As we age, the bedroom should become a “safe space” more than ever.
That is, a place in our image, free from stress, where it is good to recharge and relax.
To make this space a cozy and calm place, it is better to arm yourself with the right accessories to keep the stress out. You don’t have to spend a fortune to make your bedroom a cozy little cocoon in your image.
Here are some tips to make your bedroom as relaxing as a hotel room.
1. Dim the light
Natural light should be the focal point of your bedroom. Otherwise, candles, bedside lamps, floor lamps are fine. When evening comes, never turn on the main light in your bedroom.
Here are some ideal lamps to set the mood in your room:

3. Avoid accumulating unnecessary items
Store essentials in your bedside drawers. Key word: The room is made for relaxation. Keep the objects and photos that make you feel good, the rest can go somewhere else!
4. Mix fabrics and textures
Don’t be afraid to introduce a rug, throw, pillows and more to make your room a real cocoon.
