How to achieve a relaxing bedroom with an emphasis on wellbeing Our bedrooms are a place of comfort to us, a space where we can truly be ourselves and be at peace. It is a space and place that symbolises us and is the one room that is entirely ours. It is a room that we seek when we want to relax, a space that is made for unwinding from the stresses of the day, clear the mind and escape life for just a moment. It is the one place that we can reconnect with ourselves, rejuvenate, contemplate and reflect on our place in the world. It’s where we sleep, converse, love, dream, and a place where we are sometimes the most vulnerable.

Bedroom Design tips It comes as no surprise that many of us devote a lot of time and energy into creating the perfect bedroom sanctuary. When designed right, our bedrooms can be transformed into a sacred place of tranquillity, a place where you can press “reset� on your life and relax, restore, renew and revitalise. A better designed bedroom can make a huge difference to how we sleep and therefore, how we feel. However, bedrooms can provide a challenge for designers when dealing with issues such as minimal square footage, functionality and storage constraints. The bedroom is the only part of a house which is designated for complete rest, and because of that, it is often the most cherished and private space within the home. READ MORE

Layout Bedroom Storage Your bedroom should be a calm and quiet environment that you love spending time in. Appropriate storage, clear spaces and tidiness can encourage a sense of peace and relaxation. If you can, create clear areas for different purposes and have clearly defined areas. Streamline your morning routine and give the room a sense of purpose and cohesion.

People are feeling the need to simplify their busy lives, and this will be reflected in interior design: • Aim to create an effortless retreat that brings a sense of calm and restfulness, with an approach that focuses on decluttering and an emphasis on the things we love. • Keep lines of sight as open as possible and add a wide-open feel to the layout while increasing the amount of natural light in the room. • Carefully consider the space used and best placement for furniture

and objects. Create a focal point using natural shapes and elements. Seek to reduce the stress of a cluttered space. Keep the bedroom simple. The best way to keep it under control is only to have the things you need in there.

Beds Mattresses Consider your bed as an investment. You owe it to yourself (and your back) to invest in a quality mattress. Some people are born with the gift of being able to sleep through traffic noise, thunderstorms, warm temperatures and light-filled rooms. Most of us, however, are not such natural sleepers and the sleep we do need must be quality sleep. A good night’s sleep can boost our concentration, productivity and can help prevent the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Good sleep has the power to work wonders on our wellbeing. Poor sleeping habits can negatively affect our immune system, emotions and social interactions. Lampshade: Buttercup Crocus Base Size: 10 inches Wood Type: Spotted Gum

We spend a third of our lives asleep, so choosing the right mattress is much more than a place to rest your head at night; it’s core to our physical and mental wellbeing. The most essential part of your bedroom is the bed. Since the bed is the place where all the relaxation and recharging happens, it needs to support us and comfort us in equal measure. Of course, this means different things for different people, since some prefer softer mattresses, while others prefer firmer ones.
