How To Decorate Your Bedroom To Promote Restful Sleep?

If you want to sleep better in your bedroom, take note of the tips we share in this article. Good quality sleep is essential for good health. 

If you are one of those people who love to sleep, you will agree with us that there is nothing better than rest and sleep.

Resting in a room where we feel comfortable and happy is one of the greatest pleasures we can experience.  There is nothing like lying down in a good quality bed, falling asleep and waking up the next day refreshed,  energetic, cheerful and ready for different activities.

Although there are different models of rooms and thousands of ways to decorate them according to preference, in recent years there has been a certain trend towards practicality, minimalism and space, but above all: more comfortable.

Although each person has their own personality and taste for decoration, we want to give you some keys so that your room is well conditioned and you can rest peacefully.

How to decorate your room to have a good rest?

We will therefore detail the essential elements to take into account below:

1. Choose the right colors

The colors mostly reflect our personality and our tastes. This is why we must take the time to choose the tones that will decorate our room.

• Choose soft colors and warm tones. Indeed, this type of color will help you relax your body. Prefer sand, ivory or light yellow tones. You can also opt for blue.
• Choose furniture that fits your bed.
• Avoid mixing too many colors and too many textures. Look for harmony between your furniture, your curtains, your wardrobes and your cushions. All these elements are transformed into a whole which must be in harmony.

2. Pay attention to the location of the bed

One of the most important aspects of sleep is the placement of the bed. Ideally, the headboard should be placed against the wall to be able to see the windows and the door, which will be on the side sides.

It is also not recommended to place the bed in front of the main windows of your room. In addition, if the wall against which the headboard is placed is in contact with electronic devices, they will have to be moved away.

3. Pay attention to the lighting

Enlightenment is also essential for enjoying restful sleep. Look for different types of lights to give your room a special touch.

• Ambient light : It should be direct but soft so as not to excite you. Place it on a small nightstand or on the wall at a good height.
• Ceiling light : this is the one that will completely illuminate your room. You can decrease its intensity by turning it towards the ceiling or towards furniture or a wall.
• Concrete light : this is the   light which is responsible for illuminating something special, books, a frame or a poster.

3. Organize the room

The order is always pleasant and visually restful. So try to organize your room in the best way. Also adopt a routine to facilitate its organization.

• You can buy a desk to store your things in an orderly fashion and not leave them in plain view.
• Respect the passage areas, do not leave clothes or shoes lying around.
• Place a cabinet in a corner away from the door.
• Do not choose furniture that is too large or that takes up too much space.

4. Opt for accessories to your liking

Be true to your personality. When you know what style you want to give your room, you can buy the accessories that will allow you to harmonize it.

The accessories make it possible to bring taste, color and freshness. If you are minimalist by nature, don’t overcrowd your room. If, on the contrary, you like showy things, you can choose colored accessories.

5. Put on rugs

Carpets bring a warm touch to a bedroom. It is as if they are covering the ground and warming it.

A rug can be soft, velor, synthetic, or handcrafted. Make the carpet color match the color of your curtains, comforter and cushions.

6. Install dark curtains and shutters

If you want to sleep longer but the sunlight wakes you up, you need to install blackout curtains or shutters.

We advise you to choose the curtains in dark colors, black, navy blue, feather gray or burgundy. If these colors don’t match your bedroom colors, you can mix dark and light colors for better effect.

7. Install a ceiling fan

Whether it’s winter or summer, a fan is always welcome. Changes in temperature can indeed deteriorate sleep.

Ceiling fans are the best option because they are practical, quiet, and extremely decorative. You can easily adjust the speed of ventilation at any time of the day.

8. Place soothing decorative elements

There are a lot of decorative elements of all kinds and for all tastes. You can decorate your room with aromatic candles, incense, essential oils or relaxing scent vapors.

All of this will allow your mind to escape, be more peaceful and promote restful sleep during the night.

9. Avoid electronic devices in the bedroom

Without our realizing it, electronic devices can interfere with our sleep.

These generate heat and waves and emit sounds,  which can annoy us without our realizing it.

On the other hand, several studies claim that watching television in the bedroom prevents good rest, as does spending too much time on your cell phone.

10. Pay attention to the quality of the bed

While it seems logical, your sleep will be better in a large bed and with a good mattress. Today there are many excellent quality mattresses at very reasonable prices.

There are a plethora of models to choose from. For an optimal choice, it is better to choose the mattress that will best suit your body and your needs.

11. Have a symmetrical bedroom

If you are planning to move, choose a square bedroom, as it is this type of arrangement that allows for a restful sleep.

When a space is not optimally arranged or there are columns in the middle, the energy load can be unbalanced. This is why it is better to place the beds away from these elements.

Likewise, the larger the room, the more restful the sleep will be.

Make your room comfortable, beautiful and relaxing

These are simple, easy, and fun ideas to make. Bring an original touch to your room while keeping in mind the end goal: rest.
