With our hectic day-to-day lives, we all need a special place we can relax, unwind, and be at ease. To enjoy such a sanctuary every night, why not make it your bedroom?
If you’re looking for more serenity in your daily routine, here are tips to help you transform your bedroom into a calming getaway you look forward to all day long.
1. Color theory and decor
One of the first considerations when transforming your bedroom into a soothing oasis should be its aesthetic. Colors can strongly affect the vibe of a space, so in your bedroom, consider choosing gentle, airy shades of blue, green, and white. You can also compliment these hues with a touch of grounding, earthy tones like tan and brown to make your room feel more inviting and in touch with nature.
2. High-quality bedding
No one wants to feel uncomfortable in their own safe haven, so make sure you outfit your bedroom with textures that feel good against your skin. This is especially true for the linens on your bed, where you’ll spend one-third of your life reaching for pleasant dreams.
Low-quality bedding can turn your bed into a hot, itchy experience that only leads to restless tossing and turning. Instead, make your bed a refuge of peaceful sleep with high-quality linens like the luxury bed sets from Villa Cotton. Made with soft and breathable Percale cotton with a silky-smooth thread count, our sheets, comforters, and duvet covers provide cloud-like comfort.
Plus, our hand-painted, Italian-inspired designs add a touch of elegance to your decor, bringing your bedroom even closer to the sanctuary you’ve been longing for.
3. Gentle lighting
When you’ve filled your bedroom with relaxing colors and plush bedding, the last thing you want to do is destroy that beautiful ambiance with overly harsh lighting. Avoid stark, bright lighting fixtures that wash out your decor and push your mind into a state of hyperactivity. Instead, cultivate a more restful atmosphere with low-wattage bulbs in warm tones.
4. No-screen zone
It’s safe to say that many of us have grown attached to our mobile devices, whether that means texting a loved one or scrolling our favorite social media app. But as much as screens have become central to our lives, they are not central to cultivating a feeling of calm and rest.
If you truly want to experience your bedroom as a retreat from the outside world, you must actively leave the outside world behind. Don’t bring in any devices that may tempt you to binge trash TV, fall down the rabbit hole of negative news stories, or leave you comparing your lifestyle to the photos posted by your friends. In your bedroom sanctuary, none of that matters. All that matters is your ability to enjoy the restorative sleep you so richly deserve.
A peaceful space for your beauty sleep
At Villa Cotton, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy their bedrooms as a sacred space of rest and rejuvenation. That’s why we create bedding that makes luxury-grade sleep available at affordable prices.
