How to Turn Your Bedroom into an Oasis of Rest

bedroom oasis

Every room in your house has a specific function, and the bedroom has the most important one of all – to allow you to rest and gather energy for new challenges. It is very important that the room reflects its function with its décor. Your bedroom should be cozy, soft and pleasant to be in, as well as relaxing for the eyes and free of all modern day distractions. If you are looking for ways to update your bedroom décor and make it a true resting oasis, we will help you with that.

Go for Neutral Color Scheme

Highly saturated hues are tiresome for the eyes and they can increase anxiety and thus worsen the quality of your sleep and rest time. Pastels, greens, lavender and subtle blue hues are recommended for the bedroom, but you can skip all those complications and opt for an entirely neutral room. Not only will they be soothing for your eyes, but also easy to decorate.

Add a Gallery Wall

A stylish gallery wall may be just what your bedroom needs in order to reach its full potential. We usually decorate focus walls only in our living rooms, but there is no reason not to include them in your bedroom, as well. All you need to do is choose a perfect place for it. Placing it directly in front of your bed can be a bit conspicuous, while setting it behind your bed may be completely useless. Therefore, display lovely and subtle artwork on some of the walls on the sides of the room, and wake up to your favorite pieces each day.

Headboard Makes All the Difference

A well-chosen headboard might be the thing you need to bring the whole room together. It creates a visual focal point and makes the space look truly finished. You do not even have to invest in a whole new frame; just decide for a separate headboard. The size and the material will depend on the dimensions of the room, as well as the prevailing theme and fabrics throughout the bedroom.

Change Your Linens

Changing your sheets regularly goes without saying. However, opting for some new linen can be just what you need, especially if you are decorating your space on a tight budget. Choose bold patterns or rich colors that will truly make a difference in the room.

Update Your Bed

The bed is a quintessential element of your bedroom, and any update done on it can only contribute to improving the room ambience. Choosing a comfy king single mattress will make resting and sleeping a lot easier. Additionally, if you add a stylish canopy, your bed will become a true oasis of peace. A bed bench is another interesting way to improve the appearance and functionality of your bed.

Create a Seating Area

A large bedroom could benefit from a cozy seating area. It can be an ideal place to drink your morning coffee, eat your lazy day breakfast, or curl up with your favorite book. Speaking of books, you can take the seating area to a whole new level, by creating a full blown reading nook.

Add a Dressing Table

It is a win-win investment – you will clear up some space in your bathroom and you will be able to get ready in your room instead of waiting in line for the bathroom to be empty. Also, incorporating a vanity can add your bedroom a touch of hotel-chic, making it more sophisticated and luxurious.

Hang a Statement Chandelier

If you want to add a bit of glamour to your bedroom interior, do that by simply installing a striking and elegant lighting fixture. Depending on your overall décor, you can decide for an antique crystal chandelier or a wooden ceiling fan (if you prefer the naturalistic style).

Your room is just a few steps away from becoming a peaceful oasis you have always dreamed it will be. Do not give up now, and start redecorating as soon as possible. Sleep well, rest often.

Tips To Make Moving Easier

There’s a saying that moving your home is one of the most stressful events in life. Even if you plan to hire a mover to take care of the basic moving tasks like packing and transporting your belongings, you still have to go through the hassle of settling down in a new home, establishing a new routine, finding new friends, adjusting to a new work environment/school, and so on. But with proper planning and homework, anyone can ensure a smooth, organized move into a new home. Start your moving process way early. Packing is, obviously, going to take up much of your time in the days preceding your move. Here is an infographic from Solent Plastics with some useful moving precautions, facts, and tips! Don’t forget to check it out!

Amateur at Home: What You Can Do about a Stinky Sink

Whether you have soft water or hard water, garbage disposal or traditional sink, chances are you will have to deal with sink odors at some time or another. Sink odors most commonly happen when food particles build up in the drain and decompose. It’s a natural process, but the smell is not something you want infiltrating your kitchen. A stinky sink is also a sign you might have blockage or further plumbing problems so it’s good to keep a sharp eye out and stop problems when you see them.

Home Remedies
There are actually several around-the-house, non-chemical products that can be helpful in destroying odors in your sink. Despite what you may have heard, they can actually be extremely effective in most cases and will save you money. If you have a garbage disposal, try cutting a lemon in half and putting it in the disposal. Not only will it get rid of the odor, but it will leave a fresh and natural lemon scent whenever you use it. For sinks with or without a garbage disposal, you can try a combination of 1 cup baking soda, 2 cups vinegar, and boiling hot water. First, pour the cup of baking soda into the drain. Next, pour the vinegar on top (this will cause bubbling). Flush it with hot water. This will kill the bacteria that builds up from decomposing food. The benefits of using these products are that these items are all pretty cheap, versatile, and you might already have them at home.

Store-Bought Products
A little hot water, lemon, baking soda, and vinegar go a long way in destroying sink odors. However, if these do not work, there are several products you can buy at the store that are made to take care of drain clogs and/or odors. Since these products can contain potentially harmful chemicals, it’s recommended to only use them as a last resort.

Call a Plumber
If none of the above methods seem to help and/or you don’t want to use store-bought products, you can always call plumber. Sometimes the decomposing food gets so stuck in the drain, and the only way to get it out is to disassemble the drain. In this case, it’s best to call someone who knows what they are doing. Places like Rooter Pro Plumbing can do emergency repairs and help get your kitchen back in working order more quickly.

There are many solutions to sink odors. If the first methods you try don’t work, don’t get discouraged. Sink odors may be inconvenient and gross, but they can always be remedied.
