How to make your room zen

When it comes to how to make your bedroom more peaceful, there’s an endless array of tips and tricks to try.

1. De-clutter

A tidy house can encourage a clear mind. It will come as no surprise that de-cluttering is the first step to making your bedroom zen. Having everything put away, with no clothes, cosmetics or other items strewn across your surfaces or floor, will immediately make the space feel more relaxing. Good storage is the key to this.

2. Consider your colours

Specific colour schemes are more peaceful than others. For example, bright shades like sunshine yellow or apple red might seem cheerful at first, but they’re not going to do much to keep your mind restful and calm.

Instead, try to adopt warmer neutral tones in your walls, furnishings and interiors. They’ll help create a feeling of serenity in your bedroom and provide less distraction when you’re trying to drop off to sleep.

3. Let in the light

A dull, dingy room is never an inviting place to be. Instead, ensure your bedroom gets plenty of natural light through windows and skylight if you have the option. You can also create the illusion of brightness with soft lighting solutions, from eye-catching pendant lights to bedside lamps featuring warm bulbs.

Zen bedroom inspiration

Once you’ve cleared away the clutter, solved your storage and adopted a neutral colour scheme, you’ll be well on your way to creating a blissful bedroom.

• Maximise your space – a room jam-packed with furnishings is bound to feel a little claustrophobic after a while. Space out your furniture where possible and remove anything that’s not necessary
• Bring nature inside – is there anything more soothing than the natural world? Bringing the outside in with some earthy paint tones or a few lush houseplants
• Keep your bed centred – ensuring your bed is positioned centrally in your bedroom, with a gap on either side of it, will help balance out the space
• Choose the perfect headboard – headboards are not only for supporting your back when you’re sitting up in bed, but they’re also an important design feature. A plush fabric option will give your bedroom a luxurious feel. At the same time, a pared-back wooden style plays into bringing the outside in
