After a long day at the office, or returning from traveling, all you want is a serene space where you can unwind and truly relax. Designing your master bedroom as a haven for serenity may be difficult, but is essential to your health and overall wellbeing. Adding nature inspired furniture pieces and accessories can be the first step, but here are a few more suggestions to take your comfortable bedroom to a whole new level of relaxation.
- Eliminate the screens: Studies have shown that people who watch television in bed do not sleep as well as those who do not. Replace your bedroom television with soothing artwork and wind down from the day by reading a book in a plush armchair before bed instead to ensure a better night's sleep.
- Keep work at bay: Your bedroom should promote a feeling of comfort and rest, not be a dumping ground for the day's stress. If it is at all possible, avoid working on your laptop or doing paperwork on your bed. Combining work with your place of rest not only does not allow you relax, but weakens the association your brain has with your bed and feeling sleepy. Also, investing in a quality mattress that allows you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer is vital for being more rested and ready for the day.
- Smelling serenity: Aromatherapy has gained in popularity in recent years through its ability to help people get in better moods. Strategically placing scents like lavender and jasmine, which has been proven to alleviate tension and promote tranquility, around your room can keep you calm throughout the night. Lavender is also a beautiful accessory to add in any decorative vase on the perfect wooden nightstand, dresser, or desk.
