Create a calm room
Make these tips easy tweaks tp turn your bedroom into a peaceful haven. It will help you handle the stress from school, office works (and life) better!
Tranquil colors--Aim for room with one pale tone or a few muted shades rather than a lot of bright hues. Soft colors let your mind relax while intense, vivid ones stimulate your brain.
Natural light--Hang long sheer curtains over your windows. They will filter bright sunlight to create a peaceful glow in your room, and give you privacy and a rest from the outside world at the same time.
Soothing scents--Use lilac or pine candles, incense, or lavender pillows to add earthy scents to your room. These aromas will automatically remind you of nature and help you unwind after a hectic schedule.
Quiet space--Create a corner in your room that is purely for relaxing like yoga or relaxing chair with music playing, then you will sleep better and wake up more refreshed.
Open a window-- It will give you a burst of light and oxygen-two of the best mood filters.
Cut some flowers--They add more earthy aromas, evoking the peacefulness of nature.
Clear off a wall--Keep the wall across from your bed bare. Blank spaces help unclutter your mind.
