Being a busy parent is tiring work; it’s a 24/7 job with few to no breaks. Although you wouldn’t change your kids for the world; it’s crucial to your personal health and wellbeing that you’re able to get some breathing space regularly. Stress and fatigue can creep up on you, so it’s important to strike a balance, and know that you have a sanctuary or retreat within reach every day. Recharging properly will allow you to get up and do it all again tomorrow with a smile on your face (most of the time). A great way to ensure that you’re relaxing and sleeping enough is to create a serene and calm environment in your bedroom. Your bedroom space is probably one of the few rooms in the house that haven’t been overtaken by your kids, so it’s the ideal place to focus your interior attention.
Luckily, there are an array of things you can to upgrade and improve your bedroom, and there’ll be something to suit various lifestyles and budgets. Therefore, it’s time to make a list of the things that you feel let down your bedroom environment, and working out the ways you can create a space where you can switch off and relax with ease. The following are some ideas and inspiration for busy (and tired) parents who want their bedroom to provide a serene sanctuary of calm (most of the time), where they can ease the stresses of family life and get a good night’s sleep.

Comfort Is Key
If you do nothing else; make sure that you invest in a bed that’s going to help you get as many hours sleep and rest as possible. Shopping for beds doesn’t have to be difficult, and there are plenty of affordable options online and in stores. Start by deciding whether you want to buy your bed frame and mattress (the important bit) separately or not, and go from there. You can go a lie on some beds in a shop setting to see what feels right, and many mattress companies will give you a free trial so that you can make sure you’ve made the right choice.
Next, you can think about layering your bed up with crisp cotton sheets, soft cushions, throws, and pillows, and anything that will help you sink into sumptuous comfort. It’s always nice to feel like you have a place where you can cocoon yourself in softness, and your bed should be your first port of call. A deep pile or faux fur rug is another way to bring texture into the room, and your feet will appreciate the addition by your bed.
Declutter And Tidy
The easiest way to ensure you have a serene environment to relax is to do a deep clean. Get rid of clutter from the floor and surfaces, and freshen the space by creating more space. This will help to give your mind breathing room, and you won’t have an array of distractions to keep you awake or fidgeting at night. Even if you utilize your storage more (by putting things in drawers and dealing with them later); it’s about having a clean and clear room for a restful night’s sleep, and plenty of peace and quiet.
