Revamping Your Bedroom
To start your new year off with a
fresh start, it can be very beneficial to redecorate your bedroom and/or common
area.
Switching up your bedroom can
rejuvenate your mind and clear your previous year’s thoughts so you can enter
the new year into a total different perspective! Who knew home decorating could
have such a huge impact?
1. Choose a new, refreshing color
The easiest
way to give your room a new look for the new year is to simply switch up the
color scheme. Every color has a different psychological effect on the human
brain so think of what color you want to surround yourself with into this new
year. For example, warm colors such as orange and yellow are known to relax
muscles and allow you to fall asleep quickly. Cool colors such as blues and greens are known
to reduce blood pressure and heart rate.
2.
Add
new plants/ succulents
Another way to give your room a
new look and feel is to add fresh plants or switch to different ones if you
already have some. According to researchers at Kansas State University, those
who have rooms with fresh plants experience better health, and less stress and
fatigue compared to those who don’t have plants. Some great indoor plants are
Spider plants, English ivies, Boston ferns, and Peace lilies.
3.
Purchase
an area rug
An area rug
that covers majority of the bedroom will add a pop of color and texture to your
new and improved bedroom and will totally transform the look. Whether you choose
a printed rug, solid, or one with a fuzzy texture, this item will pull
everything in the room together. Target, Overstock.com, Wayfair, and H&M
have trendy and affordable rugs just to name a few.
4.
Buy
or create new art work
Art work can be
so inspiring and can add exactly what your new space may be missing. You can
take this time to begin a new year hobby and paint something to go on your wall
or you can always purchase it! Art work can also be a great conversation piece
for when you have guests over. Check out some amazing artwork done by one of
our contributors below! Sprinkle some black girl magic in your 2017 bedroom.
5. Go on a candle splurge!
Now that you have your new color
scheme, artwork, plants, and a rug, the final touch is to add a 2017 scent. Go
on a candle spree and stock up on some new candles for the new year. Fill your
room with new scents that you’ve never tried and get into those good smelling
vibes! T.J. Maxx, Target, Yankee Candle, and Nordstrom have some fresh and
unique scents.
After revamping your “Queendom”,
you’ll be relaxed, centered, and ready to take on the new year. Go brown girl
go! Remember that you’re FEARFULLY, and wonderfully made.
Love always,
