From blue light glasses to smart watches that track your every toss and turn, the campaign to get better sleep is well underway. But before you splurge on the latest gadgets, take a look at your environment. Designing a bedroom with a soothing color scheme, clean lines, and deep comfort can have a significant impact on delivering mental and physical ease. Here are our must-haves for creating the ultimate sleep sanctuary.

Set the Stage
First and foremost, let’s talk about the bed. The right mattress and box spring can help prompt your body to drift off and stay asleep with advanced features to keep you cool and fully supported—even adjusting manually or intuitively to fit your body. As for the bed frame, it’s the key design element that sets the tone of the entire room. Think modern beds for a clean and minimalist vibe while canopy beds add soft romance.
Embrace Your Softer Side
Snuggle in for our favorite piece of the bedroom puzzle: the cozy accessories. High-quality bedding is a must, but also consider some soft blankets (perhaps even weighted ones, prized for their sleep-inducing effect) and an upholstered headboard that’ll encourage you to read a book before bed—instead of doomscrolling on your phone.
Declutter and Destress
Nothing is more grating to the senses than clutter and mess. Practice the age-old tip of “out of sight, out of mind”—even if that means adding a pair of nightstands or baskets where you can unceremoniously sweep in all the bits and bobs. If you need to store some larger items, we recommend storage furniture like dressers. For smaller bedrooms, look for storage beds and benches to deliver more function in less space.
Bring the Lights Down
The biggest factor regulating circadian rhythms, our natural sleep-wake cycle, is light. In a world flooded by blue light 24/7, give your body an extra hint when it’s time for bed with warm and glowing ambient lamps. Table lamps are a popular choice, though a pair of sconces or a chandelier are great if you’re struggling with floorspace. On top of adding the right light, it’s key to eliminate unwanted glare like bright signs and streetlamps with drapes and shades.
