Q

Once your bedroom is clean and clutter-free, pick and choose from the list below to enhance your space and get a better night’s sleep: Use a linen spray or essential-oil diffuser with a relaxing scent like lavender or rose Keep a small vase of fresh flowers on your nightstand Do a few gentle stretches or yoga poses to help release the tensions of the day Take a warm bath with essential oils before bed Sip a cup of herbal tea and write in your journal Gradually dim the lights in your bedroom an hour before bed, ending with just a single candle before blowing it out and going to sleep

Q

Take some time to sit quietly in your refreshed space and list the colors, objects and activities you’d like to invite more of into your room. Pick one item on your list and take a step toward making it a reality. For example, if you’d like to paint your bedroom a more soothing hue, take a trip to the paint store to pick up swatches. If you’d like to incorporate meditation into your nightly routine, create a quiet corner with cushions where you can practice.

Q

What would a peaceful bedroom look and feel like to you? Consider whether there’s a certain color (like vivid turquoise) or object (like a vase of fresh flowers) that really brings to mind the mood you want to create. Only bring in objects with the intention of cultivating peaceful, restorative feelings.

Q

Remove anything that reminds you of work, bills or to-dos from within visual range of your bed. If you can find a place to store these items in a different room, do so. If not, clear out a drawer or shelf in a closed cabinet to keep them out of view.

Q

Ideally, the bedroom would be solely devoted to rest and relaxation, but if you live in a smaller space, this simply may not be possible. If you must make room for your desk in the bedroom, aim for a setup that allows you to hide everything away when you’re done working. Tuck work-related items into drawers and cabinets, leaving surfaces as clean and clear as possible for a restful feeling.

Q

Center yourself by taking a few deep, calming breaths before you begin. Then start sorting through items in your bedroom, piece by piece, choosing those you want to keep there and removing everything else. Don’t worry right now about where the unwanted items will go — separating out this part of the process can make decision-making much easier.

Q

How to create a calm and beautiful space that restores the body, mind and spirit The first step on the road to a joyful, clutter-free home is giving clutter the boot. It’s all too easy to let the bedroom become a dumping ground for all the random items that don’t seem to fit anywhere else. So the first step in clearing clutter is to consider what you do want in the bedroom. Fresh sheets, good lighting, your current book on the nightstand.

Q

We’re used to seeing beds enveloped by canopies and sheltered by four posters, but a lower-profile cubby that cradles the sides of the bed can be just as comforting. I love the way the nightstands nest perfectly into the corners so that the whole bedscape feels like a single unit.

Q

Of all the rooms in a home, the bedroom is the most important to keep calm and simple. To encourage deep, replenishing rest, keep computer screens out of the bedroom, and layer the bed in natural fibers like crisp linen or cotton sheets and thick wool blankets. If you have overhead lighting, put the switches on dimmers so that you can turn down the lights before bed.

Q

Cool headboard

Q

Banish televisions, computers and exercise equipment from the bedroom. To make it a peaceful haven, you need to ensure that you aren’t bringing your work to bed with you. Creating an oasis devoid of technology will allow you to connect better to your natural biorhythms.

Q

Fans help provide good circulation and fresh air, which will aid in a good night’s sleep. It’s not imperative to have a fan, but it’s certainly a bonus to any healthy bedroom. Just be sure to find one that makes as little noise as possible.

Q

Bedside lighting is critical. Soft, soothing lighting is ideal for a bedroom. Having light fixtures on a dimmer is also a smart move since it lets you regulate the amount of light that your fixture emits. Adjustable sconce lighting is a great option because it allows you to keep your nightstand neat and tidy, and it can be positioned to provide optimal lighting for reading in bed.

Q

Even though your eyes will be closed when you go to sleep, if you have too many distractions in your bedroom, it may be hard to actually fall asleep. It’s wise to get rid of the clutter around your bed. Keeping your bedroom clear of distractions will help you clear your mind at the end of a long day.

Q

When it comes to the bedroom, cooler hues are the better choice because of their calming effect. Blue, lilac and cool shades of gray promote rest, while warm tones can often be energizing and more likely to keep you up at night.

Q

Your body repairs itself while you sleep, and it needs darkness to do so effectively. There are many options for blackouts that filter enough light so you can wake up in the morning naturally to sunshine yet provide sufficient privacy during the day.
