Tip 1 –Your Sacred Space


It is a Sacred Place – if you treat it so -a place for your body to deeply rejuvenate.


2, 555 sleep hours in a year (average 7 hours a night) - A lot of sleep time!

A place for some FLA Focused Loving Attention to support your winding down

What's your bedroom vibe?

If it's not Sacred - read on



Tip 2 – Everything counts


Small changes can make a huge difference to any space

Eg, If a wooden floor add a beautiful rug your feet will love

What is your bedroom communicating today?

That's where you start



Tip 3 – Bedroom serious


One space to be absolute in - your sleep matters

No trash bin, no washing, no bric-a-brac

Replace old and tattered rugs and carpets

Relocate the book cases

Buy an alarm clock instead of using your phone/no techy stuff

Consider buying a wake up light sunrise alarm clock for heavy sleepers



Tip 4 – Black Out


If your a light sleeper, do consider black out curtains to maintain total darkness, a scented eye mask and.... we will get to the TV...



Tip 5 – Less is More


Remove any and all distractions to the eye

Less is more on bedroom surfaces - Then the pieces you love standout

Piles of stuff on tops of cupboards looks unsightly and distracting

Take everything down and review - consider what you need and

what you don't need - out it goes

Bonus you have freed up some storage space



Tip 6 – Old and ‘heavy’ furniture


Experiment with moving / re-organising furniture if space allows

Remove furniture that serves no purpose or feels 'heavy'

Furniture makeover for those side tables and drawers

Changing white furniture to wood effect, acrylic or chalk paint is what you need

Maybe a trip to DIY store - see what's available



Tip 7 – What's the big deal with bedroom TV?


A TV in the bedroom can negatively affect sleep quality by suppressing melatonin and stimulating the brain

Stimulating the brain doesn't support the winding down

Experiment - remove for a week, see how you go

Try another week

Clock the difference...



Tip 8 – The spot light is on the bed


A well placed bed can enhance the overall design and create an open atmosphere


Some FLA on the Bed


How old is your bed, your mattress?

What about pillows , quilt and duvet - how old are they?

If you cannot remember time to renew - check the sales

Your body will appreciate the investment

Treat yourself - I recommend:

A wool mattress topper -- super, super cosy and lux

Much is stored (and hidden) under the bed - do check that out

Years old faded and worn-out bed linen need to go

Treat your bed

Spice up your bed linen with a new bright coloured duvet set:

So many beautiful and elegant styles and designs to suit your bedroom decor

Have lots of fun choosing, mixing and matching




Tip 9 - Neutral tones or rich and deep?


Classic combination is beige walls with cream bedding - creating a lavish, deluxe seamless look

Deep rich and contrasting tones creates a warmth of luxurious sophistication

Your preference -your sacred space!



Tip 10 – Finishing Touches


The Finishing Touches
The Finishing Touches

A scented candle/oil burner, new plant flowers, soft throws and cushions.


Make it a weekly ritual to declutter to maintain the essential vibe


Enjoy and appreciate your bedroom space


It is a sacred space, if you treat it so
