How to Turn Your Room into a Relaxing Den

Your bedroom should be a sanctum where you can unwind and let the troubles of the world float away. Here is how you can transform it from just a place where you sleep into a relaxing den where you can really kick back.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Armchair
• Overstuffed Pillows
• Table Lamps
• Paint

1. Take stock of the space you have available. A cluttered room, even if it is cluttered with comfy furniture, is not going to help you relax.

2. Get an armchair. If you have room enough, make it a recliner. A chair you can really sink into is one of the most important features of a relaxing den.

3. Use pillows to turn your bed into a couch. If your bed is against the wall, you can use a few big, overstuffed pillows to make a backrest. When you are ready to sleep, simply stow the pillows in the closet or under the bed.

4. Get table lamps with subdued lighting. This can create a soothing atmosphere for when you want to sit quietly and read.

5. Decorate your room with soothing colors. Many people find pale blues and purples relaxing, but go with what you personally enjoy.
