I find the best way to brighten up a dreary bedroom is to invest in a quirky bedding set to add a new lease on life to your room. When I enter a bedroom my eyes are always drawn to the bed before I move on to look over the rest of the furniture, trinkets, and objects within the room. Upon entering a new season, it's nice to mix things up with your home interiors. This could mean swapping some summery snaps for autumnal landscapes, putting away your beach combing finds for next year, or crafting some awesome pinecone decorations.
It might not be as easy to revamp your bedroom, though. Sure, you could repaint your furniture or put up some new wallpaper, but IMO the easiest way to change the feel of your room is by mixing up the mood with a new bedspread. I know I'm not the only one to hold on to old duvet sets just in case there's a bedding emergency and I need to unleash these musty monstrosities from the closet, but really, I need to ask myself: Will I ever use them again?
So donate your old bedspreads to charity and go out and get yourself some kooky new bedding to celebrate the turn of the season. You spend an awful lot of time in your bed, so it may as well be beautiful.

7. The Kooky Moose Design
Whenever I look at this kooky graphic moose print I just hear the 1990s Maynards Wine Gums advert theme tune in my head which includes the popular 1950s song "Hoots Mon" (with a twist on the lyrics,) which plays on the Scottish pronunciation cliché, "There's a moose loose about this hoose." Although I think they're actually elk, but we won't lose any sleep over technicalities.
