5 Elements To Create A Bedroom Sanctuary

Is it possible to give your bedroom a totally new look without changing the main furniture? Ofcourse!

Here’s what I did to create a serene, inspiring new look for my master bedroom sanctuary without breaking the bank.  Since I knew I wasn’t changing out my bed and dressers I concentrated on changing the soft goods that can have a big impact. furniture

Here Are The 5 Elements To Create A Bedroom Sanctuary:

1.  Begin With Color – I wanted a serene color palette that was timeless.   I chose a peaceful shade of gray that was warm and masculine.

I chose earth green as my accent color.  Did you know green supports balance, harmony and love?

2.  Choose A Great Mattress –  You deserve a good nights sleep so invest in a good mattress.  I had already upgraded my mattress to a memory foam one last summer because I have bad trouble. You can learn how to buy a new mattress here.

3.  Dress The Bed – I love to dress the bed in beauty and luxury.  My refresh centered on creating a new set of designer custom made pillows and a quilt that are color coordinated.  Also, I bought  a new set of luxury cotton sheets to sleep on.

Layer your pillows for a luxurious look.  If you can buy pillows with down inserts – they feel and look good.

4.  Update Your Lighting – Every bedroom needs to have good lighting which should include l for reading and other tasks as well as overhead lights.  I chose a new set of modern lamps for beside the bed to include in my refresh.  I love the way they look.

Lamps are a good thing to invest in because you’ll have them for years and use them almost everyday.  Buy a stylish one, it makes a difference.

5.  Create A Spot For Contemplation – Create a quiet corner in your bedroom other than your bed to sit and read, meditate or curl up and contemplate your thoughts if you have room.  I refurbished a lounge chair in my bedroom and it is serving me well as perfect place to relax.  You can see the chair transformation here.

Bonus Tip: Take time to organize and eliminate – Staying organized is a big challenge. Do yourself a favor by clearing out items you don’t use.  Also, I reorganized our nightstands by adding plastic bins inside the drawers.  This has made it so much easier to find items we use.  Organizations can improve  your function and reduce stress.

I love to mix a variety of patterns in a room to tell a color story.

The bedroom is the last place many people decorate, but I believe you owe it to yourself to have a nice place to sleep.  Whether you completely redecorate or a simple refresh.

If you’re like me you will spend a lot of time in your bedroom.  Why not make the investment to make it a peaceful space that inspires and delights you.  If you need help with your transformation contact me.
