Getting a good night’s sleep is considered to be a blessing in this fast-paced and stressed-out world. Many people stick to a strict bedtime routine and follow a sleep-enhancing diet to enable them to sleep better but most important of all is a cozy and comfortable environment.
Though there are many physical factors like temperature, brightness, sound, and comfort level that influence your sleep, we have listed out few elements that can be put together to make your bedroom feel extra cozy and help you to sleep well.
Get rid of clutter – It’s natural for your bedroom to become a dumping place for bags, laundry, books, and many other kinds of stuff as the bedroom is away from other’s sight. But it is essential to maintain a neat, clutter-free, and clean environment to make your mind peaceful and serene. Make sure your bedside table has minimal things on it like an alarm clock, a table lamp, a showpiece or photo frame, and a glass of water.
Soft bedding – Just by remembering the soft feel of your bed sheets and comforters, you should be motivated to wind up your tasks soon and snuggle up on your bed. Softness has to be the keyword for all your bed linens. While purchasing a bedsheet, go for breathable natural materials like linen or cotton to ensure that it doesn’t warm up your body at night. It is sensible to opt for good quality sheets as you end up spending long hours in the company of your bed.
Comfortable mattress – Do you feel comfortable lying on your bed? If not, it’s time to swap out your mattress. Researchers say that a mattress has a lifespan of approximately eight years after which it needs to be replaced. So, you can judge the comfort level of your mattress and decide when is the right time to switch to a new mattress.
Ambient lighting – It becomes mandatory to give special attention to lighting as it has the magic to transform a mere bedroom into a sleeping sanctuary. Choose a light fixture that remits good ambiance and peaceful mood also note that soft lighting brings in warmth and coziness. A combination of bedside lamp and ceiling fixtures are sure to make your bedroom beautiful and inviting.
Soothing colors – Colors have the charm to manipulate your mind so choose pale and light colors for the walls to lend a cool and peaceful atmosphere to your bedroom. Spreading sheets with nature-inspired designs are sure to give a fresh feel to your body and mind. Pastel shaded curtains have a soothing effect while on the contrary, blackout curtains give privacy and maintain a perfect balance of temperature within the room thereby making the room your calming refuge.
