1. Create a Soothing Color Scheme

Perhaps the most significant way to make your bedroom more relaxing is by painting it a soothing color. Various shades of blue, gray and soft colors like blush and lavender can instantly make a space feel more tranquil.

You may decide to paint your entire bedroom one of these colors or stick to neutral walls and a colored bedspread. Either way will work to create a relaxing space that promotes healthy sleep.

2. Deep Clean

The most calming spaces in a home are ones that are clean. Dirt and clutter undoubtedly add to your stress as you’re busy thinking about when you can fit tidying up into your busy schedule.

Creating a relaxing oasis of a bedroom starts with deep cleaning it. Deep cleaning it once every few months will make it much easier to maintain. After you thoroughly clean it by dusting, mopping, scrubbing the baseboards and washing the windows, you’ll only need to tidy up if things get cluttered once in a while. And no mess means you’ll be able to fall asleep stress-free every night.

3. Paint Your Walls a Dark Color

Dark walls are sophisticated and, with the right color scheme, soothing to look at. Dark bedrooms actually make for better sleep. Consider painting your walls with a rich blue like this stunning bedroom designed by Aloe Design Studio. Other relaxing dark color options include deep red, forest green and charcoal gray.

A darker color scheme can trigger a calming sensation that encourages deep sleep while creating a dreamy atmosphere. If dark walls intimidate you, opt for a darker bedspread or lampshade instead.

4. Add a Cozy Rug

A Beautiful Mess

If you have laminate or hardwood floors, adding a cozy rug under or near your bed will have a big impact. After all, no one likes to hop out of bed only to step onto a frigid floor first thing in the morning.

High pile rugs with longer fibers, like shag rugs, are especially great for adding warmth to your bedroom. But even shorter pile rugs will make your space feel more comfortable.

5. Drape Blankets

You can instill a sense of relaxation in any space by piling extra blankets everywhere, especially high-quality, plushy and soft ones. Pile them onto your bed and other bedroom furniture for easy access. Not only will having extra blankets on hand encourage you to grab one and curl up in bed, but the blankets’ soft lines will make your space feel much warmer and inviting.

Texture makes for a visually interesting space. For a relaxing bedroom, incorporate soft textures to give your space a soothing feel.

Layering soft textures can create a softer, calmer look while tying in furniture to create a focal point in the room. Transform the wall behind your bed into a textured dream, like Perla Lichi Design did in this modern bedroom.

7. Pile on the Pillows

Most people aren’t jumping for joy to lay on a bed with only one pillow. A bed full of pillows, on the other hand, is very inviting. Pillows have soft lines that make any bed look ultra-comfortable.

If you’re looking to make your bedroom a relaxing space, focus on your bed. Add a plush bedspread with plenty of matching pillows and you won’t be able to resist falling into it each night.

8. Play With Pattern

While sticking to a soothing color scheme, don’t be afraid to play with patterns to transform your bedroom into your own personal oasis. Avoid incorporating too many noisy patterns, like polka dots and zig zags, to ensure that your mind and body won’t feel particularly energized when you gaze around the room.

Muted pillowcases and flowy curtains like the ones in this room designed by Cortney Bishop Design work well together. Although there are a mixture of patterns, the space doesn’t feel busy or loud. If a simple neutral bedroom isn’t your style, but you still want a relaxing space, add the occasional pattern.

9. Keep Your Bedtime Routine Close

Bedtime rituals encourage you to disconnect and prepare to get a good night’s sleep. They put your mind at ease and foster relaxation. Whether your routine involves reading a chapter of a good book, applying a soothing face mask or meditating by candlelight, it’s an essential part of ensuring quality rest.

Place items that are part of your favorite nighttime rituals on your nightstand. That way, your nightstand will become one of your favorite spots and you’ll never accidentally skip your routine before bed. Use this inviting nightstand from The Teak as your inspiration.

10. Keep Decor Minimal and Functional

Clutter can make your bedroom room feel cramped, which will make it all the more difficult for you to unwind at the end of the day. Maintaining a neat and tidy space will help ease your mind and reduce stress since you won’t have to worry about finding time to clean up.

In the same vein, excess decor can create noise. For a calming and relaxing bedroom, keep your decor limited and only make room for the pieces you love. In our opinion, functional decor is the way to go. This DIY blanket ladder from Fall For DIY is an example of a minimal and functional decor piece.
