Select Calming Art
The art and color pallet of your room also plays a significant role in keeping the place warm and inviting. Colors like orange, red and deep yellow are high-energy. So, if you want to have a serene atmosphere in your room, avoid adding art or decorations of these colors.
Instead, colors like blue, green, or gray are calm. Adding paintings or wall arts that include these colors will help create a positive and relaxed aura in your room. Obviously, you can create a balance of color. Just make sure that the selected art pieces or decor items are as per your taste and preferences.
-
Add Plants
Adding plants in your room is one of the best things that you can do for yourself. Plants will make the place look peaceful and aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, they help reduce stress, improve productivity, filter air pollutants, and enhance your creativity.
Wait!
Are you scared that your laziness might lead to shrivel plants? If YES, then don’t worry!
There are several “easy to handle” plants available in the market. Generally, these include cacti, succulents, and air plants. These will add greenery to your room with minimal effort. Isn’t it great?
-
Create A Reading Nook
Is it even a cozy room if it doesn’t have a reading nook? NO! Therefore, you need to set up your cozy corner. How? Well, get the most comfortable chair or recliner in your room. Collect all the books that you own and arrange them near the chair. You can also throw in a few cushions and comforters to make the reading nook more inviting.
However, make sure there is proper lighting so that you don’t strain your eyes while reading. Also, use a bookshelf to arrange all the books. Otherwise, the room will look cluttered.
-
Keep The Technology Out
Living without your smartphone might seem impossible. However, it is essential for your health and comfort. Scrolling through social media all night long will affect your sleep and, eventually, your overall mood. In addition to that, intermittent hums and lights of electronics will also distract you.
But what if you are bored? Well, in that case, you can read books, water your plants or clean the room.
-
Use Essential Oils
Last but not least, you should use essential oils to keep a calming and serene atmosphere in the room. Lavender essential oil is proven to reduce stress, uplift mood, and also benefit your skin.
If you don’t like essential oils, you can try scented candles instead. When your room smells good, it will automatically calm you down. Moreover, essential oils and scented candles will surely fall under your budget.
Rules You Must Follow
Above written are some of the ways in which you can make your bedroom extra cozy. However, for these ideas to work, you need to follow two crucial rules:
- DO NOT Overstuff: Everything looks good within a limit. This means, if you add pillows, books, or paintings, do not go overboard with them. Instead, understand the floor space of your room, and work accordingly. Otherwise, the room will look disorganized and cluttered.
- Keep The Room Clean: Another important rule is to keep the house neat and tidy. Wash your bed sheets regularly, organize your books, let the natural light come in. These things might look like a lot of work, but these will surely help make your bedroom look beautiful.
To Sum It All Up!
These are some budget-friendly bedroom transformations that you can try to make your bedroom extra cozy and warm. Nonetheless, DO NOT forget the rules mentioned above.
