How To Turn Your Bedroom Into A Relaxing Retreat

All too often when decorating our home, the bedrooms get left for last. We tend to focus first on areas that will be seen by guests and let private areas fall to the wayside. It’s time to break the mold. Spend some quality time focusing on your bedroom to create a relaxing retreat. Have a great space to wind down at the end of a busy day and decorate accordingly to maximize your opportunities for a great night’s sleep.

Add A Fresh Coat of Paint

Nothing spruces up any room more than a fresh coat of paint, but be careful when picking the perfect hues. Warm colors often stimulate, so stick to cool colors which are associated with soothing.

Turn Off The TV

Or better yet, get rid of it. Easier said than done, but if you must have a TV in your room, then think about putting it in a piece of furniture so that you can put it out of sight from time to time.

Make It A Retreat-Only Space

If possible, keep the bedroom for sleeping and relaxing purposes only. For smaller pads this rule is a bit more difficult to adhere to, but try to keep a spot for office work, laundry, and other cumbersome tasks away from where you rest your head.

Use Soothing Colors

Nature inspired are soothing colors and relaxing. Moss greens, fresh water blues, and sand inspired tans makes the human body revert back to nature. This is why spas usually have the colors found in nature. Similarly in your bathroom, carry these colors into your towels, carpets and décor.

Lavish On The Comfort

When choosing bedding, the saying is ‘you get what you pay for’. Purchase the highest thread count sheets you can afford! Sheets will make the difference in your sleeping experience.  Luxury hotel beds feel heavenly because of their wonderful bedding.  Fluffy comforters, pillows your head sink into, and sheets that feel luxurious will make your bedroom feel the same way.
