You don't need me to tell you how stressful and hectic life can be. After a hard days work, crossing items off of our to-do lists and chasing our dreams, we all deserve some much-needed downtime. But how many of us use the time at the end of the day to truly relax, unwind and focus on ourselves?
It's important to recognise that "you" time is key to our personal health and happiness. And what better way to ensure that you get that much needed time than to create your own haven for that very purpose in your own bedroom!
Here are just a few tips to help you create your own magical getaway in your own home. You can also check out our Pinterest board below for some more ideas and inspiration...
PLACEMENT
Take a look at your bed. Is it in the best place it could be for maximum cosiness? Consider putting it against a wall or in a bed-sized cubbyhole.

SECLUSION
Surround your bed with netted curtains to maximise cosiness and peaceful seclusion. Remember the forts you used to make as a child? That's what we are aiming for here.

LIGHTING
Add some dreamy lighting and instant magic by draping fairy lights around your relaxation space.

COMFORT
When it comes to relaxation, comfort is key; you can never have too many pillows or blankets to curl up in. Play with colours, patterns and textures to keep things pretty and interesting.

DECORATION
Fill your getaway with reminders of the things you love and the things that make you happy. This could be as simple as putting some art, pictures of loved ones or movie posters on the wall. If you have shelves available, add potted plants, your favourite books and some quirky knick knacks. You could also add a little bunting or some dream catchers.

Now all that's left to do is to curl up in your relaxation space with a book or your favourite show on Netflix, and feel the stresses of your day drift far far away...
