WATCH: Here's How To Make The Perfect Bed -- Once And For All
|

We can't all be morning people. For some, rising with the sun, busting out two hours of CrossFit and still having enough stamina to make it to the office on time is just in their DNA. For the rest of us, there's coffee (preferably delivered espresso-style via a slow drip directly to the vein) and making the bed -- the ONE thing we're convinced can make all of our days better if we could just master it, once and for all.

Thankfully, Calvin Klein Home's creative director, Amy Mellen, is here to show us how. For the sake of people everywhere enjoying their mornings, take a look at the video above and quit hitting that snooze button.

Before You Go

9 Ways Your Bedroom Is Stressing You Out
There Are Too Many Distractions(01 of09)

We're the first ones to admit how wonderful it feels to just lay in bed at night and watch TV. But falling asleep to violent news stories or crazy reality television shows aren't exactly what you want. Instead, ditch the television and try reading a book and see if that doesn't help you fall asleep quicker. (credit:Shutterstock)

Most importantly, the color of your bedroom should reflect your personality. But if you're finding the shade is too bright for sleeping or just isn't soothing, House Beautiful suggests painting the space white for a calming effect. Or you can try going for a blue, green or grey color to get a real spa-like feeling. (credit:Shutterstock)

Really strong lighting is uncomfortable no matter what room you're in. While you should have a bright lamp or overhead light to navigate your closet, read a book or do your makeup, also consider investing in a light that's very dim to help create some ambiance. You can even use flameless candles at night, so you don't have to worry if you drift off. (credit:Shutterstock)

The warmer weather is approaching and you might be feeling it big time in your bedroom. It's best to say away from microfiber bedding as the material can add heat. Natural fibers tend to be more breathable. (credit:Shutterstock)

Since the bedroom is considered the most personal space in the house (after the bathroom, of course), it's easy for it to become cluttered with photos, jewelry, clothes and everything in between. To avoid this, try to make your bed every morning and tidy up every day. Also, make sure you have a hamper and plenty of storage, so everything will have a place, instead of ending up all over the room. Check out our list of organizing tips to help you get started.

If your room is small, it may be feeling a little airless, especially if there isn't a window. A great solution is to add some plants to the space. Not only are flowers a great way to add some color to your room, but they will purify the air, helping you breath easier when sleeping. (credit:Shutterstock)
