Designing a bedroom that is both comfortable and relaxing is crucial in promoting better sleep and overall well-being. For many people, the dream bedroom will be your sanctuary; a space you can retreat to, from the stresses of the day. A well thought out and designed bedroom can help you achieve the look you desire.
In this blog, we are going to discuss the benefits, and the 5 steps to a relaxing and comfortable bedroom.
The benefits of a relaxing and comfortable bedroom
A comfortable bedroom can help do so much more than take the edge off life and give you a good night’s sleep. Having a private space that you love can help reduce stress, increase happiness and promote good overall health. Additionally, an optimised space that is tailored to your needs can really help to revitalise you and give you the boost you need for the next day.
Adults rooms are that sanctuary away from everyone else. However, don’t forget the kids rooms: they probably spend more time in their rooms than you do! Teenagers also need a different sort of space, spending lots of time relaxing in their rooms, as well as (hopefully!!) spending hours with their studies! All of this should be thought about.
1. Choose the right colour pallet
Selecting a colour pallet can be quite daunting when it comes to redesigning your room, especially if you feel like you don’t have a “eye for design”. To maximise the potential of your bedroom you should probably take into consideration the size. We recommend you use lighter shades for smaller spaces and maybe experiment with rich, darker hues in larger ones. This helps either make your space feel more expansive or cosier, depending on what mood you are trying to create, but is totally down to personal preference. You still have to like the colours you choose!
It is also a good idea to have a mood in mind when looking at colours. Cooler tones such as blues, greys and greens help create a calm and soothing atmosphere. Warmer shades of orange, beige and yellow create a more inviting space.
Additionally, you need to make sure the colours you choose in your room don’t clash. Your furniture, bedding, accessories and walls should all complement each other. This creates a cohesive and comforting look. Look online to take inspiration for this – there are some great websites out there to give you ideas for styles, colour combinations and pattern designs
2. Choose the right lighting
Lighting is essential to create a relaxing and comfortable bedroom. Lighting can help create a calming atmosphere, improve sleep and promote relaxation. Everything from the amount of lighting to the type and position should all be carefully considered.
One of the most effective types of lighting is always ambient lighting. This provides a low but comfortable level of general illumination whilst having a single focus point. Having lighting in your wardobe area is great for seeing what you have in there as well as giving you a clear way to see what to choose! Most people will have an overhead ceiling light of some form or another. However, some soft and gently lighting is also a great idea, to create that warm and relaxing atmosphere.
Too much light can also disrupt your sleeping quality whilst too little can create a depressing, gloomy feel. Think long and hard about the positioning of your lighting options, they make all the difference.
3. Plants, Decoration & Devices!
One key part of creating a relaxed and comfortable bedroom is making it personalised to you. Incorporating plants and decorations specific to you can offer a bespoke yet natural and calming touch. If you like plants then It’s important to select varieties that will be suitable for low-light conditions, avoiding those with strong scents or high moisture levels.
Decorations should fit your personal style and complement your bedroom’s colour scheme, while also being kept to a minimum to prevent clutter.
And do you really want a TV in your room? Although many people like to have a TV, it has been well documented that having screens, phone, ipads and any device like this is not conducive to good slepp.
4. Declutter
A cluttered bedroom can cause stress and anxiety. Creating a plan and identifying areas that need attention is essential before you start. Get rid of unnecessary items and consider donating or selling items that are still in good condition but no longer serve you a purpose.
Alternatively, you can look at potential storage solutions to help organise your bedroom. Here at Russ Deacon, we offer a wide range of unique storage options tailored perfectly to your needs and requirements.
