Are you having troubles sleeping at
night? Do you wake up every hour wishing you were in a different room? If
that’s you, your issues might be related to your bedroom’s décor. Believe it or
not, a properly
decorated room can greatly affect your sleep. You may have the wrong
curtains hanging by your windows, or your bed may not be comfortable enough.
Regardless of your issues, it might be a good idea to redecorate. Switch things
up a bit – consider changing the furniture, adding a new rug or repainting the
walls. Here are some more tips to help you out.
Declutter
Messy bedrooms with clothes lying
around and things piling up are unappealing. The moment you walk in you’ll
start feeling all anxious and irritated. Rather than get into bed and enjoy
reading a book, you’ll probably just shut the lights and go to sleep, only to
wake up the next day feeling even angrier. Keep the bedroom tidy and organized.
Make sure all your clothes are properly folded, and rearrange your books,
blankets and pillows. Use baskets and boxes to help you out. This way your
bedroom will appear neat and clean. Spending quality time reading or watching
TV will once again be a pleasure.
Freshen it up with plants
Studies have shown that flowers and
plants are a great way to rejuvenate your soul. They bring peace and harmony
into a space, and making it breathable and relaxing once again. There are many
varieties that last for months, both in the sun and in the shadow. Prior to
making a choice, get to know more about which plants might fit best into your
bedroom. Lavender, aloe vera, peace lilies and gardenias are all excellent
choices. Put your creative spirit to the test, and complement the décor with a
flowery painting above the master bed, and center your attention on the warmest
colors of green, brown and burgundy.
Pamper your senses with aromatherapy
A truly comfortable bedroom makes you feel good.
Improve the ambiance with aromatherapy to create a calming scent. It will help
you sleep a lot better too. Lavender and lemon blends are the best; place
candles on the nightstand and let the romantic light and pleasant smell pamper
all your senses. The next day you’ll wake up totally refreshed and relaxed.
Ditch the TV
This might seem like the most impossible thing to
do. However, it could completely alter your sleep. In fact, giving up the TV
and adding a mirror or beautiful painting instead will transform the bedroom into a cozy sleeping area. Believe it or not, the light and noise of a TV can do
more harm than good to your body. Why bother watch TV after a hard day at work,
when you can enjoy some quality sleep? You’ll wake up the next day feeling all
rested and energized.
Window treatments
Rooms without window treatments look empty and
unappealing. The bedroom in particular, must feature curtains and shades to
complement the decor and make it fuller and more comfortable. However, not all
types of curtains are suitable in the bedroom. Invest in top quality materials
such as cotton or damask; these are thick, thus providing shadow and keeping
heat at bay. Add more balance by focusing on warm colors. This season, the best
hues are burgundy, brown, blue and black. Interesting designs and patterns are
more than recommended because add movement without overcharging the space. If
you’re decorating a bedroom for your baby, you should go eco-friendly. Organic
baby mattresses, bamboo rugs, and flower pots will make the air fresher and
easier to breathe. Your baby will enjoy the most relaxing sleep at night.
Bedrooms should be used for
sleeping, book reading or relaxing, and not for work. Don’t waste your time
finishing reports on your laptop or exercising in the bedroom. Why add more
stress in a place that should be used to unwind? Add a personal touch to it and
make it as comfortable as possible with the most convenient items. This might
surprise you, but a new plant and a fluffy rug placed near the bed can make a
huge difference. You’ll wake up completely refreshed, and you’ll have the
energy required to start a new day on the right foot.
