variety of different sizes and shapes so that you can utilize any space.

There is a certain way to do this, by reflecting the light properly, and if you try out a few places you’ll see how this really works. There are a variety of different sizes and shapes so that you can utilize any space.
Keep a minimalist wardrobe
If you’re keeping clothes that you’ve had for years but never worn, donate them to charity! Don’t let them take up loads of room in your bedroom, when you could be helping others, and helping yourself, by getting rid of them. Pick out what you haven’t worn for 12 months, and give it away. You’ll feel great, we promise.
Create some great lighting
You can also use lighting to your advantage, and invest in something that will make your room look amazing at night. You can even get a fluorescent light diffuser, to make your bedroom look like it is open to the night sky. Yes, it literally displays clouds on your ceiling. No more counting sheep for us, thanks.
Declutter
There is nothing that can make a space look smaller, and less appealing, than loads of clutter. Keep your floor space clear, make sure that you clean and polish at least once a week (that’s right, no more eating your leftovers in bed), and don’t just keep a lot of things in your room that can collect dust. Seeing the floor is the goal here, guys.
Get that furniture up high
Ok, so this sounds weird, but the best way to make your bedroom seem as though it has loads of space is putting your furniture up on the walls. If you have bookshelves, change them into independent shelves that you can attach to the walls, and instead of free-standing lamps, get some that you can attach to the wall. Floorspace galore.
Let there be light!
If you don’t have a window in your bedroom, or your curtains are always closed, it can mess with your mental health. Make sure that you let some light in as much as you can, and avoid living in a bedroom that resembles a cave. It’s not good for you, and sunlight makes us all feel happier, right? Away with the curtains!
Wash your bedsheets regularly
Is there a better feeling than getting into bed after you’ve washed your bedsheets? Make sure that you keep your bed clean, so that you don’t invite any unwanted visitors into your home and you can come back to a lovely-smelling, clean bed. We think this is one of the best things in the world, and we don’t care if you disagree. Aah.
Invest in a throw and some pillows
Getting into bed should always be like jumping on a big cloud. Of course, if you actually jumped on a big cloud, it probably wouldn’t feel like you’re surrounded by throws and pillows, but this is what we’re going for here. Make your bed as comfortable (and warm, in the winter) as possible, and you’ll love coming back to your room.
So, there are many ways to make your bedroom the best that it can be; experiment and find the perfect arrangement for you! Make sure that you use light wisely, declutter and utilize the space in your room, and create the perfectly comfortable bed, so that you’ll always be thinking about coming back to it. Good luck, and enjoy catching those Zzz’s in your brand new abode.

Having knowledge of some of the most common dog problems is important so that you know what signs to pick up on. You should always pay attention to the behavior of your dog. If it changes, then this should be explored further, and if the problems continue, you should definitely pay a visit to a veterinarian. With that being said, in this post, we are going to talk about some of the most common health issues and, hopefully, answer some of your most pressing dog health questions.
Arthritis – This is one of the most common dog health issues, typically affecting middle-aged to senior dogs. It can have a detrimental impact on their quality of life by causing chronic pain. There are many signs that your dog may be suffering from arthritis. The most obvious is if they have a limp, but other signs include your dog taking longer to recover after they have been playing or not being as active as usual. To treat arthritis, you need to keep your pet at a healthy weight and talk to your veterinarian about pain medication.
There are various types of meds for dog arthritis available in the market, ranging from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to natural supplements and pain relievers. Additionally, joint supplements containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids can support long-term joint health. In some cases, your vet may recommend alternative treatments like acupuncture or physical therapy alongside medication to enhance your dog’s mobility and comfort.
Lung problems – Breathing problems, such as coughing, should not be ignored. In most cases, this is a sign of a bacterial or viral infection. However, this does not rule out any serious and underlying problems, which is why you are always advised to see a vet.
Constipation – Most dogs suffer from constipation from time to time. Signs of constipation include a dog that has not passed a stool for a day or two, straining while trying to pass a stool, vomiting, lack of appetite, and low energy. There are plenty of pet supplies available to treat constipation. Other options include encouraging your dog to drink sufficient water and adding more fiber to your dog’s food. You can also visit a pet doctor to learn how to prevent this from happening frequently. Wondering where to find one? How about looking for "veterinarian near me" or a similar phrase on the Web?
Gastrointestinal problems – There is no need to rush to the emergency room imminently if you see that your dog is refusing to eat or has diarrhea. However, some signs that you should see a specialist immediately include sudden loss of weight and blood in their stool.
Hip dysplasia - Next we have hip dysplasia, which is an abnormal function of the hip socket. It is a genetic trait but it can be impacted by environmental factors. This is a concern that is common with German Shepherd dogs. You can read up on how to take care of a German Shepherd for breed-specific for information. However, this is something that can, of course, impact all breeds of dogs. It can be a severe condition as well, causing painful arthritis, which we have discussed above, and even crippling lameness. There are a number of different symptoms that indicate hip dysplasia. This includes grating in the joint during movement, narrow stance, looseness in the joint, lameness in the hind end, reluctance or difficulty rising, decreased range of motion, and decreased activity.
Skin allergies – There are many different skin allergies that dogs can suffer from, from flea infestations to allergic reactions, and thus determining the type of skin allergy that has occurred is the most important step. Flea infestations can cause severe problems if not dealt with quickly, which is why you need to act straight away. If your dog has suffered an allergic reaction, simply stop using the product in question. Skin irritation could also be the sign of a medical condition, such as a fungal infection or thyroid disease. If you are unsure, seek professional assistance.
Bone problems – Last but not least, we have bone problems. Seeing your dog limping can be an awful shock, but it is impossible to keep your eyes on your dog at all times. Unless the issue resolves itself in a day or so, you need to see a vet.
Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of some of the most common dog problems and how you can spot and treat them. Of course, in a lot of instances, it will be necessary to take your pet to the vet. You should never take risks when it comes to your dog’s health. Even if you are unsure whether the issue is serious or not, there is no harm in getting it checked out.
Wishing you happy paws from our dogs to yours and as always keep it Southern Y'all!
It official the day after Thanksgiving and you are already tired of the leftovers?
