A good bedroom design is important to ensure a good night’s sleep. Most people complain about lack of sleep or sleep deprivation which is often related to an imprecise bedroom atmosphere. If you want to wake up refreshed and energised, then your bedroom should be designed in such a way that it is cosy and offers a relaxing ambiance. There should be a sense of stability around the bed. To feel the goodness of balance, the bed has to be placed against a solid wall and should face away from doors and windows. Minimal lighting and darker drapes will also lend a cosy feeling to the room. And you will be able to sleep in peace.

Optimising the bedroom design by making little changes like avoiding clutter and not placing too many things in and around the room can also provide clarity to your mind. It is good to keep distractions such as open closets and overflowing dressers at bay. In short, keep the room neat, clean, and organised to usher in positivity and happiness. The room can be painted in muted tones or cool and warm hues as per your preference, to induce undisturbed sleep and relaxation.

Fill the room with plush rugs and textiles to make it cosy

The bedroom should be well decorated and the colours used should be calm and soothing. Accessories used in the room should be functional and should not come in the way of sleep. The room should be simple and serene without being loud. Beds should be paired with printed throw pillows, matching curtains and ottoman. The room can be filled with plush rugs and soft fabrics that make it cosy and inviting for a good night’s sleep. Keeping the room clean and smelling nice would also improve sleep.

Hang dark curtains and blinds to completely shut out light

Many people find it hard to sleep with a lot of light streaming in from outside. It is also good to fix dimmer switches that allow the control of light in the room which can be turned off when it is time to sleep. Blackout liners or heavy drapery can be used to block light coming from outside. Light and heavy drapes can be teamed too so that you can control the amount of outside light. Layered window treatments can also make a big difference, like using a combination of blinds or drapery panels.

Install a ceiling fan to keep the temperature cool but not cold

Installing a good ceiling fan can help keep the temperature of the bedroom in balance, so that the room is cool but not cold. The ceiling fan should be well oiled and serviced periodically so that there is no noise coming from it when it is switched on. With a fan, the air conditioner can be avoided as the noise coming from its whir can also affect sleep. Also the cold can be a distraction to sleeping patterns. It is also important to keep the ceiling fan and air conditioner dust free as the dust mites in the air can affect sleep. A clean and cool room will lead the way to good sleep.

Use indirect lighting to create a relaxed atmosphere

The right lighting can create suitable ambiance in a bedroom and make it ideal for relaxation and rest. Indirect light especially can create the perfect atmosphere for every mood. Care should be taken that the light is not too bright, and it is possible to regulate the intensity of the light. This can be achieved in many ways. Being able to control the brightness of the concealed lighting of the ceiling is one such way. Interesting effects can also be attained by incorporating LED lights in the bedroom. These lights can be used in the closets, with the bed headboard and they can produce a play of light and shadow.

Keep oil burners, incense and scented candles as decoration and ways of filling the room with soothing scents

Any scent that makes a person happy can provide uninterrupted sleep. The olfactory system of the body is directly connected to the emotional centre of the brain. So inhaling pleasant fragrances can bring good memories and make you feel invigorated. And your body will release feel-good, relaxing chemicals that can promote good sleep. Sleep enhancing scents can be in the form of a candle or a spray and can be used in the bedroom. By placing these candles in a holder in the bedroom and lighting it for some time will make the fragrance hang in the air, and this will induce sleep. A few drops of essential oils can also be sprayed onto pillows or the bed.

Make your bedroom a tech free zone

Sleep doctors insist that people should not use any electronic gadgets in the bedroom as they are distractions and can hinder peaceful sleep. If there is an absolute necessity for a television in the bedroom, it should be out of sight probably fitted inside the closet. Laptops and smartphones should be used outside the bedroom as they can be disturbing. The bedroom should be used as a place of rest and quiet ruminations, and should be devoid of all electronics. Instead, you can introduce a serene work of art or some fresh flowers for tranquillity.

Get a big comfortable bed and don’t store things underneath.

It is important to have a big comfortable bed that is soft and also firm, without sagging with the weight of the occupant. This can affect the back and in turn affect sleep. The bed linens should be clean smelling and freshly washed. Avoiding clutter and not storing things underneath the bed can improve the quality of sleep to a large extent. Change sheets each week so that they stay fresh and hygienic, and helps you to fall asleep quickly.
