Use of dull and brighten up

Hi

Is the use of the underlined words natural English? Any suggestions?

The new curtains and the colorful bed sheet brightened up the room.

The dark curtains and the pure black bed sheet dulled the room.

The dark curtains and the pure black bed sheet sobered up the room.

Thanks,

Tom
