Decluttering

Are you guilty of having a ‘floordrobe’ or has your bedroom turned into a secondary playroom since you became a parent? Clutter can contribute to stress, and it detracts from the visual appeal of the room. Decluttering is an excellent way to free up more space, reduce stress levels, and create a more appealing and soothing bedroom.

If you’re short on storage, it’s a good idea to consider investing in new furniture or adding shelves or rails. If you don’t have a huge room, there are some fantastic pieces available from sites like https://www.bedroomfurniturediscounts.com, including beds with hidden drawers beneath the mattress and bed frames with built-in bookcases. You could also maximize storage in your closet by fitting shelves and racks to the walls and using hooks on the back of the door to hang coats.

Choosing a soothing colorway

Colors don’t just affect the look of a room. They also have an impact on the ambiance. While some shades are proven to energize and uplift us, others have a relaxing, calming effect. In your bedroom, it’s best to stick to neutral tones and soothing colors, such as pastel shades, beige, white, light gray, blues, and purples.

If you don’t want to go all-out and cover every wall in paint, use accessories to inject a new colorway or create a feature wall. You could paint the wall behind your bed in a brighter shade or choose patterned or printed paper to create a stunning focal point.

Creating a cozy feel

When you walk into your bedroom after a busy day, you want to feel your shoulders sink and your troubles melt away. Creating a cozy, relaxing feel will help you unwind and feel calm instantly. Opt for soft lighting, add texture with soft furnishings such as rugs, throws, blankets, and cushions, and add a romantic vibe with candles. 

Blocking out light

Humans are programmed to sleep in the dark, and this is why we start to feel tired when the sun sets and the skies turn black. If you have street lights outside, or there are flashes of light illuminating the room as soon as the sun starts to rise, it’s a good idea to invest in blackout blinds or heavyweight curtains to keep the room dark. Lined curtains can also help to reduce external noise and improve heat retention. 

If you struggle to sleep, making changes to your environment can be beneficial. If your bedroom is cluttered, it’s too light or it’s not a comfortable, welcoming, cozy space, take these tips on board to create a serene sanctuary to retreat to after a long day. Changing the color of the room, adding cozy touches, and decluttering can make all the difference.
