Bedroom Hacks to Create a Healthy Designer Space

No matter what size your bedroom is, there will be times when it feels cluttered or outdated, and you may want to give it a complete rehaul. However, not only do you want your bedroom to look nice, but it also needs to be functional for its purpose. There are ways you can update your bedroom without having to renovate it entirely.

So, if you want a gorgeous, yet practical bedroom, keep reading and discover our hacks so you can create a healthy, designer space.  

Revamp Your Bed

Finding creative ways to make the most of a multi-use area and fill a small space means finding the best mattress for the job. So, it’s really important to consider what type of mattress would suit you and your bedroom the best. If you have a relatively small room, you might benefit from downsizing your bed.

Although you may wince at the idea, it can really open up the space you have in the rest of the room and allow you to create a sense of openness. If you’re happy with your current mattress, you could update your bed frame instead. Try opting for something higher up, or even try adding bed risers underneath the feet of it to really give it some height. Your bed is the main focal point of your room, and you’ll spend lots of time in it, so make sure it’s comfy!  

Get Organised

If you really want to create a healthy space, you need to get rid of any clutter. Making the room feel breathable will do wonders for your sleep quality, and your general wellbeing. You don’t have to throw everything away either. Invest in some innovative organising products like jars or trinket boxes. Things like this will keep your possessions safely tucked away and helps your room stay looking clean and fresh. 

Reposition Your Bed

Another bed hack is to move it to a different position. You want your room to flow nicely and not feel closed in, so this can be a good way to do it. Create a floorplan of your bedroom and see how you could rearrange your furniture. Moving your bed away from the door and popping it under your window can really help the space feel larger. Your bed is important in your room, but you don’t want it to take up the whole of it. You might need to try a few different positions out until you find the one that you like, but it’s definitely worth a go. 

Bring Nature Inside

Indoor plants may be the latest craze, but there’s actually a good reason to have them in the house. Different plants like the snake plant and aloe vera plant, produce oxygen at night instead of during the day. The increased oxygen in your room can really help improve your sleep quality and your general health too.

Plants may look pretty, but they have a lot of benefits to your health that you might be missing out on. Why not bring a little outside indoors and your room will be healthier than ever! 

Look Up Not Around

You want your room to feel open in all senses of the word, so don’t purely focus on opening it up on a lower level. You also want to think about making the ceilings feel higher to really make it seem light and airy.

Try incorporating furniture that will draw the eyes upwards as this creates an illusion of more space. You can also hang things on the walls that are taller like tapestries. Not only do they add some colour and texture to the room, but they easily make a small space instantly feel larger.  

Be Creative With Lighting

Lighting is an essential part of the bedroom that some people overlook. However, the wrong or right lighting can really make or break a room. Instead of relying on just one harsh bright light in the middle of the space, try dotting a few smaller lamps around so you can control the glow. You want your bedroom to be bright enough, but it needs to have a soft warmth about it so that you can create a relaxing vibe. 

Change Up Your Storage

Bedroom storage can be tricky to navigate and sometimes it might seem like the only options are chunky wardrobes that take up loads of room. However, you can now find innovative storage solutions that help modernise and clean up your room. Try opting for unique pieces like clothing rails instead.

They don’t take up half as much room and you get to display your fashionable style too. You could also go for hidden storage like under-bed drawers, so you can really create more space. Whatever storage solution you decide on, make sure that it’s not too large and will elevate your room, not close it off.  

Your bedroom should be the place where you can relax and sleep, so you need to look at all aspects of it when designing it. Don’t be afraid to experiment, but always keep practicality in the back of your mind too. Try making use of some of these hacks and you’ll soon see the amazing difference they can make to your bedroom.
