Bedroom design ideas to improve your mental well-being

This is a collaborative post

There is no space in the home more important than the bedroom. It is amazing the impact that the bedroom can have on our mental well-being, so it is always worth considering ways that you can create a relaxing space that will bring peace and quiet to a busy life and help ensure a good night’s rest. Keep reading for a few bedroom design ideas to improve your well-being. 

Declutter & Increase the Space

We are all guilty of neglecting our bedroom from time to time. This means that clutter can very quickly build up, creating a stressful environment that affects how you feel and how you sleep. Therefore, one of the best ways to create a space to improve your well-being is to declutter and stick to the basics. This could involve getting rid of a bulky wardrobe and opting for a fitted wardrobe, which works well even for sloped ceilings. 

Opt for Natural Products

You might be surprised at the impact natural products and materials have on your well-being. Instead of the toxicity from chemical-based products, opt for natural alternatives for your furnishings. This could include using organic bed linens and real wood furniture - this also allows you to benefit from biophilic design, which is the concept that natural elements can improve mental well-being.

Purify the Air

Dust will always be present no matter how much you clean. This is why an air purifier is a great investment, as it will remove the dust on your behalf, helping to create clean, allergy-free air - just make sure that it adheres to HEPA guidelines. You can also add some air purifying plants, such as peace lily or dracaena (as above, this can help improve your mental wellbeing while adding some colour and life to the space).

Improve Lighting

Lighting is another key consideration for the bedroom. Natural light will help create a bright, airy feel during the daytime that can improve your mental well-being. You can maximise natural light with light colours on the walls, white bedding, and hanging mirrors around the room. You will also need to consider artificial lighting, and a combination of lamps and ceiling lights can work well. 

These are a few of the most effective ways to improve your bedroom space to create a healthy space that will improve your mental well-being. The bedroom is an incredibly important room that can affect your mental health and mood, so it is always somewhere that should be carefully designed, with choices made to sup-port well-being.
