Having a hard time getting to sleep? Your d\u00e9cor sense (or lack of it) could be the culprit! Here are 3 steps to creating the perfect sleep-time oasis:<\/em><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>As interior designers, we see this pattern frequently: people work tirelessly decorating the most commonly visited areas in their homes, i.e. the living room, kitchen, dining room and den, but leave the bedroom untouched. (After all, it\u2019s much easier to close the door and walk away when company visits.)<\/p>\n

But what about when you crawl into bed at night? How does your bedroom make you feel?<\/p>\n

Beautiful d\u00e9cor isn\u2019t always about pleasing other people; it should also make you feel good\u2014especially in the bedroom where the d\u00e9cor can directly affect your sleep routine!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to get some zzz\u2019s, it could be time to change up your bed-time habits, including your bedroom d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 steps to get started:<\/p>\n

Sleep-!nspired Bedroom Tip #1: Go Blue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Did you know the easiest way to !nspire a good night\u2019s sleep is to paint your walls a shade of blue? It\u2019s true!<\/p>\n

According to a survey<\/a>, the color blue is linked to calm, soothing feelings and is thought to slow the heart rate and even reduce blood pressure! In fact, it found that people sleeping in rooms decorated in calm colors like blue received the best night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

This is great news, especially because painting a room is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to transform a space!<\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re looking for immediate results without the paint, you can simply change your bedding, swap your artwork or tie in blue accents to instantly !nspire the feeling of relaxation.<\/p>\n

In 2015, we\u2019ve become accustomed to lazing in bed with our iPads and smartphones either surfing the net, watching movies or catching up on work before sleep.<\/p>\n

However, the bright lights from these screens tell your biological clock that it\u2019s time to wake up, potentially interrupting your sleep cycle and ruining the quality<\/em> of your sleep.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having trouble getting to sleep, make it a rule to shut off the majority of your electronics at 8pm so you can start winding down at an appropriate time.<\/p>\n

Our advice? Skip the tablet and run yourself a hot bath instead. Light a lavender candle (also proven to increase relaxation) and bask in its calming scent as you delve into the depths of your favorite novel!<\/p>\n

If you love the dimming effects of candles, you might want to think about adding a dimmer to the main light source in your bedroom; it\u2019s an easy way to !nspire a relaxing atmosphere without breaking your budget\u2014Plus you can experiment with gorgeous light fixtures that add to your bedroom\u2019s aesthetic!<\/p>\n
