Many people are choosing to move abroad, whether this be part-time for a holiday home or full-time during retirement or for a change. Spain is a frequently chosen destination because of its incredible food, warm temperatures, and interesting cities and beaches. Many people moving to Spain will have come from somewhere which is not as hot, meaning there will be a bit of an adjustment period to the heat. It is important to design your house and particularly your bedroom appropriately, to make sure that your dream bedroom is not only beautiful but practical. These are some things you must consider:

Buying Comfortable, Good Quality Furniture

Buying comfortable furniture seems like an obvious one, but many people do not read reviews properly or look at the various options before purchasing and end up disappointed. Having comfortable and good quality furniture initially may involve spending more money, but it will not need to be replaced as often, so ends up saving you a lot. This is also the more sustainable option and will create less waste.
Buying a nice double bed frame is essential and will make your sleeping experience much more pleasant. Consider what you require from a bed frame – what kind of headboard do you like? Do you prefer metal or wood? Another great thing to invest in is a good quality TV stand, which will let you kick back and relax, comfortably watching television without craning your neck before going to sleep.

Keeping Your Room Cool And Aired Out

The Spanish heat can be intense, both during the day and at night and you absolutely do not want it to prevent you from resting well. Therefore, you should do your best to keep your room cool and aired out where possible. This may involve having a minimalist design with a light color, which will make it feel light and airy.
Additionally, having some good fans will be an absolute lifesaver – there is nothing worse than a stuffy bedroom. You could even have a roof fan installed if you want the maximum comfort and want to avoid the hassle of aiming your fan at your bed each night.

Buying Good Quality Curtains

Many people living in Spain take a siesta, which allows people to rest during the heat of the day. This is a schedule that may be initially hard to adjust to, but it will be more convenient if you follow the habits of the locals, as this often determines the opening times of shops and local businesses. However, this means you will need some good quality curtains to keep out sunlight during the heat of the day and allow you to rest. Getting some blackout curtains will be your best bet – these will make it feel like it is night time even during the middle of the day.
Living in Spain will give you an incredible lifestyle and will allow you to fully immerse into the culture, in a way that is more in-depth than simply seeing it for a week during a vacation. Ensure your house and bedrooms are comfortable and you will be living the dream!
