The minimalist look, with it's pair back nature, has relaxing benefits which can help you sleep for longer. The muted tones and low to the ground furniture can put your mind in a state of relaxation quicker than any vibrant colours. To achieve a minimalist look bedroom you simply have to declutter your space, and by doing this you will feel more zen-like and relaxed. This is then followed by a neutral paint such as a white, or a light pastel colour if you find white too stark. Add fresh linen in a white or a grey colour, combined with a few cushions and throws to give the bed an inviting feel. Finally, add in a few accessories such as minimal hue furniture, rugs and always a touch of green plants to make the room breathe.
Ciara's Top Tips to Achieve that Minimalist Look:
- Stick to a Neutral Palette
- Keep your color palette to a few muted moody shades and touches of white for a soothing space.
- Paper lanterns and shades will cast a soft glow on your bedroom that will lull you to sleep.
- Keep a small tray or bowl on your nightstand to corral all your jewelry and keep clutter at bay.
- When in doubt, choose a low-slung platform bed to make your space feel zen. It's also great for feng shui.
- Decorate with simple black accents.
- Keep your bedding simple. White linen sheets and a wool throw are just what you need to achieve the minimalist look.

- Keep your room in monochrome shades of gray to make your space feel as relaxing as possible.
