How can I make my bedroom lighter without a window?
Q. I haven't a window in my bedroom, and I was wondering what I could do to make the room brighter. I'm about to paint the walls a bright white to see if that helps at all. I've used the brightest light bulbs I could find, and they seem to make the room look yellow in some way. I only have one light in the center of the room.
A. First, it isn't a true bedroom without a window, and will not add any value to the house. I don't know if your living in a closet but put a window in not only for light but to add value to the house.
Second, not only will a lighter wall color help but also a lighter floor covering like a carpet. If you have a dark one or a dark wood floor it will absorb the light.
Hope this helps.

How do I decorate my bedroom like the 1940s?
Q. I want to decorate my bedroom in 1940s glamor style. My inspiration came from the notebook. I realize the notebook isn't glamor but I would love to incorporate both of these styles. And ideas?
A. Colors
Choose Jadeite and a red and white theme. You can find plenty of vintage accents to fill your bedroom for either one of these color schemes. Why not start a collection of jadeite that you can display in drawers? You can jazz the place up with vintage wooden handle gadgets that are painted jadite and cream. If you are going for the red and white theme, there are plenty of red vintage bed sheet and bed cover out there and vintage linens can really perk up the place. Another advantage of the red and white theme is you can also add in a fruit theme on top of bed side desk.
I would leave the walls a neutral color - white of off white so that it does not detract from all your great accessories. Linoleum flooring in a checkerboard pattern would be perfect. Some color coordinated throw rugs can add a bit of color to the floor and pull it all together.
Lighting
Simple lighting is best. You can buy vintage ceiling lights and wall sconces if you want a really authentic look. Of course you'll want to make sure you have enough task lighting so some modern lights will have to be worked in. I suggest you make them as subtle as possible so they don't look out of place.
Window Treatments
Use vintage curtains for your windows. You can buy them with complimentary colors and great patterns. If you can't find curtains make some out of vintage dish towels or tablecloths - you can buy tablecloths that have stains in 1 area pretty cheaply and then just use the good area for the curtains! If you are going with a red and white 1940's kitchen decorating theme, you might want to pick either cherries or apples as a secondary theme and look for curtains with those fruits in the motif.
Furniture
Glass knobs will really jazz up your bed furniture and drawers and add an authentic vintage look. If you have painted drawers in either white or cream, try the green glass knobs. Your bed side table and chairs should either be a chrome vintage style or a vintage wooden style table with enamel top. If you canât find either of these, you can buy any type table and hide it with a vintage tablecloth.
Accessories
Accessories for 1940âs style as bedroom accessories can be found in antique malls as well as bought brand new. Soften up the room by hanging vintage tablecloths and tea towels around. Chrome appliances go well with this look as do the retro style appliances you can buy brand new these days.
