While it might not seem important, your bedroom setting is a key contributor to how well you sleep at night. Creating a room that is conducive for not only falling asleep but staying asleep can help to ensure you’re getting a decent amount of quality sleep.

In this guide, we’ll be giving you our top tips on how to style your bedroom for the best night’s sleep.

Improving the Visual Design of Your Bedroom for Better Sleep

What Colour Should Your Bedroom Be for Better Sleep?

The colours of your walls, furniture, floors and bedding can all contribute to how well you sleep. Blue is often named the best colour for sleep as it evokes a sense of calm, reminiscent of the sea and the sky. 

For people who prefer a minimalist look to help stay relaxed, whites and greys can make a room feel more clean and spacious for a clutter-free mind. Alternatively, beiges and creams can create a more warm and inviting feel, creating a cosy space to sleep.

Colour to avoid include red, which can raise your heart rate, and black which can cause feelings of confinement and restlessness

Reduce Clutter

As the saying goes, a tidy room helps for a tidy mind. Messy bedrooms can create feelings of anxiety, making it harder to relax when you want to fall asleep. While you don’t have to make sure your room is completely spotless, it’s always a good idea to do a quick declutter before bed.

Home Comforts

For good sleep, your bedroom needs to feel welcoming. It should be a place where you can unwind and feel at home. The best way to do this is to include personal touches that bring a sense of comfort, such as family photos, a cherished teddy bear or objects that are reminders of good memories.

Practical Elements to Promote Good Sleep

Reducing Light Exposure

Studies show that light is the most powerful cue for your circadian rhythm- which is the biological clock that regulates your sleep. When bedtime rolls around, it’s important to make your bedroom as dark as possible. While this is easier in winter, it can be especially difficult during the summer months, when days stay brighter for longer. 

One highly effective way to combat this is by investing in high quality window coverings, such as blinds or shutters. At Aspiration Blinds, we offer a wide range of different style shutters and blinds, so you can find the perfect choice for your bedroom.
