Bedrooms should be a little haven for you to relax in. Modern life is chaotic and you deserve a place to unwind that’s free from stress.
If you’re like me, you’ll want every room in your house to be stylish. I can’t relax in a cluttered room, but having a family tends to mean I can’t live without clutter. This is how I realised good storage is the key to keeping your home neat and looking on-trend. Lifewit offer amazing home storage solutions and will help you keep every room neat and relaxing – especially your bedroom.
Below are my top tips for creating a relaxing bedroom:
Invest in a blackout blind
While it’s winter, it’s difficult to imagine a warmer, brighter time. The truth is, spring is just around the corner and mornings will be getting lighter earlier. Those lighter mornings might be pleasant on the days you need to go into the office, but when they suddenly affect your weekend lie-in, they’re not quite so welcome.
Instead of losing your lie-in to bright light seeping in through the curtains, consider investing in a blackout blind too. Darkness is proven to offer a better quality of sleep, so even you go to bed when it’s dark and wake up with the sun, light pollution from town or city living can still disturb you.
Under bed storage is your best friend
Speaking as someone who craves a tidy room but also has lots of belongings, I can’t praise under bed storage enough. Lifewit’s Amazon store sells handy under bed storage solutions to help your pack more into your room but keep it out of sight. I like to use under bed shoe storage and under bed clothing storage to get the most out of the space. I try to keep on top of the season, so thick jumpers go under the bed in the summer, and sundresses live under the bed during the winter months.
Drawer organisers will simplify your life
I’ve become a little obsessed with home organisation shows lately. These shows have been really helpful for storage tips and have inspired me to keep an organised life. I had no idea drawer organisers existed for clothes, and ever since I found out, I’ve been really grateful of the knowledge. Underwear drawers organisers are my favourite. I love that my bras, pants and socks all have their own area.
Get the lighting right
The lighting in your bedroom can be difficult to pitch just right. Low light is preferred by most people, but too low, and you won’t be able to see in your drawers. Bright lighting also comes with its problems as it can be harsh on sleepy eyes. It can wake you up just as you’re going to bed, and be painfully bright when you’ve just woken up. T
he best way to get the best of both worlds it to have a medium wattage light bulb in the main light and add lamps around the room to provide another light source or two. A bedside lamp on either side of your bed is a good idea and an additional floor lamp in an opposite corner can be a great finishing touch in a big enough room.
