If you’re remodeling your home, you’re probably exhausted by all of the decisions you have to make. However, some choices should be easy. For example, you should always use travertine tiles in your kitchen and bathroom, since these tiles will look great with any wallpaper and accessories you have in these rooms. Once you’ve tackled these two important rooms in your abode, you should create a place where you can relax and unwind from all of the stress of decorating, and this space should be your bedroom.

To start, you should consider installing travertine tile in your bedroom. While you may think that tile is only for the kitchen and bathroom, Houzz.com explained that many people are using tile in the bedroom now to create a truly unique look. Here are some other ways to make your bedroom as comfortable and stylish as possible.

Choose the right bed

There are times in life when you should save money on items, and times when you should splurge. A bed is one of the things you should splurge on. According to The Morgan Hill Times, you spend one-third of your life in bed, so you want to make sure that it’s perfect for you. Furthermore, your bed is often the focal piece of furniture in your bedroom, so you want something that’s not only comfortable, but looks great as well. Professionals in a mattress store can help you determine which mattress is right for you.

Get a proper nightstand

You want your nightstand to be big enough to – at the very least – accommodate a lamp, book or magazine, a clock and a glass of water. Consider getting an antique nightstand, since these can be quite beautiful and can add character to your room.

Pick the best colors

The color of your bedroom is very important because it has to promote relaxation and rest. According to The Huffington Post, studies have shown that people who sleep in blue rooms report getting the greatest amount of rest, compared to those in rooms that were painted a different color. The worst color for your room is purple, since one study found that people who were put in a purple room slept, on average, for less than six hours.

Think about all forms of lighting

You obviously want to have an overhead light in your bedroom, but you also want to have a few small lamps around to create a softer look at night. Furthermore, you don’t want to forget about the natural light that will come into your bedroom. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys sleeping in on the weekends, you won’t want to be woken by harsh sunlight flooding your bedroom early in the morning. This is why you want to have drapes that will keep sun out when you don’t want it and sheer curtains underneath them to let soft sunlight in for weekday mornings.
