Turn Your Room Into A Haven

As humans, we spend around one-third of our lives sleeping and most of it happens in our own bedroom. It’s a place to unwind after a long day, relax, and get some quality rest, so it’s perfectly normal to have a clear idea of how you want it to look. The good news is that remodeling a bedroom is one of the easiest and most affordable projects you could do. It’s usually enough to make a few surface changes and your bedroom can get a whole new look. Follow these steps to achieve the look, feel and comfort you desire for your bedroom:

  • Start with a plan
  • Declutter and organize
  • Consider painting a wall or two
  • Make your bed
  • Create the perfect ambiance

Create a Bedroom “Plan”

Take everything you are and everything you do into an account and that’s the first step to getting the bedroom of your dreams, tailored just for you.

First, you need to decide what kind of bedroom you want. Besides colors and styles, it’s essential to adjust your bedroom to your lifestyle. Is your bedroom for sleeping only? Or you like to snuggle in it during the day to read a good book or cuddle with your kids and pets? Speaking of pets – if you have them and they shed, you might want to reconsider the color of the linens and carpets you have. Take everything you are and everything you do into an account and that’s the first step to getting the bedroom of your dreams, tailored just for you.

Declutter & Organize

Since most people nowadays have too much stuff, the easiest way to update any corner of your home is to declutter it or at least reorganize the items which are not in their place. Start with your wardrobe and get rid of the clothes you don’t like or don’t fit anymore. Sell them or donate them – it’s up to you as long as your wardrobe stays clean and represents the real you. After you’ve done that, organize your closet and drawers and then proceed onto your nightstand. There’s no need to keep a library there so put all of the books you’ve read or don’t plan to read soon back on the shelf.

Show off your colors

One of the most affordable ways to update any room is by repainting it, so don’t hesitate to do it if you don’t like the atmosphere in your bedroom. If you’re uncertain of what to choose, you can go along with color psychology. For example, blue is almost always associated with calmness and relaxation (because it’s the color of the sky) while green is the color balance (since it’s in the middle of the spectrum and resembles the nature). Bright colors, such as orange and yellow will get you energized, so make your choice. And don’t worry about getting it wrong – you can always repaint it again.

Make Your Bed

The bed is the key piece of every bedroom, so you’ll want it to be both stylish and comfortable. That’s why finding a good mattress is essential. In an attempt to find the best mattress for the money, perhaps the most important thing is to find your firmness level and to opt for natural material to make you sleep like a baby. Next thing to worry about is your headboard. You can keep it simple or go for rich, upholstered types that are trending this season in interior design. Finally, it’s time to pick appropriate linens. Keep it simple with neutral colors but make it stand out with unusual cushion cover pattern.

Adjust your lighting

…make sure you have some kind of task light on your nightstand, too, to avoid eye strain when reading

Using standard, bright light bulbs are fine for the kitchen or dining room but, for the bedroom, you’ll want something intimate and relaxing. That’s why investing in a dimmer is a good idea, especially if your bedroom is used for several activities. Make sure you have some kind of task light on your nightstand, too, to avoid eye strain when reading. If you wish to make it a bit more romantic, consider hanging string lights above your bed or on the window to get that cozy glow.
