How to Create a Peaceful Bedroom

After a long day at work or school, the first thing you want to do is escape to a peaceful place to decompress. Coming home to a messy, cluttered bedroom can add more stress than you need, so creating a peaceful bedroom that is calm and soothing can abate unnecessary tension. Finding your inner peace can be done in a few easy and affordable steps. Today, we will help you turn your bedroom into the tranquil sanctuary of your dreams.

Design

Designing a peaceful room begins by creating a space that gives you total zen. One of the best ways to add a beautiful element to a peaceful room is by installing tiles. Not only can you create a space that mirrors the atmosphere that you desire, but the room will feel cozy and calm and fresh.

Lighting

Lighting is one of the most important features in your bedroom because you need the right lighting to help you secure a full night of sleep. Bright LED lights can often lead to restless nights and sleep deprivation. Bright lights at night are proven to decrease melatonin levels, the hormone responsible for helping you sleep. The blue light that is emitted from fluorescent light bulbs can cause your body to think it’s still daytime; instead of preparing your body to sleep, these lights cause your body to stay up later at night. In order to fix this problem, decrease your screen time two to three hours before bedtime to get your body ready for bed and have your eyes send signals to your brain to begin producing melatonin to sleep. Additionally, you can invest in red lights, which are a low color temperature, alerting your body that it’s time to sleep. Other lamps, such as salt lamps, are an aesthetic lamp that improve air quality, reduce allergies, and can help you sleep better at night.

Bedding

The bed is the centerpiece of the bedroom. This is where you spend a third of your life, so investing in a quality mattress will create a comfortable bedroom that allows you to sleep well at night and feel a sense of peace when you’re home. Along with finding the right mattress for you, whether firm or soft, you need to invest in top-quality bedding that’s comfortable for your skin. It should keep you warm on cool nights, and cool on warm nights. Opt for neutral, minimal-tone bedding that will keep your room looking chic and simple. Luxury duvet covers are a great way to update your bedroom. They’ll bring style and simplicity, and will create a peaceful space for you to sleep and relax.

Sound

Are you living in a bustling city with endless noise, sirens, and car honking? Or a rural farm with complete silence, where the drop of a pin can wake you up? Regardless of your sleeping environment, it’s important to eliminate noises that can keep you up at night. Luckily, there are white noise machines that produce ambient noise with different frequencies that help drown out loud noises and keep you sound asleep at night. Most of these adaptive sound technologies come with other sounds such as fans, waterfalls, or dense forests to create a soothing feel in any room you place it. To create an even more peaceful bedroom that emulates a spa, you can purchase a Bluetooth speaker and create a playlist or find an online radio station that plays soothing music or sounds that can help you stay relaxed before bed or while you do work at your desk.

Exercising Your Body

Perform light stretching, meditation, or yoga to relax your body and decompress after a long day. These techniques will help you reflect on your past and anticipate your future. Exercising your mind and body will also help your body get ready for bed. Dedicate a corner of your room as an exercise space. Place a comfortable yoga mat down, plug in your salt lamp, and play earthy forest sounds. Take a deep breath and start or end your day on a good note.

Creating a peaceful bedroom is a great way to take care of both your mind and body. While it’s often easy to prioritize decorating areas where you’ll entertain guests, like the family room, the bedroom is equally important. Being able to lay down at night on a comfortable mattress with luxury sheets will ensure you sleep throughout the entirety of the night while providing comfort for your spine and joints. Being conscious of your blue light intake (from phones, computers, tablets, and fluorescent lights bulbs) during the hours before you go to bed is important. Reduce blue light consumption and opt for cooler temperature colors, like red or pink light that’s produced from lights such as salt lamps. Paired with peaceful sounds of nature or white noise, you will create a peaceful sanctuary in your bedroom in no time.
