Your bedroom should be where you go to relax, although sometimes it's not the haven of peace we're hoping for, adding these few touches will help to make it easier to relax when and where you need it.

1. Get rid of that mess
   Stretch out your toes, take a deep breath in. But how can you relax when that pile of work due tomorrow is smirking at you from the corner? Science has proven it, looking at clutter makes us more stressed! It can be difficult to do a big clean, but getting in the habit of keeping things clutter free isn't as difficult as the alternative, you'll thank us when it's all done!



2. Let more light in
   We're going all out on the science today, light has been proven to help with depression and sadness. There's even such a thing as “Seasonal Affective Disorder” (S.A.D for short) that is literally being sad because the weather's bad, so do yourself a favour and make sure you've got your fair share of the bright stuff. Now, we're not saying strip away the curtains and submit yourself to the sun, but moving the position your bed or desk is in can do wonders for your mental happiness.



3. Tone those colours down
   We love colour just as much as the next person but if you want your bedroom to be a calming space it's not good for your brain to be eaten alive. Sure, that bright yellow all over the walls is great for lifting spirits, not so good for lifting relaxation levels! Mild blues, greens and greys are great colours for Zen, you might even be able to get away with a cheeky bit of white!
