Do you want your daughter or son to sleep well at night? If your answer is yes, then you need to make his or her sleeping space comforting, restful, peaceful, gentle and relaxing.
If you are thinking of decorating or redecorating your child’s bedroom there are certain things you need to take into consideration. You must do away with bright primary colours and bedding patterns that are too loud. This is because it will aid your child in getting a good night’s sleep.
Your son or daughter should see their sleeping space as a place of refuge, sanctuary and retreat. It should be a place, where they should love spending a lot of time. When it is time to sleep they should feel safe as the doze off and should feel relaxed by what they see when they wake up in the morning.
These elements are critical for a child’s physical and mental health since they live in a world with some much to excite them. There bedroom should be a healthy space where they can readjust their mind, soul and body.
Bring In Nature
When you use and design a bedroom space around natural elements, you send an unconscious message to the brain to feel calm and peaceful. The sights, sounds, smells and textures found in nature present a balance and are a great source of inspiration.
You can do this by integrating images of nature into your child’s space, using photography to do wall art. Photos can help children observe details around them and learn how to appreciate the world of nature around them.
It teaches them what nature does for humanity as a whole and presents lovely views or scenery to the child’s mind.
Adopt Colour Psychology
A major reason why baby nurseries are designed with colours like baby blue, pale pink and soft yellow is that they are relaxing shades of colour.
Intense and bold colours such as bright red are too stimulating for a child’s room and will not produce the calming effect required for good restful sleep.
It is better to use options like a base of soft neutrals like gray colours and slate mixed with pastel colours like celery green and lavender.
These are alternative colours to blue and standard pink. Colour schemes you should avoid are high-contrast palettes and busy patterns on beddings, rugs, or walls.
The reason is that they will make your child feel more energized instead of relaxing them. These types of colours stimulate certain hormones in the body when they strike the retina of the eye.
