New bedding 'can brighten up life'

Published: 19 January 2009

People make their lives a little less gloomy with some bright new bedding, one writer suggests, which may entice people to get themselves a new duvet cover or pillows.

There are a number of ways that people can brighten up their lives this year, one of which is to bring some colour into the bedroom, it is said.

A writer for the Vancouver Province believes that a set of bright orange throw pillows will go surprisingly far in lifting people's moods, as will a new lemon yellow duvet cover.

One other way that someone can make themselves that little bit cheerier in 2009 is to bring in some flowers to the house, such as tropical plants or a bright hyacinth, which "looks and smells great", according to the publication.

"Clear out the clutter. Yes, it is time to divest yourself of unused small appliances," the writer states and also suggests writing up a "'to do' list", which may include purchasing some new bedding.

People may need cheering up with some new linen as today is supposed to be the most miserable day of the year, otherwise known as Blue Monday.

Almost one-quarter of workers are expected to be absent as a result.
