A bedroom is a place where you go to switch off from the world, but many bedrooms are bursting with too much going on to allow the mind to settle. Making a few changes can greatly reduce visual and sensory stimuli to create a more restful retreat.
Choose a Low-Stimulation Colour Palette
If you can limit yourself to a low-stimulation colour palette for the bedroom, it can be surprisingly effective at creating a calm environment. Warm white, pale grey, a dusty blue or sage green are all colours that stop you looking around the room. Just make sure to avoid very contrasting or very patterned wallpapers as these will be perceived as stimulating.
Add Soft Furnishings That Absorb Sound
Hard surfaces reflect sound around a room and can keep you on edge. Thick wool rugs, lined curtains and upholstered panels to your bedside lights or on your headboard will help to absorb the sound within a room and create a more relaxing environment. Additional cushions and throws can also have a notable effect on the space.
Hide Everyday Mess with Built-In Storage
Incomplete tasks create stress and beds of clutter create distractions. Incorporating flush fronted fitted wardrobes or even built-up cabinets with push to open doors within your bedroom renovation creates the impression of a calm and organised bedroom.

Control Light and Noise at the Window
Blackout lining can be placed within existing curtains or applied to roller blinds fitted within a recess to keep bulk to a minimum. For road-facing rooms interlined curtains offer sound insulation as well as improved thermal performance.
Reduce Technology and Device Presence
The presence of screens, of cables and of lights left on to operate whilst you sleep, all impact upon your ability to get to sleep and to have quality sleep. How the environment of sleep impacts upon the quantity and quality of sleep is now known to be of great significance. The answer is to fit a single flush surface mounted USB socket, charge up there outside your bedroom and take the TV out of the room.
Every detail counts when it comes to making significant changes to your bedroom. Small changes to enhance your bedroom can make all the difference when creating a bedroom that feels different.
