How to Make a Bedroom Retreat

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. However big or small it may be, a few simple changes can transform your bedroom from a sleeping room to a place where dreams are born and nurtured.

Instructions

• 1

  Paint. Changing the color of the walls in your bedroom can give it a completely new feeling. Try soft blues or greens to create a relaxing space where you can rest and renew your energy.

• 2

  Open the curtains. Allow natural light into your bedroom to create an inviting, natural space where your troubles just fade away.

• 3

  Invite nature in. Use wooden furniture, straw baskets and other accessories from nature to enhance the welcoming feel of your bedroom retreat.

• 4

  Increase the comfort level. Soft sheets, pretty pillows and a plump duvet will transform your bed into a haven where you can relax at the end of the day.

• 5

  Add small luxuries. Use a pretty bottle for your favorite perfume, add photos of your friends and family members and hang pictures you adore to create a just-for-you retreat.

• 6

  Keep it neat. Making your bed every morning and picking up your dirty clothes will help maintain your retreat. A mess will ruin the mood of your haven immediately.
