At the onset of the pandemic, most people were optimistic, choosing to look at being able to stay home with their families as a blessing in disguise. But those households were disillusioned rather quickly. When you spend all of your time, day in and day out, with the same people, you are bound to start getting on each other’s nerves. Because of this, it is more important than ever to make sure you get time alone.
One of the best ways to get that alone time is to set up a self-care space in one corner of your bedroom. The space can be outfitted in any way you like, using furniture that you find comfortable. An accent chair or recliner can be tempting, but if you plan to share your peaceful little corner with others on occasion you might want a small loveseat instead.
Meanwhile, everyone has their own ideas of what self-care entails. For some people, self-care looks like sitting down and devouring a novel in hours. For others, self-care might look like knitting, crocheting, or otherwise engaging the hands or mind when restless or stressed.
Even if you share a room with your significant other, you can still create this self-care space. Using a loveseat with accent tables with shelves and drawers on either side gives you and your partner the ability to relax doing what you love.
Previously, bedrooms were only considered useful for sleeping and dressing, but now people are spending as much time in their bedrooms as they are in the living room. But most bedrooms are not set up to allow for lounging furniture. It will take some creativity and time to set everything up the way you want. But the end result will be enjoyed for a long time.
Here are some tips for creating your self-care space.
- Small loveseats and large accent chairs can actually be very similar in size, and they can also be about the same price. If you have the space, use a loveseat to give you more space to curl up with your book or hobby.
- Choose a loveseat with tech features like built-in charging stations, LED reading or lap lights, and even massage features for the ultimate relaxation and break from reality.
- Music lovers should make sure that it is an option in the self-care space. A loveseat with built-in speakers might be out of your budget range, but a small, unobtrusive Bluetooth speaker can be very affordable. If you prefer, you can get Bluetooth headphones or earbuds, but if you can have the comfort of listening to your music without them so much the better.
- Movie lovers, people who like to binge-watch television shows, and gamers will do well to get a media chest that matches the rest of your bedroom furniture as well as the loveseat in the self-care corner. It is the perfect place to house your electronics and give you an adequate surface for your television of reasonable size.
