We need a good sleep more than ever at the moment. Restoring our mind, body and soul is so important, and considering the amount of time you spend asleep, or trying to get to sleep, your bedroom should be the pinnacle of tranquility and peace, yet it’s often the place that is most neglected. Rest assured, I am here to help! I've gathered a few easy interior design tips to get your bedroom back to that calming zone that you need right now.
Use a Calming Color Palette
Science shows color has the ability to shift your energy. In the bedroom, it's important to select a softer palette of beiges, ivories, greys and tans. If you are looking for a warmer shade, I love a terracotta which tends to have a grounding and calming effect.

Step back, make a plan and see how you could change your color palette and what colors calm you, it is personal so go with what soothes your soul. If you are looking for some inspiration, Sherwin Williams came out with their 2021 forecast and I am swooning over these paint colors! The Sanctuary palette has amazing colors that make a great neutral color palette or even just a moody earthy bedroom color.

Adjust Your Lighting
Soft lighting is essential. Remove any harsh lighting from the bedroom and instead use bedside lamps or pendants. Install dimmers or replace all of your bulbs with the Bedtime Bulb. A light colored padded headboard that's extra wide, not only provides a backdrop for the bed, but also provides a defined place for the floating bedside tables to be attached, while hidden lighting creates a soft glow.

Incorporate Natural materials
A quick and easy way to bring some Zen is to update your bedding. Ditch the synthetic materials. Natural fibers like linen, cotton, offer that luxurious, lived-in feel and bring a sense of softness to any space — and they’re perfect for your bedding. Plus, studies show you’ll be lulled off to a better sleep. Very soft sheets and bedding are signals to your skin and muscles to relax.
