It’s important that our bedrooms are restful and help us calm down because they are the spaces in which we relax and sleep. The problem is that many of us have bedrooms that do anything but calm us down, instead of stressing us out! Happily, there are some smart ways to ensure your bedroom becomes a more restful space. Keep reading to find out what they are below.
Use neutral colours
Bold colours can be wonderful, but they can cause stress or invigorate the bedroom rather than be restful. That is why it’s best to opt for more neutral tones. Hues such as magnolia, beige, cappuccino and dove grey can work particularly well because they are restful and calming while also fitting with just about any decor you choose.
The only exception to the bolder colour rule in the bedroom is a much darker hue like Breton Blue, Black or Charcoal Grey. This is because when used on most or all walls these colours can create a very cosy, protected feel that can be calming and restful for some.
Make sure there is enough storage
Clutter will always be a source of stress in the bedroom, and that is why if you want a calming space you must invest in enough storage. Usually, the items of furniture that provide the best level of storage are wardrobes. However, you must choose fitted wardrobes rather than free-standing ones. This is because they offer so much more usable space in the bedroom and so will help you minimise any clutter or stress.
Create a space for your pets
For many of us, there is nothing better than relaxing in our bedroom with our pets snuggled up beside us. Indeed, spending time like this can be very relaxing and calming. That is until you find you can’t move or turn over in the night because your cat or dog is there!
That’s why it makes sense to make sure your home accommodates your pets and has a dedicated space for your pets to sleep where they won’t get in your way, and make spending the night in your bedroom more stressful than it needs to be.
Invest in a good bed.
Last of all, to make your bedroom space as restful as possible you need to have a good need. After all, there is nothing more stressful than settling down for a nice relaxing night’s sleep only to be poked and prodded by bed springs, or slats!
With that in mind, it’s a good idea to do some research on the type of bed that would suit you best. Perhaps a divan bed would be a good idea, as they can be particularly supportive and provide extra space for storage as well. Alternatively, a metal frame bed might be just what you are looking for aesthetically. Just be sure to invest in a high-quality mattress to sit in that frame and make sure that it’s the right level of softness for how you sleep.
