The bedroom should be a retreat where you can rest your body and mind. Creating a soft, luxe, romantic look is one of those classics that is pleasing to the eye and never goes out of style. Here are a few pointers on how to achieve it;

Clear it out

Begin by removing anything from the room that does not relate to relaxation. If you regularly use your bedroom as a home office, consider moving the office space to another location like an unused corner of the dining room. If that’s not possible, consider using an attractive screen to hide the work area and make a clear division between it and the area reserved for relaxation. Also clean off nightstands and the floor around the bed of anything that does not contribute to relaxation

Tickle Your Toes

A soft, fluffy rug located bedside or at the foot of your chair makes feet feel pampered and can create a real feeling of luxury and comfort. Many throw rugs can be washed and dried without losing their soft-as-new feel.

Create a Comfy Seating Area

Lying in bed is nice, but there are lots of times when you prefer to relax without being lulled into sleep. Chairs draped with soft throws make ideal perches for reading, listening to music or meditating. Add a small side table to hold a book or cup of tea and a floor lamp for adequate lighting. Lighting has a great effect on the mood of your bedroom, so use low wattage bulbs and dimmers which are a must have an intimate ambiance.

Invest in Luxurious Linens

When you’re on a special vacation, one of the most decadent feelings is sinking into deep, soft bedding. You can get that same feeling at home for less than the cost of an overnight stay at a swanky- luxe hotel. Begin with high thread-count sheets and add lightweight but cozy blankets. Add some new bed pillows and throw pillows for extra comfort. If your mattress is uncomfortable add a new one is out of the question, invest instead in a mattress topper or the bed spread to get that luxury experience on the cheap.

Establish Rituals

Look for small treats that make you feel pampered: a cup of tea, soft music, a favourite book of poems or cozy pyjamas. Incorporate these rituals into your stress-relief routine to create a feeling of serenity for your body and your mind.

Don’t Neglect Your Nose

The scent of lavender has long been associated with relaxation. Invest in a lavender-scented linen spray, scent diffuser or candle. Not crazy about lavender? Chamomile, sandalwood or neroli are other good choices.

Lastly, According to research, keeping your décor simple reduces your stress levels. Consider this bed; wouldn’t you like to spend the rest of your life lying on it or doing BEDDITATING on it? (Similar to meditating)
