Let’s Talk Master Bedroom Decor …

Your master bedroom decor can promote good sleep

We’ve decorated my kids’ bedroom a couple of times over the years. My husband and I decided it was our turn. It was time for OUR master bedroom décor to take priority and get upgraded.

We enjoyed a date night through a local retailer shopped for new bedding. We came to a mutual decision on everything and went home happy with our purchases. We were both surprised as to the effect the new materials had on our sleep!

Since bedding and the bedroom environment can have a considerable impact on quality of sleep, it’s important to consider the following tips when evaluating your own master bedroom decor:

• Ideally, both bed partners will want to share input on fabric and thickness of the comforter, especially if “temperature” preferences are an issue.
• Newer high quality sheets can make a BIG difference in overall bed comfort. (We were shocked on this one).
  • Bamboo (http://www.bambooki.com/blog/bamboo-sheets-vs-cotton-sheets/)
  • High thread count cotton (http://www.hgtv.com/bedrooms/guide-to-buying-sheets/index.html)
  • Egyptian linen (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_Egyptian_cotton_sheets_and_regular_cotton_sheets)
• Lighting from artificial and natural sources can negatively impact your sleep. Keep this in mind when picking out new window treatments or adding electronics to the bedroom.
• For many, sleeping midst clutter or disorganization can affect sleep as well.  (Another reason to help our kids pick up their rooms. Back to us …)
• Mattress and pillow qualities – Need I say more on that?
• Certain smells like lavender can help promote relaxation. Consider room smell and linen sprays.

Master bedroom decor that’s set up for comfort and relaxation can only help to promote good sleep. Is it time for a master bedroom decor overhaul in your home?
