Sweater weather is upon us and that means it’s not only the moment to embrace flannel, it’s also a good opportunity to do some rearranging and upgrading in your home in preparation for spending more time inside.
Your bed—where you while away, at minimum, a third of your life—starts looking even more attractive once the mercury starts to dip. And if your bedroom isn’t already one of your favorite spots in the house, we’re here to change that.
From embracing the dark side with blackout curtains to cultivating a reading nook that gets you ready for shut-eye, these five strategies will help you turn your bedroom into the stuff dreams are made of—and they’re easy to implement thanks to these key online finds from The Home Depot.

If a mattress upgrade isn’t what you have in mind (or in your budget) right now, a plush topper is a wallet-friendly way to add a layer of comfort. This Home Sweet Home Dreams pick brings two inches of down-alternative softness to your sleep space. The cherry on top of this cozy bed sundae: A goes-with-anything comforter set in ultra-breathable cotton and a dove gray throw.

Block Out The Light
Don’t sleep on the basics of solid shuteye. A room that’s cool, quiet, and dark is a must, since exposure to bright light could interfere with your sleep. To ensure not a sliver of light gets through, consider investing in solid blackout shades like these cordless options from Home Decorators Collection.
You should also limit your in-bedroom screen time right before sleep, so those blue light rays don’t trick your brain into thinking it’s daytime.
Try Out Feng Shui
The idea behind the ancient Chinese practice is that the proper placement of furniture and other decor can bring more happiness, abundance, and harmony into your home and life.
