Calming Bedroom Ideas

Firstly, this bed frame is a lovely neutral colour that immediately calms the mind. This is emphasised by the curved headboard that cocoons around the side to create a snug space to rest. Everything about the Cambourne Bed is simple, yet exactly what you would want in your relaxing bedroom. It comes in different colour ways so you can choose whether you want it to be more cool toned or more warm toned.

The perfect bedding choice has to be this set in light beige. You can even get the matching fitted sheet and pillows in the same shade. They are super soft and of good quality so you know you'll get a comfortable night's sleep. The bed sheets are stylish and can easily be mixed and matched with other colour options from the bedding range.

We then picked out the celadon blue shade for accent pillows. You could throw a couple of these amongst the light beige to complement each other. It is a great way to add a pop of colour to the neutrals. Of course, blue is known for being a calming colour so it will help make the bed feel heavenly.

Every bed has to have a cushion or two on it, it just makes the bed feel cosier and homely. Our choice of cushion is this Jaipur one. It is made with cotton velvet on the front side and cotton on the reverse, so you can alternate the side you want facing out. A silvery colour will look beautiful next to the other tones on your bed. There is even the option to get it in a square shape or rectangular shape – perhaps you have two square cushions to sit in front of your pillows or you have one rectangle to sit in the centre. One final suggestion is to use the cushions to create a window seat for you to have some downtime to admire the view.

To pair with the blue pillowcases, we recommend a light blue throw. Again, it adds a pop of colour whilst tying the bed set together nicely. It is a classic weave that is predominantly blue but intertwines with white too. To complete the design, there are white tasselled edges to give the throw a softer look. Having this draped over the bed will remind you of being by the sea – dreamy.

When planning a bedroom makeover, you want to think about how you can make the most of the natural light that shines through the windows. It is much more soothing to have natural light rather than artificial light in your bedroom. For this reason, we believe that a sheer pair of curtains will do the trick. The voile curtain panel is the ideal window treatment. They can be pulled across for some peace and privacy, but the sheer design means the light from outside can still beam into your bedroom. You get the best of both worlds.

Having a rug that's gentle on your feet can be a great addition to a calming bedroom. We selected the Montana Rug because it is a subtle design but it makes all the difference to a space. Every time you get in and out of bed you can immediately be relaxed by the rug beneath your feet. It adds warmth to the room so you can always feel snug.

A stunning, natural and elegant bedside table is just what a relaxing bedroom needs. Bedside tables are so practical to have in the bedroom but you don't want them to be the focal point of the room. The Lucy Cane design has one drawer to store things away and out of sight, but you have the space on top for anything within easy reach and there is even a shelf below that you could add a plant or small decor to.

A cosy armchair placed in the corner of the bedroom makes for the ideal space to unwind. This chair in the sage shade is beautiful. It fits well with the calming bedroom design and provides another home comfort. Another bonus is the design of the tub chair is curved and cocoons you, just like the headboard of the bed does – these slight similarities can really bring the bedroom together.

The name says it all. A plant to bring peace and zen into a room. It is super pretty to look at and even better that it's super easy to look after. It makes for a great housewarming gift or a gift from you to you. This can sit pretty on top of the bedside table in a lovely ceramic vase. A bit of greenery can leave the bedroom feeling fresh.

One idea for the pendant is to have it hanging centrally above the bed because it keeps the design to a minimum with no overpowering lighting. However, one idea we like is to have a pendant on each side of the bed hanging above the tables to act as a lamp. This keeps the lighting out of the attention yet it gives a relaxed feel. Every room and everyone's preference is different but it is worth considering both ways.

Now it is time to find calming pictures. The choices are endless but you will know what suits your style the best. Here are a few that we have picked out:

Sleeping In The Clouds Print – the perfect fit for a calming bedroom. Everyone wants to feel like they are sleeping in the clouds and that's the feeling you get from this print.

Ceramic Birds Wall Decoration – if you want something that adds depth to the bedroom, rather than a simple print, this is the one for you. The birds are gorgeous and will amazing on a pale blue wall.

Calm Blue Ocean Art Print – a classic example of a calming print and it is definitely one of our top picks. You can't look at it without instantly feeling relaxed.

Classic white walls work for a calming bedroom so there is no need to change if you are happy with them. However, if you want to spruce things up a little then we have a couple of suggestions for you.

Pavillion Blue – Farrow&Ball – a delicate and fresh green blue that would look lovely on its own or paired with a white shade.

Wevet – Farrow&Ball – a delicate white with a hint of grey is such a subtle shade but works well with all the colours we have included while keeping things neutral.
