6 interior tips for your bedroom for a better night s sleep

Do you have trouble falling asleep at night? Perhaps these practical interior tips for your bedroom can help you leave for dreamland faster!

Do you sometimes have trouble falling asleep and have you tried all the home-garden-and-kitchen remedies? Maybe it's your bedroom. Because yes, the environment where you sleep can also influence how quickly and deeply you sleep. That's why we've made a list of handy do's for you to sleep proof possible.

1. Remove unnecessary items from your bedside table

Clutter contributes to stress. Good reason to declutter your bedside table; do you really need five books, two chargers and your breakfast plate when you go to sleep? Precisely. Therefore, empty your bedside table and use it only for the essentials, such as a glass of water and your favorite book. Yes, you read that right:no telephone (more on that later).

2. Make sure you have good curtains

When light penetrates into your bedroom, it can of course disrupt your sleep rhythm. Therefore, make sure you invest in good curtains. For example, opt for blackout curtains or go for a blackout roller blind with beautiful curtains. This way you can at least ensure that daylight does not wake you up too early in the morning.

3. Get your phone out of your bedroom

Let us guess:you charge your phone on your bedside table or next to your bed? Perhaps it is better to put it a little further away. Blue light screens can affect the quality of your sleep, even when you're not on your phone. For example, move it to another room (or to the other side of the room if you're using it as an alarm clock).

4. Choose the right paint color

Have you just redecorated your bedroom and are now having trouble falling asleep? That could just be because of that new color on your walls. Bright colors, such as red, purple and yellow, energize a room and so may not be the best colors to put on your bedroom wall. Which colors can help you relax? Choose pastels, such as faded blue and lilac, or earthy colors, such as moss green and rusty brown for a wonderfully serene bedroom.

5. Keep the desk out of the bedroom

You want to associate your bedroom – logically – with sleep. By placing your desk in your bedroom, there is a good chance that you will also associate your bedroom with work and stress. So it's a better idea to move your desk to another bedroom (or, if you don't have one, to the living room) to give yourself all the peace and quiet you need in your bedroom.

6. Put your bed in the right place

If you believe in feng shui, you are probably already familiar with this, but if not:there are some handy tips &tricks for the best place to put your bed for the best night's sleep. For example, choose to put your bed against a wall, as far away from the door as possible, but so that you can see the door from your bed. Often a spot diagonally from the door is best for your inner peace! Is your bed already in the right place?
