6 Ways To Simplify Your Bedroom For More Relaxation & Better Sleep
1. Keep Your Phone Away From Your Nightstand
Along with a digital detox, there are benefits to not reaching for your phone first thing in the morning…
First off, our phones are a huge distraction, and when we choose to scroll on social media or check our email first thing, we’re opening the possibility of emotionally triggering content that can scatter our mood before the day has even begun.
A better way to handle this, is to use a separate alarm clock and place your phone in a different room or on your bureau away across from your bed.
This allows you to get your morning started in a peaceful, slow way that helps you ease into the day with a calmer mindset/outlook on the day.
2. Add Greenery
Adding natural plants and greenery into your bedroom is a fantastic way to add a calming effect to your bedroom.
Plants not only look great and are visually calming, but also give fresh oxygen and help you relax much faster, which can lower your stress levels, leading to better sleep.
3. Limit Your Surface Clutter
Surface clutter in your bedroom like papers, clothes, and other items bring unwelcomed stress that you just don’t need.
After a long day, the last thing you need when trying to rest is to be welcomed by a mess and clutter covering your bureaus/nightstands.
Here are some ways to keep your surfaces clutter-free:
- Put clothes/laundry away immediately and beware piles of clothes and blankets accumulating on chairs and bureaus.
- Designate nightstand items that remain out and all other items placed in drawers or storage.
- Ensure miscellaneous items like books, mail, paper/files, jewelry, et. all have a proper home in other rooms or in drawers/storage.

4. Try An Oil Diffuser
Using an oil diffuser may seem pointless, but adding relaxing aromas like lavender can help instantly bring more calmness to your bedroom and help you sleep.
5. Remove Your TV
Having a TV in your bedroom seems nice and convenient, but can cause serious issues with your sleep due to the blue light from your screen.
Plus the fact that your TV may keep you up later than you would normally stay up due to binge-watching shows or watching movies late at night.
6. Repaint Your Walls
Repainting your walls may seem subtle, but can actually help create a more calming environment.
Warm earth tones can help make your bedroom feel cozy and inviting.
