5 quick and easy ways you can refresh your bedroom

Your bedroom is the one place that’s all about you. It’s not a space many others will frequent, so it’s the perfect room to reflect your personality while ensuring it’s a relaxing place to enjoy. All it takes is a few quick and easy ideas to give your sleep sanctuary the refresh it needs to help you sink into a deeper slumber each and every night. Here’s our top 5 ways you can rest and relax with just a minor update to your space. What are you waiting for…dive in!

 #1: Find the right mattress

First thing’s first, if you’re after a good night’s sleep then it’s time to invest in a good-quality mattress that will lull you into slumber at the end of each day. It’s the easiest way to refresh the feel of your bedroom, adding instant comfort and a touch of luxury.

The right mattress for you is an individual choice, so it’s important to do a little research. For instance,  are you a back, side or tummy sleeper? Do you run hot or cold at night? Do you prefer a more supportive mattress, or something that eliminates partner disturbance? All these factors will help you decide the right mattress for you.

#2: Add some storage

It’s amazing what a little tidying and clearing away can do when it comes to reducing your stress levels and increasing that feeling of relaxation. Often, clutter in your bedroom = clutter in your mind. Add a few storage items to your bedroom, so you can place that clutter out of sight, and out of mind (unless you choose to go looking for it). Here’s a few to consider:

• Under bed storage. If you have the space, utilise storage space under your bed. It’s a great place to pop shoes, books, and other items that are building up in your room, while still having them on hand if you need to access them.
• Wall cubbies. Mount some cubbies on your wall to get things off the floor! They make a great bedside table alternative, while also helping your room look even bigger.
• Add some drawers. Drawers are the best way to store little knick knacks that are cluttering up your space. Add bowls or organisers inside the drawers to keep everything neat and tidy.

#3: Install some mood lighting

It can be hard to settle in for sleep with bright lights blaring at you. While it’s helpful to have proper lighting in the bedroom to protect your eyes when reading and carrying out other activities, when it’s time to settle for sleep, mood lighting can have an instant effect. This is where bedside lamps come into play.

Adding a simple, dimmable bedside lamp not only adds visual appeal to your space, but it offers instant mood lighting to help you prepare for sleep. Better yet, bedside lamps come in many shapes and forms – all tailored to your personality. String some fairy lights around your room, make a statement with a floor lamp, or pick out some matching bedside table lamps that add a cute spot of colour.

#4: Update your quilt

A new quilt cover is a quick and easy way to change the entire look of your bedroom. Your bed is often the focal point of your bedroom – and where your eyes are first drawn as you enter. Brighten up your space with bold colours and patterns that add a little contrast and interest to your bedroom. If you’re going for a more laid-back vibe, consider softer pastels and solid colours that will help you enter a state of relaxation more readily.

If you do a little research into the right bedding for your needs, you may even manage a better night’s sleep. From breathable materials, to lightweight alternatives, a pile of pillows to rest on, or sheet sets that brighten up your space, the right bedding can work wonders.

 #5: Add a floor rug

A floor rug has the power to change the look and feel of your bedroom, while also adding an extra layer of comfort when the weather cools. 

Throw a light rug over a dark carpet or floorboard to instantly brighten the look and feel of your bedroom. If you’re looking to make a statement, opt for bold colours that will draw the eye in as soon as you enter.

You can also use the floor rug to introduce some new colours to your room, offering a quick and easy refresh that can be matched with a few new cushions on your bed in the same colour palette. Voila!

Refresh your space

It’s so easy to give your space an immediate refresh that not only allows your personality to shine, but also helps you enjoy a better night’s sleep. With these five tips you can instantly transform your room and relax the minute you arrive home.
