5 Curious Ideas To Have A More Welcoming And Healthy Bedroom

We could say, without fear of being wrong, that the bedroom is one of the places in the house where we spend the most hours each day. In addition, they are very important hours for well-being. These condition rest, intimacy and also the couple’s relationship.

For all these aspects to flow perfectly, we must take into account factors such as: lighting, colors, humidity, ventilation and aromas.

5 ideas to have a more cozy bedroom

In this article we give you the 5 keys so that your bedroom is a more welcoming place, so that it transmits well-being, helps you rest and wake up with energy and good humor.

1. Adequate lighting

Lighting is a fundamental issue to achieve a feeling of well-being.

• If we have a naturally lit bedroom, we will have much of the purpose already accomplished.
• Otherwise, we will look for warm light lamps, such as Himalayan salt, which provide orange lighting.
• We can also have large candles in different places in the room to light at special times.
• If the room is quite dark, we will give priority to white and light colors and, in addition, we will opt for a space that is as clear as possible.
• If, on the contrary, it is large and bright, we can play more with the decorative elements, the discreet lights and the darker colors so that it does not look like a cold room.

2. The right colors

When choosing the color to paint the bedroom walls, we must be aware that this will not only be an aesthetic factor, but will also influence our mood.

As it is a bedroom, we recommend taking into account the objective we want to achieve. We can paint a wall or a part; also,  give the desired touch of color with the decorative elements (cushions, sheets, pictures, etc.).

We recommend adding the following colors sparingly:

• Orange: we will choose this one if we want to bring warmth and joy, as well as enhance creativity.
• Green:  provides balance and serenity.
• Blue:  to combat stress. It’s very relaxing. Ideal against insomnia.
• Violet:  the color of spirituality.
• Red:  a very stimulating and aphrodisiac color, to use without overdoing it.

3. Order, cleanliness and ventilation

We will not make a place cozy and healthy if we do not care, first of all, to keep it orderly, clean and ventilated every day. If a bedroom is messy, it will be impossible for us to rest well in it.

• For cleaning we recommend using natural products with neutral odors.
• We can also use natural cleaners such as lemon or baking soda, which are equally effective and also have no side effects for health.
• We will ventilate the room every day and, if we wish, also at night.
• If we don’t have a good ventilation system we can install a ceiling fan.

You also have to take into account the humidity of the room. If it is excessive, it is advisable to get a dehumidifier. This will help us adjust the levels and prevent health disorders.

4. A minimalist bedroom is the key

The bedroom is the room of the house in which we must most try to be minimalist and avoid excess objects. It is preferable to have good storage systems, such as drawers under the bed, so as not to leave too many things in sight.

We should also avoid that the bedroom is a workplace, since many people opt for a desk to put the laptop. It is better to separate the bedroom from any other activity.

As a curiosity, we recommend orienting the head of the bed in a north direction, whenever possible, to improve night’s rest.

Also, it is preferable not to place mirrors that reflect the bed. These are guidelines from the science of Feng Shui that can be very beneficial.

5. A personalized scent

What does our bedroom smell like? Each home has its own aroma, which depends on the cleaning products we use, the furniture, etc.

However, in the bedroom it is very important to look for the smell that we like the most and that it brings us the most benefits. We can achieve this with scented candles or essential oils:

• If we want a more relaxing space: lavender, chamomile, jasmine.

• With stimulating and aphrodisiac properties, or to give warmth: cinnamon, vanilla, ginger.
• To give a feeling of cleanliness and freshness: lemon, mint.
• With the aim of improving the mood and giving joy: orange, tangerine, lemon, grapefruit.
• To create a romantic space: rose, jasmine, witch hazel.
• With antiseptic and antibacterial effects: tea tree, eucalyptus, lemon, lavender.

These are very simple tips that we can follow to improve our night’s rest. Put them into practice and you will notice that the results are very beneficial.
