1. Choose Colours to Promote Sleep
The power of color is known to influence our mood, with some colors particularly promoting sleep and the onset of sleep. It is recommended to opt for a color palette that will help you fall into the arms of Morpheus. Choose tones based on your type of decor and your preferred ambiance. If you desire a calm and cozy environment, it’s better to focus on soft and warm colors with a bohemian or natural design. For a more modern and industrial decor, shades of gray will create a cooler and invigorating atmosphere when waking.
However, avoid anxiety-inducing colors found in shades of orange and red, especially for a child’s room, which could cause some minor issues during bedtime routines. Pastel colors could be a perfect fit!
Don’t forget the ceiling – although most of us opt for a classic white, a touch of color will envelop your haven of rest.
Also, explore eco-friendly paint options for a more environmentally conscious choice.
2. Choosing Bedding
Changing the quality of your sheets is often a good way to improve comfort at a lower cost. Depending on your tolerance for heat or winter cold, several types of textiles will surely cater to your tastes. Sometimes, it’s better to invest in two sets of higher-quality sheets than to have a multitude of uncomfortable ones.
Also opt for a pillow that will meet your needs, and help you avoid all kinds of discomfort and pain. Remember, it will accompany you every night.
3. The Influence of Space
According to Feng Shui principles, it would seems that the orientation of the bed has a significant influence on the quality of our sleep. A bed oriented to the north would promote energy circulation, as well as a well-organized space in the room. Avoid placing your bed in front of a door, or near a window. Light is also something to monitor; darkness will favor better rest.
4. Deep Cleaning!
Say goodbye to dust! Cleaning the room thoroughly will allow you to breathe better and eliminate allergens. Ventilating the room will bring a breath of fresh air and improve the room’s oxygen quality. If aromatherapy appeas to you, using an essential oil diffuser will envelop your well-being. A few hours before bedtime, fragrances like eucalyptus, lavender or chamomile will be perfect allies for peaceful sleep.
