Mom's Restful Retreat

Mom's Restful Retreat

As Mother's Day approaches, it's the perfect time to think about ways to show appreciation for the special women in our lives. And what better way to do that than by creating a relaxing retreat for Mom in her own bedroom? A peaceful, restful space is essential for anyone, but it's especially important for busy moms who need a place to recharge and unwind at the end of a long day. Here are some tips for designing the perfect bedroom for Mom.

 Step 1: Choose calming colors and textures

When selecting colors for Mom's bedroom, choose soothing shades that promote relaxation, such as soft blues, greens or neutrals. Textures are just as important as colors, so consider incorporating cozy fabrics like plush pillows, a fluffy duvet, a handknotted rug or a soft throw blanket.

Step 2: Invest in quality bedding

Quality bedding can make all the difference in creating a restful sleep environment. Look for high-quality sheets made of natural fibers like cotton or linen. A comfortable mattress is also essential, as well as a supportive pillow that suits Mom's sleeping position. Our new John Robshaw linens are the perfect organic percale long-staple cotton for a luxurious feel.

Step 3: Add some greenery

Indoor plants not only bring life and color to a room, but they also have numerous health benefits, including improving air quality and reducing stress levels. Consider adding a few easy-to-care-for plants, such as a snake plant or a peace lily, to Mom's bedroom.

Step 4: Incorporate personal touches

Adding personal touches to a bedroom can make it feel more like a sanctuary. Displaying favorite photos, artwork, or keepsakes can help Mom feel more connected to the space. Discover our collection of Mariposa frames in our Old Saybrook Home Shop. Adding a cozy throw blanket or some scented candles can also make the room feel more inviting and relaxing.

Step 5: Consider lighting options

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a relaxing environment. Soft, warm lighting is ideal for a bedroom, so consider adding a few lamps with warm bulbs to create a cozy atmosphere. Dimmer switches can also be a great addition, as they allow for adjustable lighting levels depending on Mom's mood or activity. Nothing beats the natural sunlight flowing in through a perfectly dressed window. 

Designing a relaxing retreat for Mom in her own bedroom can be a wonderful way to show appreciation and make her feel valued. By incorporating these tips, you can create a space that promotes rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Happy Mother's Day!
