Stop counting sheep, and count these 10 ways to transform your bedroom into a tranquil oasis instead.
1. Follow a calming colour palette. Keep to neutrals, soft greys and muted tones.
2.If you’re big on colour, add one or two accents, like an arm chair or throw.
3.Invest in linen bedding. It’s breathable, feels delicious, and you can mix and match your colours to up the luxe factor.
4.Tap into this year’s trend of bringing elements of nature indoors. Incorporate artwork with naturalist subjects like skies, seascapes and forests. Stick to one to two prints only.
5.Make friends with indoor plants. Fact: they bring on calming vibes (and just look plain awesome).
6.Exposed lightbulbs look great but can be a little bright and rough on the eyes. Invest in a beautiful shade – think equal parts good-looking, practical for reading, and soft for winding down after a long day.
7.Use just one scent for your room. Creating a scent association with your sanctuary will instantly put you into relaxation mode after a hectic day.
8.Declutter your bedside table using the rule of three. That is, only three items on it ever.
9.Stack your mags away from your bed with the spines against a wall to achieve a neutral effect. Place one or two decorative items on top like a plant or candle to keep it from looking like clutter.
10.Add cushy, inviting textures like velvet or wooly knits via cushions and throws
