The Importance of Bedroom Decor

Even though it is the room we spend most of our time in, the bedroom is usually the last place we decorate.

And yet we look to our bedroom as a haven for relaxation, for calm and for sensual energy, but are we actually taking steps to insure that?

Providing the right kind of atmosphere for relaxation in your bedroom can be achieved through a few simple decorating changes, like color and lighting and how furniture is positioned throughout your space.

Many of these principles follow feng shui, a centuries-old philosophy that incorporates harmony and peace into a living space to control the flow of energy that surrounds you.

Think of your bedroom as a blank canvas, and start with the walls. These background colors are very important in controlling your emotions and mood, and calm earth tones are highly recommended. Tans, browns, rust, and hues of off-white can accomplish this nicely. Light shades of blues and greens are also cool and relaxing.

Your bed should be accessible from either side, experts say, to reduce stress. Also, end tables need to be on each side of the bed to keep balance. Never allow your bed to sit on the floor, or directly under a window. Also, do not place your bed directly in view of the doorway. Angle it instead so that you can see the door.

Get rid of televisions, computers and exercise equipment! Your bedroom is for relaxing. These things unconsciously raise your stress level. Also, avoid clutter, since it traps positive energy from flowing.

Lighting is perhaps one of the most critical components here. Your bedroom should have a dimmer, and when at all possible use candles to light the room, as long as they are toxin-free. Sacred Glo’s lotion candles offer a wonderful opportunity to provide relaxed toxin-free lighting and poetic aromatherapy into your bedroom haven.
