Know Your Bedroom Basics

A bedroom is the place where you drop your guard and curl up to enjoy some well deserved rest. Now take a check and see if you can make it more comfortable and conducive for complete relaxation?

Many homes have their Television sets placed inside the bedroom, not to mention a blaring audio set, computer, which clacks till midnight and so on. A bedroom has to not only be a quiet retreat but it must also be pleasing to all your senses.

We have for you ten easy tips for you to follow and enjoy the difference.

  • Make it cozy. Sheets are important not just for looks but for comfort too. Choose sheets, which have a thread count of 180 or higher. You will find them soft and comfy.
  • Paint the walls in warm tones and textures that will make the room glow in natural or artificial light.
  • Always select muted colours, pastel shades and light hues for your bedroom. It will immediately have a calming effect on your nerves. Vibrant colours can be reserved for other areas of your home.
  • You can also combine smooth, crisp sheets with plush velvety blankets to give your bedroom that inviting feeling.
  • By adding few plump pillows you will bring in a nice cuddly comfort into the area.

  • If you find your bed sagging or too firm, you can go in for mattress pads which will add the much needed layer of comfort and support.
  • It is a good idea to choose colours for curtains, pillowcases, cushion covers and bed sheets according to the season.
  • The fragrance for your bedroom has to be chosen carefully. Neither too strong, not too mild but something soothing, non-intrusive and calming. During spring use fresh spring fragrances and in winter choose rich and warm winter scents. Check with your retail shop.
  • Avoid bright overhead lights in the bedroom. Light bulbs with lower wattage or ink-toned lights in bedside lamps offer unobtrusive lighting. Make sure the lights have shades.
  • You could have good music stacked up inside your bedroom to lull you to sleep. Try these and see your bedroom transform into a super comfort zone.
