Is your bedroom designed to improve sleep and relaxation? Studies published by the Sleep Foundation discovered that bedrooms with a balance of light, sleepy-friendly noises, comfort, and temperature control improve relaxation. Let this research guide your next bedroom makeover. By modeling your bedroom after a spa, you can put these studies into practice to create a tranquil retreat. Start with these calming spa bedroom ideas.
Choose a Calming Zen Bedroom Color Palette
Which colors make you feel the most calm? Starting with a tranquil color palette can help guide the rest of your bedroom makeover choices, from bedding to lighting. First, decide if you want to go light or dark. Strike a good balance, as too much light (or darkness) can result in mood problems. Thus, if you’re considering a light-colored room, avoid stark white. If you’re going dark, avoid painting your room all black. Instead, consider a light lavender for the former or a cool dark green for the latter. Good light shades to consider include pale blue, smoke, frosty hues, faded turquoise, soft pink, and cornflower blue. Calming dark hues for the bedroom include charcoal, plumb, deep turquoise, and navy blue. Once you’ve picked out your wall colors, use a color wheel to find complementary colors for your furniture, decor, and interiors.
Select Your Relaxing Bedroom Furniture
Your next step is to choose your bedroom furniture. Keep your color chart handy. You’ll need it to craft bedding color combinations. Think about the layout of your bedroom, too. Tranquility should clear one’s mind, even helping them to be more proactive. Consider a feng shui layout to declutter your space (and mind!) Consider simple nightstands, modern bedframes, round desks, and one cozy chair. Leave plenty of breathing room, allowing fresh air to circulate. Minimalism isn’t the only option. Are you inspired by cozy, cottage-like spas? Browse cozy aesthetic room ideas from your favorite magazine ideas and Pinterest. Consider daybeds with quilts, large plush pillows, soft, heavy drapes, wood paneling, and standing clothes racks. If your room is large enough, you could even add a comfy (yet stylish) sofa by the window for added relaxation.
Spa Bedroom Ideas For Interior Decor
Next, explore various ideas for interior decor. If you’re going the minimalist route, consider fresh plants, tabletop zen gardens, and even mini fountains. Natural water sounds can help induce relaxation and better sleep. Bowls of crystals, desktop succulents, and natural stone sculptures also work well. For cozier bedrooms, you may want to hang tapestries on the wall or invest in more wall art. Naturalist wall decor like paintings of birds, cottages, and butterflies work well. Consider tabletop decor made from tree bark, mason jars, and baskets to create a cozy spa-like vibe. Don’t forget about soft lighting. This type of lighting design works for both minimalist and cozy aesthetics.
