So many things about a healthy and happy life (e.g., sleep, sex, relaxation) revolve around the bedroom, therefore it should have a high priority when you are designing your living space. Implement the following suggestions for developing your bedroom as a sanctuary:1
- Turn your bedroom into a luxury hotel suite. Think of the feeling you get when you escape to a nice hotel on vacation. Capture that in your home every day.
- Invest in comfort.Buy comfortable, quality sheets, pillows, bedding, and mattress.
- Don’t skimp on window treatments. Blocking out light will help you sleep better.
- Remove the television. Bedrooms are havens for sleep, sex, and contemplation, not screen time. That also includes your phone or other electronics.
- Make the bed. Making the bed starts your day off with a small accomplishment, and you can end your day returning to a tidy, welcoming retreat.
