That is the formula you need for this. The bed as the central piece of furniture, a bedside table with a reading lamp - that's all you need. A spacious closet and a bed bench also provide enough storage space. Because: You can definitely relax better in a well-organized atmosphere than in a junk room.
When it comes to lighting, you should rely on indirect light sources or dimmable basic lighting in soft, warm white light . That has a calming effect. You can also do well with your choice of color if you don't go too colorful. White is a good choice that looks wonderfully harmonious both on its own and combined with individual splashes of color. If you like it more colorful, you can paint one or more walls in one color and color-match accessories and textiles to match. Soft and cool shades such as a delicate pastel blue have a calming and relaxing effect and are just right for your relaxation room. Alternatively, you can also use dark colors such as an intense petrol green. These convey a feeling of security.
With bed linen, decorative extra pillows and cuddly blankets , velvety-soft materials such as satin, flannel, velvet and fleece also increase well-being.

For example, look out for GOTS-certified bed linen made from organic cotton, which is made without using petroleum or synthetic materials. Then you and your skin will enjoy it for a long time.

Jetting from A to B, working, watching TV, cooking, talking on the phone: Apparently people are not made for doing nothing. But there are things that come close to doing nothing and help us to come down a little , reduce stress and relax .
In addition to exercise, this can be cuddling, for example. Whether we hide under the blanket alone, have company from our favorite people or loyal four-legged friends: Cuddling releases a hormone that reduces stress and excitement and is therefore good for our mental well-being. We can also let our thoughts run free and think of something beautiful. Even daily mindfulness exercises and meditation methods help to be more relaxed and to cope with stress - without spiritual and religious respect. For example, by simply observing your breathing rhythm and pulse for a few minutes. Those who do this regularly learn quickly to take care of themselves and to feel their body.
Harmonious room fragrances can also have a positive effect on your mood and well-being. Lavender is particularly suitable for the bedroom, as it has a calming and soothing effect and thus promotes restful sleep.
