Rest Easier With These Clever Bedroom Design Tips

Stressed about your lack of sleep? If so, you aren’t alone. An estimated 30 percent of adults struggle with regular insomnia. And while some factors associated with sleeplessness may feel outside your control – like on-the-job stress or issues with the kids – other aspects of sleep hygiene can be adjusted with minimal effort. In fact, revamping your bedroom design can have a profound effect on your ability to get sufficient rest. At Latest Bedding, we find joy in helping our customers create tranquil environments for better sleep. Keep reading to learn about our top bedroom design tips to ensure you remain well rested year round. 

Keep Out the Sun

Sunlight feels great when you’re drinking your morning coffee and reading the paper. However, when you’re trying to sleep, the last thing you want is sun streaming into the bedroom. Fortunately, it’s easy to filter out light from the sun, the moon, and unfortunately placed street lights. Latest Bedding offers a wide selection of curtains and window panels to help block light and inspire restful sleep. Consider the Belvedere Silver Window Panel Pair (Set of 2). Crafted from diamond woven velvet in soothing neutrals like silver, ivory, and champagne, these lined panels by J Queen New York are perfect for minimizing light pollution. With a 3-inch header and 3-inch rod pocket, the panels are easy to hang. Display them on their own or pair them with the Belvedere Window Valance and Bedding Sets, also available from J Queen. 

Consider Color Palette

Color preferences may seem subjective and unimportant. However, when it comes to bedroom design, the colors you choose can have a profound effect on one’s ability to sleep through the night. According to color psychology, certain shades have a particular effect on the human mind, with different hues invoking feelings of excitement, calm, creativity, and even romance. For a cozy bedroom that inspires restful sleep, experts suggest decorating in deep blue. A tranquil shade that adds both calm and interest to a space, deep blue hues are reminiscent of both sky and sea. We particularly appreciate the Bebejan Blue Denim Patchwork 5 Piece Reversible Comforter Set. Featuring a patchwork of denim textures in shades of indigo, this 100 percent cotton sateen set boasts a strie pattern on the reverse side. The end result is two cozy looks for one convenient price. Packed in a sustainable self-fabric bag, the set also features two coordinating pillow shams, a printed square pillow, and an oblong pillow. It’s machine washable and, with a GSM of 250, the comforter is ideal for use year round. 

Of course, not everyone is a fan of blue bedding. If you prefer soothing neutrals in this part of the home, you’re sure to sleep well under the Cozy Cotton Puff Comforter from Pine Cone Hill. A customer-favorite "One-derful and Done" bedding solution, this snuggly piece is oversized to keep you warm and relaxed. So you’ll feel like you’re falling asleep in a serene cloud. Buttery soft with a lightweight loft, the ivory comforter is made from 100 percent cotton with a 100 percent polyester fill. It’s machine washable and boasts flanged edges. Pair this bedding choice with your own accessories or pick up the matching Cozy Cotton Puff Shams for a look that comes together beautifully. 

Cut Clutter

You don’t need the path to your bed to be blocked for clutter to interfere with your ability to sleep. In fact, a cluttered room can boost stress, thereby stopping you from relaxing enough to get to sleep. If you want to rest easier this year, think about cleaning up your room a little. We suggest ditching items that don’t spark joy, or at least stowing them away somewhere out of sight. The goal is to create a serene environment that promotes healthful rest.

Control Temperature

If you struggle with sleep disturbances, then you probably know that it’s essential to keep the bedroom between 60 and 72 degrees throughout the year. However, with energy costs skyrocketing, not everyone can afford to blast the heat or AC year round. Fortunately, bedding can play a significant role in controlling body temperature while you sleep. Our bedding pros love the Ultra Percale Sheet Set from Pure Parima. Part of the brand’s Hotel Collection, this sheet set is crafted from 100 percent pure Egyptian cotton. Made from extra-long staple fibers picked by hand in the Nile River Valley, the product has a matter percale weave sure to keep sleepers warm in winter and cool in summer. Moisture wicking and crisp, these sheets are as attractive as they are comfortable, thanks to the rich color palette. Choose from shades like Flax, Slate, Carbon, and Salt. Sold complete with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two matching pillowcases, the Ultra Percale Set is machine washable for customer convenience. It comes in sizes twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king.

Choose Bedding That Sparks Joy

Of course, the best bedding for sleep is ultimately whatever items fill you with joy. After all, you’re unlikely to drift off serenely if the color or pattern of your comforter stresses you out. For a choice as bold as you are, think about sliding under the Aubriet Fuchsia Duvet Cover by Designers Guild. Featuring clusters of warm-toned summer roses against a softly textured backdrop, this stunning cover is crafted from softened linen for a result that’s both cozy and breathable. Machine washable and available in sizes queen and king, the piece pairs well with ivory, tan, and pink accessories. Pick up additional items, like the matching Aubriet Fuchsia Shams or Euro Shams, for an extra cost.
