You won’t lose sleep with a fresh bedroom makeover. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sleep. It\u2019s a coveted resource and many of us don\u2019t get enough of it.According to the CDC<\/a>, more than 70 million Americans suffer from regular and persistent sleep problems. Poor sleep can cause a range of health issues such as increased susceptibility to injury, mental health conditions, and threats to the immune system. If you have trouble sleeping, a bedroom makeover may be just what the doctor ordered. Sleep insufficiency is real but it\u2019s not invited into your inner sanctum. Show sleep troubles who\u2019s boss by taking a critical look at your bedroom and adopting these modern bedroom ideas for better sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Bedroom Ideas for a Good Night\u2019s Sleep Step 1: Declutter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Observe\nyour space.<\/strong> If your bedroom feels <\/a>busy, full, and chaotic<\/a>, it\ncan interfere with your sleep. Step into your bedroom, pause and look around.\nAre you sharing your bed with loads of unfolded laundry? Is there a pile of\nwork files, books and other materials shaming you from your bedside table? Has\nyour room become the dumping ground for your family\u2019s castoffs? There\u2019s no\nshame in any of these games. Life is busy and our bedrooms \u00ad\u2013 places we\nconsider private and \u201caway\u201d\u2013 take the brunt of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next consider how all of these things make you feel<\/em>. If you\u2019re like most people, the answer is probably \u201cnot peaceful.\u201d But that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s time for a full bedroom remodel. It might just mean it\u2019s time to get the clutter out and reclaim your space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create some boundaries.<\/strong> Your room is no longer the place for things like work, laundry and storage. It\u2019s where you sleep, rest, and unwind. That\u2019s it. Laundry be gone! Find another place for all of the things you do not associate with sleep and relaxation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put it somewhere else<\/strong>. Yes, I know. This may create a waterfall of reshuffling and decluttering throughout your home<\/a>, but trust me, it is worth it. Consider a storage unit<\/a> for those things currently kept in your bedroom that your family doesn\u2019t use regularly. Freecycle the pile of old clothes no one wears anymore that is currently leering at you from the corner of your room. The key to the world\u2019s most simple bedroom makeover? Get the stuff out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hide it with style<\/strong>. So you have a smallish space and need to use your bedroom for some of your stuff. If you can\u2019t put it somewhere else, at least embrace the mantra of small room d\u00e9cor ideas and hide it with style<\/a>. It\u2019s easy to create your ownstylish storage solutions<\/a>. Out of sight is indeed out of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Bedroom Ideas for a Good Night\u2019s Sleep Step 2: Deep Clean<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ahhh, your space is cleared out and organized.\nYou can breathe! Except not too deeply because boy is this place dusty! Because\nour bedrooms are tucked away and often are spaces meant just for us, we don\u2019t\ntend to give them the <\/a>deep cleans<\/a> they deserve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your bedroom tidy and clean is key to\nhealthy sleep. For one, it helps reduce allergens and allows us to breathe\nbetter, reducing wakeups and promoting longer, deeper sleep cycles. Second, a\nclean bedroom is tied to better mental health. Waking up in clean surroundings\noffers a positive start to a new day, decreases stress, and facilitates better\noverall mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wash\nall the linens.<\/strong> The <\/a>Sleep Sound Foundation<\/a>\nrecommends bedsheets be washed once per week, and sometimes more frequently for\npeople who have pets or who have allergies. Wash your duvet covers every few\nweeks to a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dust\neverywhere.<\/strong> Especially any ceiling fans and light\nfixtures above your bed. Dust can irritate allergies, exacerbate asthma, and\ngenerally cause disruptions to our health. Give your window treatments a gentle\ndusting, too. Use a feather duster for blinds or a vacuum \u2013 on a low\nsetting \u2013 to dust drapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wipe\nit down.<\/strong> Get those baseboards. The bedside tables. The\nlegs of chairs. Do not forget the headboard. Add a bit of lavender oil to your\nbucket of suds to contribute to the resting, peaceful vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remake\nthe bed.<\/strong> It\u2019s the last thing you want to do just\nbefore bedtime, so be sure to remake your bed after washing all of your linens.\nYou can also save time by keeping an extra set of sheets ready to go while the\nother set is being washed. Nothing feels better than crawling into a bed with\nfreshly laundered sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Bedroom Ideas for a Good Night\u2019s Sleep Step 3: D\u00e9cor and Comfort<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve put in the hard work to keep your\nbedroom organized, clean, and already much better suited to relaxing. Now for\nthe fun part: a bedroom\nmakeover! Ok, ok, you don\u2019t have to go that far (but really, no one\u2019s\nstopping you). Instead, here are some fun, simple bedroom remodel ideas to make your space feel\nappealing and comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat\nthose windows.<\/strong> Light management is key to a happy, healthy\nbedroom and a good night\u2019s sleep. Use blackout curtains to align the external\nlight conditions with your sleep patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bed\nlinen update.<\/strong> Sure, they are clean, but do your bed sheets\nfeel luxurious? If they don\u2019t promote relaxation and comfort, it might be time\nfor an update. Consider flannel sheets in the winter and organic cotton or\nbamboo in the summer. Both help control temperature and keep you feeling cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soothe with color.<\/strong> The most calming colors are blues, greens, pinks, and a range of beiges. Look for slightly muted rather than energizing colors. Once you pick a color you find soothing, use it to inspire your bedroom makeover. Go big and paint the walls or simply add accents. Throw pillows, area rugs, and art are great room decor ideas for making your bedroom feel like a relaxing oasis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Lighting can make or break the energy in your bedroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\nthere be (soft) light.<\/strong> Overhead fixtures can be a bit much. Add\nbedside lamps to your bedroom to give it a softer, more intimate and relaxing\nglow. If overhead lights are your only option, consider installing a dimmer.\nLighting options are key to meeting all your bedroom needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Bedroom Ideas for a Good Night\u2019s Sleep Step 4: Ambience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ambience goes beyond d\u00e9cor; it\u2019s the\natmosphere or character of a place and it\u2019s just what bedrooms need to promote\nbetter sleep. The following elements provide ample inspiration and a few simple bedroom ideas to\nmake sleep a familiar friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature.<\/strong> Not too hot, not too cold. Room temperature is the Goldilocks of\nsleep. And for good reason, a poll conducted by the <\/a>National Sleep Foundation<\/a> found\ntemperature to be the number one factor in a good night\u2019s sleep. The ideal\ntemperature range for adults during sleep is between 60-67 degrees. So adjust\nyour thermostats and enjoy the zzzzs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound.<\/strong> External noise is the primary cause of frequent waking in the night.\nReducing noise interruption, either in frequency or volume, is essential to a\nsolid rest. As you think about bedroom remodel ideas or ways to tweak your sleeping space,\nincorporate a white noise machine to block out noise or play comforting music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smell.<\/strong> It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think about slumber, but smell is also important. While smell won\u2019t necessarily cause you to wake, the right scents can promote relaxation and sleep. A few drops of lavender essential oil below your nose, on your pillow, or in a diffuser, can help you feel calm and facilitate better sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel.<\/strong> Invest in luxurious bedding. Whether it\u2019s a satin pillowcase or a faux fur throw blanket, bedding that feel sumptuous and soft not only helps you relax but feels like an extra special indulgence. Weighted blankets can counter anxiety and add an extra component of comfort to your bedroom ambience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environment is key to a peaceful rest. If your\nbedroom is keeping you from dream town, these modern bedroom ideas can help you get the sleep\nyou need. Lights out, everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
