Here’s how your bedroom and bathroom can become the most nourishing and rejuvenating spaces in the home
PLANTS FOR LIFE
More than a hot decor trend, plants offer many benefits to our wellbeing by cleaning the air in our indoor environment. The sight of greenery boosts energy and mental health. And introducing plants into your bathroom is a quick and easy way to transform it into a spa retreat. Look for plants that thrive in environments with high humidity and low light.
THE WARMTH OF WOOD
Increasingly, as lives get busier due to modern commitments and distractions, having the space to replenish energy is essential to well-being. The bedroom can be more than a comfortable space for sleeping. Materials are crucial to creating the relaxing ambience you desire. A go-to material is wood. This element can be introduced into the space in many ways: furniture, flooring – real wood or lookalikes like vinyl, tile, laminates – or accessories.
ENGAGE SYMMETRY
The human eye is drawn to symmetry, and one of the best ways to create that restful ambience is to bring it to the bathroom. If space permits, consider having a his-and-hers vanity area. This creates a bold focal point. This bathroom also equips the area with a large mirror that, in turn, enhance its sense of space.
