Your bedroom is the most private space in your home. Your beautiful boudoir should be a place that makes you feel calm and relaxed. A place that allows you to unwind and feel at peace. With all the mayhem circulating our day to day lives it’s important our homes reflect our personalities. Whether you like cottage chic, the industrial look or even the minimalistic look. Here are a few little touches that make a big difference when it comes to making your house a home.
De-Clutter
In order for our homes to feel calm, we must ensure they’re organised and free of clutter and mess. Take the time to sift through your wardrobe and get rid of any clothes you no longer use. Look out for items you don’t need anymore. You could give them to friends or family or even donate to a charity shop.
Then take a look at the furniture in your home. Is there anything you no longer love or use? Remove any bulky furniture that isn’t needed any more. Once you get started and start to see the changes, it will become easier to keep doing.
Focus On The Detail
Now you’ve got rid of all the clutter, it’s the time to hone in on the finer details. There are so many places you can get both affordable and more high end homewares to add character and personality back in to your home. Look at adding fresh flowers and plants to breathe new life into the room. Personalise it with photos and sentimental items. Look at the textiles in your room. Replace worn out rugs with new, colourful ones. Add warm, cosy throws and cushions to your bed to add layers and a unique dynamic to your space.
Create Mood & Atmosphere
Lighting is the top way that you can add a soothing atmosphere to your desired room. Using lamps and accent lighting will ensure that you don’t have to endure any more harsh lighting after a long day at the office. Avoiding overhead lighting and focusing solely on pretty lamps will mean your boudoir looks inviting and relaxing.
When it comes to lighting options, there’re so many to choose from. It really depends on the look and feel you’re going for. I would always suggest using bulbs with warm white lighting as cool white is just too bright. Not what you generally want the trying to relax in your bedroom.
Also, if you can, try to go for the energy saving bulbs as these can save you a lot of money over the years. We recently upgraded our bedside lamps to these gorgeous ones from Cult Furniture.
Opt For Candles
Candles are great for creating a relaxing and inviting space. For example, these Bolsius Candles look great on top of the fireplace, creating a warm and cozy feel; whether the fire is on or not. I love watching flames flicker and dance, it’s so relaxing and almost hypnotising. I love how these candles match really well with the clock (a wedding gift) and the huge mirror above the oak beam mantle piece. These ones aren’t scented and to be honest I’m not sure I will even light them, they are more for decoration than for burning in my opinion.
Using candles not only adds a calming, soothing ambience but will also fill your rooms with beautiful scents for you to enjoy. Some scents such as lavender are actually scientifically proven to help you relax; great if you suffer with anxiety or buzzy-head syndrome.
With our day’s beginning and ending in our bedrooms this is an essential space to invest time and creativity in order to make them feel as special and relaxing as we deserve.
