How to Make Your Bedroom a Serene Sanctuary

May 01, 2022

Your bedroom should be a blissful haven

You deserve a space you can escape from all the activity of life. When you discover how to make your bedroom a sanctuary, you learn to prioritize yourself again.

It’s well worth the time and energy you spend creating an idyllic home. It’s more impactful than it may seem.

Looking forward to calmness and balance when you’re finally finished with all the day’s responsibilities helps you slip into a stress-free state of existence the moment you step over the threshold.

Taking just a few easy steps towards making your bedroom your sanctuary can make a huge difference to your sleep, your tranquility, and your health.

Put together a room that you love to spend time in

Match your desired mood with your favorite furnishings, colors, and lighting. You probably spend most of your time in your bedroom. So, you should love it. Make the colors that surround you with all your favorites. Most people find calm in more soothing tones like light greens, blues, or neutrals, but if you’re the kind of person that can’t live without bright color, go for it! What creates your peace is personal to you.

There are endless ways to bring color into a space. Textiles like pillows and blankets, wall art and hangings, rugs, curtains, and furniture all provide an opportunity to create a color palette.

If you’re unsure how to build a palette around the colors you love most, you can use a palette generator to get ideas.

Your bed should be comfortable, and you should have a place to sit. If you always sit in your bed when you’re in your room, it may disrupt your sleep triggers and make it harder to fall asleep at night.

Lastly, all lighting should be soft and comforting. Bright overhead lights are harsh and unflattering. Opt for softer ambient lighting from lamps, night lights, and string lights instead.

Each space in your home has a purpose, and your bedroom should bring you tranquility

Prioritize your peace. Keeping your bedroom clean and tidy is perhaps less enjoyable than choosing indoor furnishings, but no less important.

Your mind needs a space to unwind and relax after your day-to-day activities. If your bedroom is chaotic and haphazard, it will be harder to settle down in the evenings. If you’re the kind of person who needs a little mess to feel at home, there’s nothing wrong with that – but you should never be overwhelmed.

Keep distractions like your workstation, television, and food outside your bedroom.

Make sure your bedroom has fresh air or pleasant scents that bring you happiness

Have you ever walked into a store that smells beautiful and immediately felt pampered? Well, that’s the goal here too. Air quality and aromatics are just as important as visuals for creating a space you feel at home in.

Scented plants bring light touches of magical scents into the air. But even leafy green plants help filter the air and make it pure.

You can use candles, incense, or essential oils to create a scent palette that brings you peace and joy, triggering your mind to relax and wind down.

Beautiful habits should have a space in your home too

Whether you’re a morning person or prefer to give yourself self-care time in the evenings, your rituals should have a well-thought-out space within your home.

You should make physical and mental room for the practices that ground you and bring you balance.

Create a space for yoga, stretching, or physical activity that brings you calm. You can also create a space to meditate with calming colors, delightful aromatics and foster mental clarity. Or why not put together a magical bathroom that makes you feel like you walk into a spa every time you have to hop into a bath?

Make each ritual an essential part of winding down. Experience self-love and purpose by moving your body and hydrating it with delicate, peaceful aromatics.
