A quiet, serene space is what we all crave at the end of a long day…and no space in the home does that job better than the bedroom.
Our bedrooms are not only our private sanctuaries in which we relax and unwind, but they are also the place where we rest and rejuvenate our bodies and minds for the next day.
However, for bedrooms to achieve all this, the décor and design must be just right. To help create a peaceful bedroom space, here the Seeley team shares some top tips for peaceful nights and good mornings.
Stick to calm shapes
Neutral tones and soft colors remain the best choices for bedrooms to create a calm and serene space. While a tightly edited color palette may seem limited, there are plenty of other ways to inject visual interest. Think shapes and textures—lime paint, for example, is a great option for adding depth and dimension to walls.
Create cozy corners
A comfortable chair or armchair is a bedroom essential – it’s the perfect place to read or enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the evening or early morning.
Choose the correct mattress
The right mattress, which provides an adequate amount of support, is crucial to getting a good night’s rest.
Sealy has a large variety to choose from, including classic Posturepedic options as well as adjustable options with several levels of inclination, including anti-snore rise and steep rise for relaxation.
Play identical
By matching your furniture and flooring wherever possible, you can create a serene space where elements flow into one another and there are minimal differences to distract the eye.
Get just the right lighting
A bedroom requires layers of light—and light control—to be optimally functional: you’ll need natural light in the morning (and, of course, enough window coverings to keep the light out when you want to sleep), overhead ambient lighting, and task lighting for applying make-up or reading, for example. , as well as decorative lighting.
Think about the materials
Natural materials such as wood, wool, cotton and rattan are great choices for bedroom furniture and accessories – these eco-materials have an innate calming effect.
