How To Create A Peaceful Bedroom Retreat

By Deborah Bennett May 4, 2009 8:45 am

 

Sleep is so much better in the spring, it’s not too hot and not too cold.  Your bedroom can be more than just a room with a bed. A good bedroom can become your sanctuary, a place where you retreat from the hectic pace of life and relax.

Here are some tips on how to create a peaceful retreat in your bedroom:

1) Soft blues and greens are considered cool and calming colors and are often used by hotels and spas to get you to kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

How to buy sheets and pillows.

2) Another color trick to create a peaceful bedroom is to paint your walls, trim, and ceiling all the same color, or paint them in colors close in shade. This technique keeps the color simple and understated, so you can concentrate on you – not your walls.

3) Open your shades and blinds and let in some natural light. Keep your artificial lighting soft and unobtrusive.

Redecorate your bedroom on a budget.
