TURN YOUR
BEDROOM
INTO A
Relaxing Retreat
Bedrooms are more than places to lay our heads at the
end of the day. Bedrooms serve different functions, and
not all are conducive to relaxation.
People who use their bedrooms as a work space may fi nd
they’re compromising their well-being by introducing activities
into the bedroom. The Sleep Foundation says having an
offi ce in the bedroom blurs the lines between work and personal
life, which can have serious effects on sleep. Rather,
people should be looking to turn their bedrooms into relaxing
retreats that offer a respite from the outside world.
• Remove blue-light emitting devices. Computers, tablets,
smartphones, and other electronic devices emit blue light,
which can compromise natural melatonin production in the
body that contributes to sleep. Such devices should not be
used at night in the bedroom.
• Use a neutral color palette. Neutral color palettes evoke a
spa feeling. Walls can be painted white, beige or a light shade
of gray. This can help the room feel calming and welcoming.
• Declutter the room. A sense of calm can be achieved simply
by removing excess clutter. There is some evidence that
the brain is more calm near an empty dresser, desk or clothes
hamper. Therefore, removing excessive items from the room
is a fi rst step to making a nice retreat.
• Add soft lighting. Adjust the intensity and the color of the
lighting in the bedroom. It should be subtle and warming.
Dimmers enable homeowners to adjust lighting as needed.
• Install an electric fi replace. There is something to be said
for the relaxing effects of gazing into the fl ames of a fi re. A
crackling (faux-wood) fi re is an added layer of indulgence in
a bedroom.
• Add an area rug. Even in rooms with carpeting, an area rug
under the bed can further defi ne the perimeter of the bed and
add extra plushness underfoot.
• Invest in aromatherapy diffusers. Certain smells can create
a relaxing mood. These may be sandalwood, lavender or
jasmine. Utilizing their preferred scents, homeowners can employ
reed diffusers in their bedrooms to enjoy the aromas of
natural oils.
• Used closed storage. Open shelves and visible closet interiors
may not hide a mess. Exposure to clutter can contribute
to feelings of anxiety. Store items that shouldn’t be on display
behind closed doors or drawers.
• Bring in luxury linens. Homeowners should not skimp on
comforters, sheets, duvet covers, and pillows for their beds.
A cozy bed to dive right into can serve as the centerpiece of a
bedroom retreat.
