How To Make Your Bedroom a Luxurious Love Nest

One of the most intimate places in your home is definitely your bedroom, and in order to transform it into a truly cozy, yet elegant sanctuary you just need a little bit of imagination and creativity.  Your bedroom can be much more if only you take some time to change things a bit. You can easily create a luxurious retreat in your bedroom which will make you feel like you’re visiting a spa centre in the comfort of your home.

The right lighting

Your bedroom needs plenty of natural light, but it also needs some light fixtures too. A simple ceiling-mounted one will do, but it’s not exactly elegant or luxurious. Basic lighting sure gets the job done, but if you’re looking for something with a bit more class, you could install a small chandelier instead. Not only does it give off softer light, but it also looks sophisticated. Dimmers are also a good idea because they will allow you to set the mood and enjoy softer light before bed. A couple of bedside lamps are also a nice touch since they are convenient, and you can add a nice hanging pendant light too. Recessed lighting will not cast that sterile glow which fluorescent light fixtures do, but rather a soft, even glow which will turn the room into a soothing sanctuary.

Comfortable bed 

The bed should be a focal point in your room and you should pay attention to the details, for example, which direction you like sleeping in and waking up to, and turn your bed that way. Feeling well-rested on an uncomfortable bed is virtually impossible, and you could try investing a bit more money into it. A good ensemble bed with a quality supportive mattress will allow your body to fully relax and recover during the night. If you want a bit more pampering, why not try adding a mattress topper? You can choose memory foam toppers for that extra cushioning feeling or a feather one for additional softness. Add good-quality sheets made of soft sateen or real Egyptian cotton for additional luxury and there will be no difference between your bedroom and a luxury hotel room.

Soothing colors

Another great way to relax is to surround yourself with soothing colors like moss green or freshwater blue, as it will make you feel like you are closer to nature. The easiest way to redecorate a room is to paint the walls – it will make the space look fresh and it won’t cost you a fortune, and if you pick a soothing color palette you will get great results. Pale blue and soft yellow pair well with warm gray, but if you don’t want to spend a lot of time painting, you can try wallpapers instead. You can pick the ones with an interesting print of leaves or flowers so you can feel like you’ve stepped into a garden and not a bedroom.

Accessorize 

Another great way to add warmth and beauty to a room is to carefully choose accessories. This doesn’t mean that you have to cover every available space with candles, doilies, and cushions. Still, several well-selected and carefully placed accessories will make the room more inviting and elegant. Throw pillows are always a good idea, and you can even try finding richly embroidered pillowcases too. In addition, you can also try bringing in a nice vase with some fresh flowers as well a soft rug which you can place beside your bed so you can sink your feet into it first thing in the morning.

Heavenly smell

When you visit a spa you can’t help but notice there’s a pleasant fragrance in the air. A simple clean herbal, mild floral, or fresh citrus scent makes the space more welcoming and helps a person relax. You can recreate this feeling in your bedroom by bringing air fresheners or scented candles in and keeping them on your bedside table. You could also try filling a small pouch with dried lavender and placing it under your pillow – the scent will help you relax and fall asleep more easily. Reed oil diffusers, potpourri, linen sprays, as well as essential oil vaporizers are all alternative ways to make the air in your bedroom smell great, but try not to pick the scent that’s too strong or you’ll get a headache.

Your bedroom is like a sanctuary, a place where you should feel at ease, safe, and completely comfortable in order to relax enough to get a good night’s sleep. It only takes a bit more work on your part to feel pampered too, and you won’t need to visit a spa or a five-star hotel either. Don’t be afraid to change things up and pamper yourself with a touch of luxury in your bedroom.
