Creating the ultra Cozy Bedroom Experience
For all the homebodies … this is for you!
Building your sanctuary at home starts in the bedroom! (We think!) Why are our own bedrooms the last room to get completed by most home owners? Likely because we can hide them easily by just shutting the door. However, that means you are ignoring creating something for you. Creating that cozy spot to land in every night not only can be replenishing, but honestly for all of you workaholics (you know who you are!) can actually help you rest and be even more productive and amazing!
Here are 5 tips to putting you first and creating a sexy, warm, glamorous space that helps you re-energize, get those Z’s, generate inspiration, and may even inspire you to go to bed even sooner than usual simply because you love the space you have created. Some of us here at Belle Ame mayyyy be regularly guilty of a 9PM snooze.
#1 Invest in Quality Bedding
Invest in the space where your head will land. I used to think this was a silly thing to consider but after spending years in the hotel industry and learning how there literally is a science to a good nights rest! Look at companies like Marriott and Equinox that guarantee a good night sleep and invest in the best linens for their guests. This is inspiring another blog on just linens alone! Stay tuned here for a link to all things bedding.

#2 Add Something that is beautiful + living! Besides you of course….
Another simple add to a calming sanctuary is bringing in those greens! Whether you grab some beautiful florals from your very own garden, or at the farmers market over the weekend, again this is such a simple add to your bedroom décor. It will make you happy, help purify the air in your room, and a bit of greenery or pop of color will just add texture and joy to your sanctuary! Easy peazy. We believe EVERY room needs florals or plants. If you want something easy to maintain, pull in easy succulents that require little to no work or water.
Adding a floral element always brings a sense of calm to a space…. don’t skip it!
#3 Candles, Books, and more Candles
Set the mood in your sanctuary. Our belief is creating spaces that work around your human senses. Creating an aroma and that flicker of light can not only add to the ambiance of your space but also add to your health and wellness. Add a little lavender mist spray to your bed before picking up a book or your evening meditation and you will be a happy gal!
#4 Keep things organized….
It makes a huge difference to not be surrounded by your own clutter. Not only is it visually appealing to the space but it will help you get your zen on and feel truly re-invigorated if all that visual clutter is out of the way! This is such a simple change, but trust us making sure everything is clean + organized is a low-cost upgrade and gives you max luxurious vibes! Think about how nice it is to come back to your guestroom in a hotel after it has been put together. Psychologically, it sort of helps you feel clean and re-centered. The Virgo in us is saying put your sh*t away and relax!
#5: Layering in that Softness. Adding beautiful area rugs that are muted in tone can help add a sophistication and a warmth to a room as well as something soft and cozy to land on when you step out of bed. Tip: Don’t feel like you need a huge rug here if you can’t afford it …. we are big fans of beautiful runners on either side of the bed to get that warm touch.
