How to create a mindful bedroom space

Sleep is something you should never overlook. The human body requires between seven and nine hours of sleep every night to rest and recover for the day ahead. However, your room layout may be limiting your sleep, making it harder to drift off when you need to.

Fortunately, there are so many options to transform your bedroom into a relaxing haven, perfect for helping you unwind after a hard day. Encourage a good night’s sleep by creating a tranquil space using the following mindful interior design tips.

 

Calming colours 

Different tones and hues determine the vibe of your space. It’s important to incorporate calm, muted colours and avoid loud, overpowering shades if you’re hoping to create a revitalising bedroom.  

If you think your bedroom colours need a refresh, consider trying muted versions of the following shades to create a calming effect:

• Powder Blue
• Mint Green
• Baby Pink
• Light Grey
• Lavender Violet

 

Natural textures 

Texturizing your bedroom with comfortable furnishings and accessories is an excellent way to add an extra layer of cosiness to the space. Soft, natural materials like cotton and linen will truly enhance your nighttime slumber. Plus, investing in a comfortable, breathable bedspread can help improve your sleep, ensuring you wake up feeling fresh and energised.

Thick blankets are great investments through the winter months as they keep you warm and cosy when temperatures drop.

 

Cosy lighting 

Unwind in style with lighting that sets a relaxing mood by avoiding harsh white lights and choosing warm ones instead. Dimmer switches can help set the tone, ensuring your bedroom always appears inviting. Bedside lamps offer a downlit atmosphere ideal for unwinding.

Wake-up and sleep lights are a great investment if you want to fall asleep and wake up peacefully. These lights emulate sunrises and sunsets, helping you wake up more naturally through the dark winter months.

 

Tidy space 

Cluttered bedrooms can lead to cluttered minds, with studies showing that those with messier bedrooms take longer to fall asleep. Try to maintain a tidy, clutter-free space to achieve mindfulness by having adequate storage facilities in your bedroom.  

Fitted wardrobes are a great way to make the most of rooms no matter their size, offering ample storage space for your items. Plus, they help you organise clothes and accessories, making it a little easier to pick an outfit in the morning.

 

Use greenery 

Bring the outside in by including houseplants in your bedroom design. Their calming qualities are perfect for creating a mindful ambience and are known to help reduce anxiety. Some of the best plants for bedroom designs include English Ivy, Snake Plants and Aloe Vera, which can improve air and sleep quality.
