Create a cosy bedroom with blinds

Most people want to be able to retreat to their bedrooms for peace, quiet and relaxation, and there are some simple steps to follow to aid a good night’s sleep.

An iVillage.com article first advises not to keep a television or computer in the room, and suggests a calm, soothing colour scheme.

Blinds can keep out natural light very effectively, but can also be adjusted to allow small amounts in if preferred. The interiors specialist advocates keeping a bedroom as dark as possible when going to sleep.

For further control over the lighting of a room at night, having a light fitting with a dimmer switch is a big help, the article said.

Air purifiers can ensure optimum air quality which helps to achieve a good night’s rest, and the white noise they often create can drown out distracting sounds.

A Style at Home magazine article said blackout blinds can make a bedroom more sleep-friendly.
