How to Rest Easy in a Small Bedroom

-How to Rest Easy in a Small Bedroom-

A comfortable and relaxing bedroom is essential for a good night’s rest and a happy home. Fortunately, Tampa Bay area homeowners can optimize a bedroom of any size for better sleep.  Whether you are an empty nester downsizing to a smaller space, or someone wanting a bedroom redesign due to the November time change – here are solutions for achieving better sleep in any bedroom.

Bedroom Design and Room Enhancements

As your Tampa Bay area real estate professionals, we can align you with interior design experts ready to help guide you through any bedroom design project.  There are many local interior designers specializing in turning small bedrooms into tranquil sanctuaries.  From arranging furniture, to unique color schemes – they know exactly how to make a space work for you.

For example, a designer may recommend for you to downsize to smaller furniture or fewer accent pieces to conserve space. Also, designers often refer to the rules of feng shui. This technique may include ways to achieve better balance in a small room.

In addition to bedroom layout, special enhancements could include new décor or bedding.  A more comfortable mattress, a better pillow for your sleeping position, cotton sheets with a higher thread-count, or moisture-wicking bedding could all be solutions for a better night’s rest.

5 Tips for a Fantastic Snooze in a Small Room

Additionally, there are several simple changes you can make to create a better sleeping environment in your current bedroom.  Here are 5 tips:

  1. Remove the Clutter: Clean and remove unnecessary items that can make a small space feel cramped. This will also create a more relaxed environment for sleep.
  2. Limit the Light: Invest in light-blocking blinds or dark curtains to block sunrays or outdoor lights keeping you awake. Also, be sure to dim or cover electronic light sources.
  3. Cool the Color: Cool gray, light blue, or beige colors can create a more tranquil vibe than vibrant colors like red or orange, which could ignite your energy.
  4. Quiet the Noise: Play light music or consider using a white-noise machine to block out any annoying sounds in your home or exterior noises outside your home.
  5. Create a Calm Vibe: Set a sleep schedule or ritual for consistency in your sleep cycle. Nightly activities like meditation, reading, or a warm bath may also help you relax.
