After a long day at the office the last thing you want to walk into is a bleak bedroom with a half-on duvet and clothes trying to escape your drawers. We spend about a third of our lives in our bedrooms— so shouldn’t they be total sanctuaries? I say yes, so we’ve rounded up some easy and affordable ways to upgrade your space to a blissful haven.
Set out your favorite scents. Sometimes all it takes to get into a relaxing mood is a calming scent. Set up a candle corner with some of your favorites, ready to light when the time feels right. We are currently obsessed with this one that releases the warming scent of a fireplace.
Keep it clean. This sounds easier than it is. Wake up a few minutes early each day so that you have enough time to tidy up your space and put away those five sweaters that didn’t make the cut. Also important? Making your bed. That way, you’ll come home to a clean (and serene) room.
Get your DIY on. You don’t have to spend your entire paycheck on new home accessories to give your bedroom an upgrade. Instead of heading to your closest Home Goods, try creating a stylish new decoration yourself. We love this headboard made out of your favorite books, these glitter pillows you can make in only 5 steps (perfect for Valentine’s Day), and these stencil text pillows that are fantastic spots for your favorite quotes.
