Clear bedroom clutter and create a personal sanctuary
Would you benefit from a better night’s sleep? Do you need a place in your home to de-stress after a challenging day? With so much stimulation, disturbing information and demands for our attention coming at us in this world, we all need a place to retreat and restore our energy

Your bedroom can be this place. It is the place to renew our minds and bodies. This is where we sleep, heal and begin our days. Therefore, it is possibly the most important place in the home to keep clutter-free. When we set up our bedrooms so that they are peaceful, we have a greater chance of maintaining serenity.

Follow the guidelines below to ensure that your bedroom provides you with calm and rejuvenates your spirit.

Remove Sleep Disrupters:
Electronics – TVs, radios, ipods, computers, etc. cause electromagnetic stress and can weaken the immune system
Paperwork, bills, books, magazines and misc clutter have various types of energy associated with them; it can be hard to tune them out and rest peacefully
Lively or harsh artwork does not belong in the bedroom; it is not conducive to feelings of tranquility, but rather may have wild, upbeat, or negative qualities
Bright colors and active patterns make you alert and can cause agitation

Simplify & Beautify:
Choose a flesh-tone or pastel color for the walls – the softest, most soothing tones are restful and can lull us into sleep
Accessorize with soft colors and subdued patterns, think romantic and gentle
Add inviting touches like a cozy comforter or relaxing chair to call you into the space
Bring in fresh flowers for good, healthy chi and the whimsy that comes with gazing at a thing of beauty
