Bring Nature Indoors – Cleverly!
The time we can spend outdoors and relax in nature never seems to be enough. However, over the past few months, due to the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns, it has been extremely challenging to spend even a few moments of the summer months outdoors. And now that winter is approaching, the opportunities for it are becoming even fewer!
However, luckily, there is something you can do to bring nature indoors. Start by decorating your bedroom with houseplants! This is a sustainable way to improve your room's look without having to give in and buy fast-fashion or low-quality furniture items to complete the design. The side benefits of this choice include the fact that plants purify the air, improve your mood, and regulate the level of indoor humidity!
Make Time to Rest
Rest is often seen as a negative thing and that we should all be in super productivity mode. However, it’s a fact that taking time to recuperate gives us the energy for a better quality of work, lifestyle and improves your immune system.
Having a break is really beneficial. Try one of these Stone TV Beds, where you can indulge in some self care and catch up with your latest show whilst boosting your energy levels.
Change Up Your Curtains and Let the Sun In
Unlight plays an essential role in restoring our natural sleep pattern, and it can help us feel happier, more energized, and relaxed. However, today, we all tend to shut sunlight out through heavy curtains and drapes. While this can save you from the annoyance of being woken up by the sun, it can significantly affect our sleep quality!
So, changing your heavy curtains for light, sheer materials can help you maintain your room illuminated throughout the day - and maybe will encourage you to wake up with the sun!
Another option worth considering is Venetian blinds, which are a signature characteristic of houses in Mediterranean countries such as Italy. Aside from being romantic and timeless, they are also extremely efficient in regulating the amount of light that comes through your room!
Opt for More Efficient Lighting
Switching to more efficient lighting can be an excellent way to make your room more eco-friendly. But such implementations can also help you save on your monthly electricity bills! Picking energy-efficient light bulbs and systems might seem to be a more expensive choice at first, but they are likely to last you for longer.
Additionally, due to the unique system of lighting any bedroom requires, this lighting type is ideal for adding light points around the room without running the risk of spending too much on energy bills. So you can add all the task lights you need without having to worry!
Bring Recycled Items Back to Life
Tables, wardrobes, cabinets, and other details make up for a significant part of the room's design. And, they can also represent the aspect on which you will end up spending the most! However, you can complete your room's look without having to spend much by leveraging the beauty and unique charm of recycled items! You can find these unique pieces of furniture in antique shops or even at your local flea market.
And, if they are a little damaged, they will give you the chance to test your DIY skills and add a personal touch!
Invest in Long-Lasting Furniture and Designs
For your bedroom set, you might decide to use new furniture that can enhance the bedroom's look for years to come. If so, the best option is to invest in high-quality, timeless pieces that will live in your bedroom for a long time!
