Bedroom Interiors For A Good Night’s Sleep

If you are one of those people who have spent countless precious nights of sleep tossing and turning, unable to find comfort in your own room, it is time to consider redecorating your space. Not only Vaastu or Feng Shui experts, but a growing number of design gurus around the world are of the belief that small changes in the environment of your bedroom can significantly help improve your sleep quality.

The hues you choose to adorn your bedroom interiors with and the way in which your furniture has been arranged can also have a direct influence on the quality of sleep you get each night and for how long.

Let’s take a look at some of our favourite design secrets that help you get your much needed beauty sleep –

– As soon as you walk into your bedroom does your bed call out for you to cuddle inside it and get lost in the cushions? Chances are that your bed is harder than the one your body is used to or that is needs a dose of plush! Adorn your room with some cosy and comfortable looking plush rugs and cushion which not only look extremely calming but also help muffle the noise from the outside. Invest in a soft quilt that helps you relax your body every time you are under it.

– A surprisingly large number of bedrooms, especially in homes located in primarily colder regions don’t have fans. Even if it is for that single week in the year where the temperatures go up for a little, having a ceiling fan in your bedroom is a great way to have more control over the temperatures in that space. The ideal sleeping temperatures is around 24 degrees centigrade.

– An excellent way to create a relaxing and calming feel for your bedroom is to place some plants in there. If you have a large enough window sill or a balcony space, grow plants and flowers that give out fragrance with the soft breeze that flows into your room. Mint, Basil and other herbs along with Lavender and Jasmine are great plants to grow at home. If this is not an option, place paintings, photos and other organic materials around your room to create a calming ambiance.

– The colours you choose for your bedroom is directly linked with your heart rate, respiration, blood pressure levels and eventually sleep patterns. Hues such as greens, blues and greys are calming and soothing to look at and hence help create an environment that is conducive to great sleep.

– Especially if you room is facing the east, chances are that you are woken up early every morning with the first ray of light. As romantic as this may sound, you may want to sleep in a little longer on mornings when you have had a late night or you have worked longer hours. Invest in thick and dark blinds and curtains that help keep the light out.

With a variety of easy fixes to choose from, you will soon be able to get your beauty sleep back and get rid of those dark circles around your eyes!
