Decorate: How to achieve total darkness for a good night sleep - Making the most of natural light, especially at this time of year, is something of a concern decoration. We usually design our rooms to maximize natural light by day and feel well lit at night. But when it comes to the bedroom, we also need to achieve the opposite of all this splendor - complete darkness. There is no guarantee a good night's sleep, as a very dark room, but with streetlights, cars and other pollutants that threaten the light to distract us, how can we create a sleeping space that is dark cocoon and comfortingly ? Focus your attention more points on your windows will help, but as the plans demonstrate, there are other ways to embrace the dark side.

Hang long curtains
the light has a sneaky way of peeping around the edges of a window treatment, so as to prevent this happening by adapting very long curtains that extend from floor to ceiling and completely block light. long curtains as this offers some sound insulation, too, which can also contribute to a good night's sleep.

Combine window treatments
one of the most effective ways to block light from the outside is hanging over a window treatment. Shutters or cared shutters curtains will largely work in the light of the exclusion, but before mounting hanging them will create another line of defense.

Use blackout fabric
Blackout fabric, which is a thick material, light exclusion, is super-effective to keep the light on. You can use it to line curtains or simply shutters with it. If you have Velux windows in the roof of your room, you can choose to have them installed blackout blinds fitted perfectly in windows, to the exclusion of full light.

Up valance
Lambrequins used to look fussy, but today's sleek design is anything but. Better yet, they offer another way to block the light, sealing the top edge of any window treatment and prevent leaching of light in the room above your curtains or blind.

Ban all screens
light from a television screen or a computer can stimulate and prevent us from falling into sleep, so make the bedroom a no technology area. Maybe you do not check emails at midnight, but it is always beneficial to keep the equipment out of the room. Even the glow of emergency light can pierce darkness and disturb your rest.

Don 't go digital
When it comes to telling time, choose a conventional clock with hands. The light from a digital display can be annoying, especially when the rest of the room is very dark, and check repeatedly the time has never helped someone get off to sleep!

Choose dark paint shades
Although brilliant, pale colors reflect light, dark colors absorb. Try painting the walls in deep tones that suck the light and create an atmosphere of pampering in your sleeping space.

Make a move
If your current room has many windows and is bathed in light, rather than invest in multiple window treatments, it might be best to move to another room (if you have one). A room with fewer windows, one in the back of the house, away from streetlights, or room that is oriented to the west to avoid being woken by the rising sun, may be the solution for better sleep .
