A serene and calm oasis. Somewhere to listen to the rain trickle
down the windowpane, or to watch passersby in the street. Curling up with your
current book of choice, and always knowing at the end of a long day, you can
sink into your bed and let the world pass you by for a few hours.
In reality, though, it mostly is clothing dotted around the floor, someone's shoes, a never-ending washing pile and a lot of wanting the bed to look more inviting, to be relaxed and calm.
It is time to take charge and turn your bedroom into the thing you want the most - that space of cool and calm, with a hint of nature.
The great thing about putting more nature in your bedroom is most colours that naturally occur in nature appeal to our senses. They make us happier and calmer and provided added health benefits. And who doesn’t love that?

Plants
Big plants look like a little piece of the woods in your bedroom, and
small ones add beautiful touches of colour. The critical thing to remember when
you are adding plants is that they all have different levels of air
purification. Ideally, any plant in your room is better than none. If you
struggle to keep plants alive, try to only purchase hardy indoor plants. Interestingly green as a
colour makes you more productive too - and who couldn’t do with a boost of that
in the morning?
Bed
Your bed should always be free of clutter. Clean sheets are generally
better for sleeping on, so changing the sheets at least once a week will give
you that ‘clean sheet’ day feel that everyone loves. Make sure that your
mattress is as supportive as you need it to be, more often than not, we leave
our mattresses to get far too old before we replace them. If you have a metal
bed frame, consider swapping to a wooden one and check out wicker headboards to go with it. The wooden
furniture will complement the look you are going for.
Mess
If you need a lot of storage in your room, try and opt for wooden or
bamboo boxes. Wicker baskets, and large wooden trunks for things like duvets
and sheets. Pine is one of the cleanest and lightest looking woods, and this
makes it perfect for giving your bedroom a light and natural feel.
Walls
If you love colour, then try to stick to colours you might naturally
find in nature. Stone colours work well if you don’t like white all that much,
and greens and blues are very relaxing. Rather
than paint the whole room that colour, think about 4 walls white and one in
another colour. Not only will it give you an instance feature wall, but you can
use that colour as the ‘theme’ colour for other things you buy like candles,
rugs, and bedsheets.
When going for a natural look in any room, try to stick to naturally
found materials, and colours that you would usually find in nature.
