How To Turn Your Bedroom Into a Sanctuary

There is no space more important to a person than their bedroom. This needs to be somewhere that you will feel totally calm and relaxed so that you can get enough sleep each night but also enjoy relaxing there. With this in mind, here are a few of the best home decor ideas to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary. Not only will this help you relax, but it will also help you stay focused on God which could improve your life in many ways.

Declutter

It is impossible to relax and pray in a room that is cluttered because it will feel chaotic and stressful. This is why you should always start by decluttering the room and making sure that you have smart storage solutions which will help to keep the space neat, tidy and spacious at all times. Declutter is the most important step to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary.

Lighting

It is amazing the difference that good lighting can make in a space, particularly in the bedroom. You can drastically improve the lighting in any room by using the three different layers of lighting and by making sure that you have stylish lamps, such as the wall lights from places like Cox & Cox.ย 

Soft Materials

Having soft materials in the bedroom which make it much more comfortable and inviting, particularly during the colder months of the year. This should include having plush throws, soft bedding, and a soft carpet or shag rug. A comfy floor pillow for reading your bible on or praying will help turn your bedroom into a sanctuary too.

Create An Altar

Christian Home Decor

The best part of decorating your home with religious art and other trinkets is the ability to create a home prayer corner or a beautiful home altar to display your Bible and rosary. This is easy to set up in an empty corner of the room or on a bureau. Even if you only have room for hanging a rosary on the wall with a piece of artwork, this will help turn your bedroom into a sanctuary that you won’t want to leave.

Neutral Colors

Generally speaking, the bedroom should be decorated with subtle, neutral colors so that it is a relaxing space. Of course, it should also be a reflection of your personality which you can bring in through religious artwork and faith-based items. Beautiful neutral colors and soft tones will help turn your bedroom into a sanctuary where you can relax and unwind.

Fragrance

Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of interior design yet one which has a huge impact on how you feel when you enter a room is fragrance. You will want your bedroom to smell nice so that you can easily relax and there are a number of ways to achieve this, including air fresheners, reed diffusers, flowers, and scented candles. Frankincense will go a long way in trying to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary. You should also make sure that you keep the bedroom clean and change your bedding often.

Plants

Potted Wild Grass

Plants are also a great way to improve the look and feel of your bedroom and there are all different kinds to consider. In addition to adding color and style to the room, these are also proven to have mental health benefits so they are certainly worth having in a space as important as the bedroom.

Faith-Based Decor

Surrounding yourself with sacred paintings and religious knick-knacks will help keep your home and your bedroom faith-focused. From bible verse wall decals to framed religious art. You’ll find plenty of inspiring and thought-provoking design ideas on Theology of Home

These are a few of the best ways to turn your bedroom into a sanctuary. It is important that this is a space where you feel completely comfortable and able to relax and you might find that making positive changes could improve many aspects of your life.

Luckily, there are holistic wellness products that can help make the motherhood journey easier!

Lost Empire Herbs stands out as a remarkable family venture led by three health-conscious brothers who share a profound dedication to a wholesome, active lifestyle. 

Their journey began with a modest kitchen table and the introduction of pine pollen, but it has since evolved into something truly remarkable, exceeding all expectations.๐Ÿ˜ฑ

What truly sets Lost Empire Herbs apart is their extensive collective knowledge, derived from years of hands-on experience, unwavering commitment, and a willingness to explore new horizons. Driven by a genuine desire to enhance lives, they made a resolute decision to make the benefits of these exceptional herbs accessible to a wider audience. 

Their primary focus revolves around offering hormonal support, a vital consideration given the prevalence of endocrine-disrupting compounds in today's world, although their scope extends beyond this singular realm. ๐ŸŒฑ 

I'm genuinely enthused about the prospect of trying out their products, eagerly anticipating the chance to personally experience the transformative effects of these wellness herbs. The brothers' evident passion and expertise have left me intrigued and eager to embark on a journey towards total wellness, guided by the offerings of Lost Empire Herbs.
