Redecorate Your Bedroom to Sleep Better at Night

By: John Garcia | Date Posted: December 15, 2021

Sleep is an incredibly crucial process for our body. It is when we sleep that we get to recover from a busy day and recharge for the next one. Our brains become clearer and our bodies more energetic when we rest for at least eight hours. And all that is needed if we want to thrive in life.

But sometimes, sleep doesn’t come easily to us. We might toss and turn all night, but no matter what we do, we just can’t get comfortable enough to fall asleep like a baby.

If this scenario happens to you, then it means you have to do something about it. And one thing that might be able to help you is redecorating your whole bedroom.

How to Redecorate Your Bedroom and Make It More Sleep-Conducive?

Perhaps Consider Changing Your Mattress

Changing Mattress

If your sleep has been irregular lately, then maybe the problem is in your mattress. After all, the mattress is where you lie down to sleep, so it only makes sense that if its quality is horrible, the quality of your sleep is also affected.

For this reason, changing your mattress is probably a really good idea. When shopping for a new one, you should think about the way you sleep. What is your preferred sleeping position? Do you have back pain and the like? Once you’ve found the answers to these questions, you should look for a mattress that fits your needs.

For example, let’s say that you like to sleep on your side. If this is the case, then you should search for a good-quality mattress specifically designed for side sleepers.

Or, if you experience horrible chronic back pain, you might want to invest in a memory foam mattress. This type of mattress is noted for its high price, but it’s also well-known for relieving pain. So, buying a memory foam mattress is highly likely a wise investment on your part.

Long story short, changing your mattress will probably help you with your sleeping problems a lot. As such, you might want to start looking at catalogs for new ones.

Invest in High-Quality Bedding Materials As Well

High Quality Bedding Materials

Aside from your mattress, bedding materials also play an essential role in improving the quality of your sleep. You see, the ideal temperature that is said to induce the best sleep is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit, so you need bed sheets and blankets that can keep you cool as you sleep.

As a result, you should start looking for bedding materials that feel soft and comfortable for you. There are so many kinds of bed sheets, comforters, and blankets out there, so you should begin your research as soon as possible.

Cut Down Unwanted Lights

An effective way to fall asleep fast is to keep your bedroom dark. In order to achieve this, you have to look for ways to cut down the amount of light that comes into your bedroom.

One thing you can do is get lightweight curtains for your windows. This is because lightweight curtains are thick enough to block out bright lights at night but thin enough to let in light during the day. As such, you won’t have to change your curtains every time. Check out different ways to hang sheer curtains.

As for your bedroom’s lighting, you have to install lamps and other lighting fixtures that have lower wattages. Lighting fixtures with lower wattages are ideal for keeping a relaxed mood, which is why they are great for your bedroom.

Choose Calming Colors for Your Bedroom

Choose Calming Colors for Your Bedroom

Your bedroom’s color scheme may not be something you want to think about too much, but in reality, it’s actually pretty helpful. This is because a bedroom’s color scheme can set the mood for your bedroom, so if you choose specific colors, you will feel instantly relaxed and ready to rest.

People have varying criteria when it comes to “soothing” colors, so find the colors that bring you the most comfort. Whether you like pastel colors or cool shades, or bright hues, setting a color scheme for your bedroom is something you should keep in mind when redecorating your room.

Incorporate Calming Scents

Incorporate Calming Scents

In addition to how your bedroom looks, the way it smells also has an effect on your sleep. If your bedroom reeks of a horrible stench, you won’t be able to convince your brain to just fall asleep — instead, you’ll get distracted and keep yourself up all night.

Because of this, you would want to make sure that your bedroom smells nice all the time — especially when you’re about to go to bed. The best way to achieve this is to bring in calming scents through candles or scented oils.

Some of the most popular and fragrant scents include chamomile, lavender, cedar, ylang-ylang, and jasmine. Find the one that you like, and incorporate it into your bedroom.

Clean Up the Unnecessary Clutter

Studies have shown that clutter and organization actually have a role to play in one’s mood. To be more specific, when someone stays in a clutter-filled space, they are more likely going to feel anxious and distressed. But if they were in a room with clean floors and organized things, they would feel at peace.

With that in mind, you better make sure that your bedroom is free of mess and clutter. Your clothes shouldn’t be littered on the floor, and your books shouldn’t be scattered everywhere in your room. Instead, make sure to fold your clothes and place them neatly in your closet, and organize your books on a shelf.

Essentially, your bedroom needs to be clean and organized at all times. That way, your brain will relax at the sight of your bedroom, and you will not have a hard time falling asleep.

Conclusion

All of us need sleep if we want to go through our days successfully. Without sleep, we literally will not be able to function since our brains and bodies will be too burned out and exhausted.

However, even though we all know just how vital sleep is to us, we have trouble with it sometimes. There is a long list of reasons for this: maybe we drank coffee right before bed, or we got so distracted with our phones that we forgot it was time to sleep now. But it’s also possible that the reason you can’t sleep is that your bedroom isn’t comfortable enough.

Because of this, you might want to redecorate your room so that it will be more conducive to sleep. So, follow the suggestions mentioned above, and you’ll start reaping the benefits in no time.
