You will want your bedroom to be a place of calm and tranquility that allows you to come back to and recharge. If you choose your decor correctly, you can turn your space into an oasis. Below are 7 tips to creating a relaxed bedroom that encourages rest and relaxation.
- Select A Calming Color Combination
The mood of a room depends very much on the color. To create a relaxing bedroom choose soft, neutral tones such as whites, beiges and grays or mellow shades of blue, green and lavender. These colors are calm and being in them invokes calmness and a serene vibe.
Tips for Choosing Colors:
Here’s the deal: you want to use a monochromatic scheme for cohesion.
Add colour through cushions or artwork.
Stay away from hues, which are too bright or bold; they will not contribute to relaxation.
- Invest in Comfortable Bedding
Your bedroom centers around your bed so make it welcoming. Buy bedding that feels good, soft and luxurious. Try to find materials that breathe like cotton, linen and bamboo.
Bedding Essentials:
Add some comfort and style with duvet, throw blankets, and pillows using layers.
Pick calming patterns or solid colors that match your color palette on the whole.
If you suffer from poor sleep quality, replace old and worn out mattresses and pillows.
- Optimize Lighting
The ambiance of your bedroom relies hugely on the lighting. Explain how you can include a few lighting options to make it a good place to relax like in a coffee shop.
Lighting Tips:
Utilize dimmable lights or fit smart bulbs that help you change brightness based on your needs.
Include bedside lamps for reading or lighting for a task.
Warm toned bulbs will give you a warm and inviting glow.
To add some romance and serenity sub in fairy lights or candles.
- Declutter and Simplify
It’s overwhelming and stressful in a cluttered space. So keep your bedroom clean and sorted in order to help you relax.
Decluttering Tips:
Use baskets, under bed storage or built in shelves, whichever would suit your needs.
Reduce distraction sources on countertops like nightstands and dressers.
Try going through your things regularly and clearing out things that you don’t need or use anymore.
- Incorporate Natural Elements
Being able to bring nature into your bedroom can help it to become more relaxing. Soothing connection to the outdoors is created using natural materials and elements.
Ideas for Natural Decor:
Houseplants like peace lilies or snake plants are a plus item because they increase air quality.
If you want a warm organic feel, use wooden furniture or decor.
For natural textiles, use rugs in the theme of jute or woven baskets.
Use light, airy curtains, that let in natural light during the day.
- Personalize Your Space
The style of your bedroom should be reflective of yourself. The personal touches that we add to a space make it feel more comforting, and more yours also.
Personalization Ideas:
Put photos, artwork, mementos or anything that typically makes you happy.
Pick canvas art and canvas prints which fit in your style whether you are a minimalist, a bohemian, or traditional.
If you have a favorite chair, bench, or reading nook add a cozy corner.
- Focus on Scent and Sound
To help raise the relaxation factor in your bedroom, appeal to your senses. To finish up your sanctuary add in calming scents and soothing sounds.
Scent and Sound Tips:
Essential oil diffusers or scented candles are also a great idea – you can use those same candles during the day as well, but choose calming fragrances like lavender or eucalyptus.
Mask outside distractions, by playing soft background music or white noise.
Buy blackout curtains for less noise and light to help you sleep better.
Bonus Tip: Keep Technology Out
Use technology as little as you can in your bedroom to ensure you keep that space pure for rest. Don’t bring work items or screens into your space, as they will interrupt your relaxation and sleep pattern.
