Your bedroom should be the one place in your house where you can sit back and relax. But what if it’s not, what’s in your bedroom is causing you more stress and is as far as you can get from relaxing?
If you’re navigating piles of laundry, broken wardrobes, and peeling wallpaper, then it’s high time you gave yourself a bedroom makeover and overhauled your space, turning it from chaos and clutter to calm and serene.
Declutter
Stop looking at those clear boxes of “stuff” on the top of your wardrobe and do something about them. Get a plan in place to declutter your bedroom and find new homes for everything. Use alternative storage options in different rooms in the house if you need to, and remove anything you no longer want or need.
Be it old books, magazines, kids’ toys or piles of clothes you’ve been meaning to take to the charity shop but haven’t got around to it yet. Sort it, organise it, and get the clutter gone.
Calming Colours
If you’re up for decorating, then find some calming colours you can relax in and get going on switching up the look and feel of the room. If you’re not ready to fully redecorate, then look at how you can use colour to create a calming vibe in the room. From adding art to walls, changing over bedding and adding floor rugs in a different colour, you have options to help you use colour to create a room you can truly relax in, even if you don’t redecorate.
Refresh with New Furniture
Whether you desperately need a new bed or your wardrobe is hanging on for dear life, if you need new furniture, it’s time to look for discount furniture to revamp your space and help you add more organisation to your bedroom.
Consider bedside tables or units, a chest of drawers, a new vanity maybe, and give the room a complete makeover with products that help you create the room you’re looking for and one that makes you feel good when you go to bed each night.
Improve Lighting
The lighting in your bedroom needs to be soft so it sets the mood. Ideally, you want to be laying lighting so you can illuminate the room without the need for harsh overhead lights.
Swap the bulb in your ceiling light to a warm bulb, layer it with wall or side lamps, use fairy lights around the room if you wish or backlights for your TV. Then, for brighter lighting when applying makeup, for example, choose an LED-lit mirror for your vanity for the bright light where you need it, when you need it.
Add Personal Touches
Bedrooms should be personal, not designed like hotel rooms that need to appeal to a wider audience. Include family photos, artwork you love, your favourite books, soft furnishings you love like chunky blankets and soft rugs, splurge out on high thread count bedding and invest in that mattress topper you can sink into each night. Make it yours with whatever you need for a truly relaxing bedtime experience.
