Feeling wound up these days? Know what helps? Coming home to a tranquil, tidy, and timeless bedroom retreat at the end of the day.
Create yours with these DIY ideas (that also moonlight as home staging tips):
Declutter. Put away piles of clothes, books, and bills (ahem!) littering your bedroom.
Make the bed (yep, every morning!) and make it beautiful with textured blankets and a few decorative pillows that you adore.
Improve the lighting. Add a table lamp to your dresser or swap out bulbs for a softer hue or wattage. What you want for lighting in the bedroom are options, options, options!
Freshen up the walls with a coat of paint. What colors evoke calm to you—soft blues, gorgeous grays, earthy greens? Hop on Pinterest for inspiration. Then, carve out a weekend and get it done!
Kick out the electronics. Nothing zaps a peaceful bedroom retreat liking a flashing television, messy cords, and blinding (or worse, blinking) lights. If you can stand it, clear out the gadgets and screens—for good.
Don’t wait for vacation to feel relaxed and well-rested! Get started on your own 5-star bedroom retreat today with these super simple and doable tips!
