    As you make small, simple home organization changes for the new season, be sure to stop in each of your bedrooms. We’ve got 6 ideas for making this space feel sunnier, from floral prints to freshening products. You’ll sleep better, knowing your bedrooms are totally fresh for the season!

6 Ways to Refresh Your Bedrooms

  1. Organize. Bedrooms are for resting and relaxation, so clear them of stress-causing clutter. To keep clothes off of the floor, maximize storage space in your closet or try under-the-bed organizers. If you read before bedtime, situate a bookshelf nearby. For more bright ideas, read our bedroom organization tips.
  1. Refresh bedding. Replace your flannels with soft, lightweight linens, and consider lighter blankets in lieu of thick comforters. Launder sheets and duvet covers regularly, and freshen hard-to-wash fabrics like pillows, mattresses, down comforters and bed skirts with Febreze® Fabric Refresher™. Try an energizing scent like Sweet Citrus & Zest.

Tip: Are sheets with a higher thread count really better? Find out in our article, Four Steps to a Beautiful Bed.

  1. Embrace color. Let the sunlit landscape inspire your color choices: A pastel color palette is understated and soothing; purples can help lull you to sleep; and greens and blues have calming qualities. For an instant update, add bursts of bright white to your existing décor.

Tip: Like color, scent affects your mood, so use products with uplifting scents, like Febreze® Fabric Refresher. It eliminates seven types of odors on hard-to-wash fabrics, and leaves behind a light, fresh scent. Try Lavender Vanilla & Comfort™, a soothing scent perfect for the bedroom.

  1. Play with patterns. Colorful, freeform florals are fresh and fun, while classic botanicals say sophistication. Bring budding joy to your bedrooms with the tips in our article, Decorating Basics: Florals 101. To balance the feminine feel of flowery prints, pair them with stripes—just be sure the patterns have at least two colors in common.
  1. Clean often. Sunlight calls attention to dirty surfaces, so routinely dust your bedrooms. To keep your hard-to-wash fabrics, like curtains and carpets, fresh for the whole household—not to mention surprise visitors—spray them with Febreze Fabric Refresher. It has a dual acting formula that seeks out and eliminates odors, and locks in freshness.
  1. Add light. Take full advantage of sunny skies by letting lots of natural light into your bedrooms. To help disperse the rays, dress your windows with sheer, flowing fabrics and position mirrors across from them. No windows? Use full spectrum light bulbs in your lamps for a more natural glow.
