4 Overstimulating Things You've Designed Into Your Bedroom by Mistake

The bedroom should be one of the most serene rooms in the home. In theory, a bedroom is a personalized haven where you begin your days and lay your head to rest at night, and your design should reflect that peacefulness. However, we are only human, and curating that sacred serenity is often easier said than done. Clothes pile up, random lamps are added, sometimes we invest in the wrong bedding choices... and suddenly things feel more overstimulating than they should.

Is your cozy bedroom idea not feeling so cozy these days? As we design our bedroom and live within it, we make design choices that don't always translate well to this specific space. Maybe that oversized headboard in a bold pattern is reading as way too much, or the bedside pendant light you fell in love with is actually too bright. A bedroom design is nuanced — a curated casual, if you will. And if you're having trouble sleeping through the night, it may very well be because you've accidentally designed a few overstimulating elements into your space.
