Turn Your Bedroom Into A Restful Retreat
Transforming your bedroom into a calming sanctuary is easy if you follow these five tips:
- Banish The Mess
If you are surrounded by clutter, sleeping is a lot more difficult. A messy room prevents your mind from fully relaxing, which can make it much harder to drift off to sleep. Check your room to make sure that your nightstand, dresser, and other areas aren’t cluttered. Try using trays or storage baskets to organize small items that need to be left out.
- Take Control Of The Light
If you like to sleep late in the morning or if you tend to sleep during the day, you need to find a way to block out the light. Choosing window coverings can be a little bit tricky – especially if you live in a place with great views that you don’t want to block. Consider consulting an interior designer for ideas and inspiration. They can help you choose window coverings that won’t block your view but will still allow you to darken the room or create privacy when you need it.
- Fill The Room With Calming Scents
After living in your home for a long time, you may become so used to the way that it smells that you don’t notice that the air smells stale and musty. If you aren’t sure whether or not your house smells, try asking one of your friends to come over and to honestly tell you what they smell. You may be surprised. To make your bedroom more relaxing, try filling it with the scent of lavender. Another quick way to freshen up your home is to open the windows, assuming that it is warm enough outside.
- Opt For Relaxing Colors
The colors that surround you can have a surprising impact on your feelings and emotions. Think about your favorite colors when deciding what shade to paint your room. Colors like yellow and red tend to create a lot of energy, which generally makes them a poor choice for bedrooms. Usually, a better option is to go with relaxing shades like green or blue. Neutral colors are also a good choice. For more tips on using color, try reading the complementary color guide that we created.
- Upgrade Your Bedding
It goes without saying that you need to have a good mattress and a comfortable pillow if you want to sleep well at night. Check out Costco mattress reviews. Don’t forget that pillows need to be replaced periodically since they can get flat and dirty after being used for a long time. The last thing that you want is to lay your head down on a pillow filled with dust mites each night.
Updating your master bedroom can help you sleep much better at night. Stepping into a calm, relaxing retreat puts you in the right frame of mind for sleep, meaning that you can feel more rested and refreshed in your everyday life.
