Have you ever wanted to escape to a sanctuary in your own home? Between the kids, the pets, the chores, and more, sometimes finding a moment of peace seems like a sweet dream. And considering the amount of time we spend trying to get to sleep (and actual sleep), it feels like the bedroom is the perfect place to find tranquility in your own home.

Let’s make 2019 the year of making your dreams come true – one room at a time. Let’s turn your bedroom into the sanctuary you’ve always wanted. It just takes a few simple steps.

1)   Treat yourself to new bed linen.  It might be time to retire the old duvet cover that’s coming apart at the seams. Look for soothing earthy colors and soft prints. Stay away from bright colors and prints that could leave you too stimulated to sleep.

2)   Hide your electronics and wires. One great investment would be to try an end-of-the-bed TVLiftCabinet. The beautiful cabinets not only provide safe, secure locations for your electronics and gadgets, everything disappears at the touch of a button when it’s time for soft slumber. And because it’s finished on all sides, you can place it anywhere in the room. There are many great cabinets to find the style that perfectly matches your bedroom oasis.

3)   It might be time for a new mattress. If you’re having troubling finding just the right spot to sleep, it could be your mattress may be the culprit. Most experts say it’s time to get a new mattress after 10 years or so. There are so many different styles that provide comfort and support.

4)   Adjust your lighting. Bright lights aren’t conducive to a good night’s sleep. Consider lower wattage bulbs and well-placed lamps to give you the ambience you’re seeking. Also consider adding curtains or shades to keep out the bright sunlight when it’s time to go to sleep.

These are just a few things to help you get started on turning your bedroom into a place you yearn to return to each night. I hope they work as well for you as they did for me. Sweet dreams.
