Welcome Back Blog Readers,
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so today’s blog
post is about having the right vibe in your bedroom. By this we mean
specifically, how to create the best bedroom design mood. As we all know,
folks, with this winter being a rough one, we’ve all woken up on the wrong side
of the bed. Bedroom design can impact the quality of your sleep and can help
you start the day off right.
A lot of my clients ask me for bright colors and bold prints
in their wall coverings and fabrics. It might be exhilarating, but if you want
a calm atmosphere and better sleep quality, restful colors are soft neutrals,
such as: pastels, taupe, light grays, gray-greens, gray-blues, and the like. By
restful fabrics, stick with patterns of the same colors, even if it is a large
print. For bedding, it is most important to always purchase the highest thread
count possible. Quality for your sheets is of the utmost importance! When
choosing a down comforter, make sure it is feather down as it is lightweight
and the best choice for sound sleep.
Next to better sleep, my suggestion is to always keep your
bedroom clean. And folks, you know who you are. If there is a pile of laundry
in the corner or a stack of papers on a chair for work or your laptop left wide
open, your mind will always focus on the work you have to do, and you will not
be able to unwind. That is why I always suggest a home office separate from
your bedroom. I never answer an email or bring my design work into my bedroom.
So, folks, if you try these simple design tips, you might
just fall in love with your bedroom, and for some, maybe just in time for
Valentine’s Day!
And as I always say, “Don’t
be afraid to decorate!”
Best Always,
Robin
