With the cooler temps we've been having and holidays approaching, I've been feeling the urge to hang out in the bedroom more, holiday movies on replay anyone?
Having a calm and cozy space to relax (and hide) in has made it even more enjoyable. So today I'm sharing some tips to create a calm and cozy bedroom.
For me, calm starts with not having a cluttered bedroom. It's an instant mood changer to come into the bedroom and not see any clutter on the floor, bed, dresser and nightstand tops and no clothes, shoes, etc. falling out of the closets or drawers.
First put clothes, shoes, hats and everything else away as soon as possible. Right after the laundry is done or after an item is used is ideal but also life happens so if you can't do it right away, carve out some time whenever you can to put everything away. I understand that initially this may be a larger editing and organizing project to tackle so check out my free downloadable checklists here or blog posts for decluttering, organizing and maintenance.
Second, make your bed. Unless you plan on staying in bed all day (guilty of this), make the bed to start off your day right . Again, this doesn't always happen but try to make it a part of your morning routine - plus who doesn't love getting back into a freshly made bed?
Third, if you have the space, consider creating a simple sitting area. We got a new (used) coffee table and desk chair so I moved our living room ottoman, tray and chair to an empty corner of the bedroom. It really ties the room together and is a great space to read, journal and hang out in.
Fourth, keep nightstands and dresser tops clear of clutter and create your vibe. Add fresh flowers, plants, books, photos, art, quotes and candles - anything that makes the space feel like your own and gives off that calm and cozy vibe.
Last, I don't know if you're a yes or no to tv in the bedroom. We've done both, but currently when I think of a cozy bedroom, I think of hiding from the toddler tv shows and retreating to my bedroom to watch some romantic comedies. So we borrowed a small tv from my mom and I'm def on team tv in the bedroom right now.
