Bedroom

Your bedroom should be a pleasurable place to go and unwind at the end of a stressful day. A refuge from the outside world that makes you feel tranquil and relaxed. When designing a bedroom, remember that the finished design should create a positive and lasting impression.

The bed is the focal point of any bedroom. The bed size should be in proportion to the size of the available space. Relaxation matters the most. Therefore, a bed should offer quality, style and a feeling of rest. There are wide selection of beds available in various styles, including: simple frame; sleigh beds; four-poster beds; canopies beds; iron or brass beds and upholstered beds. Sizes include: Twin-Single; Twin X-Long; Double-Full; Queen, Standard-Eastern King (widest); California-Western King (longest). The bed is the most important feature in a bedroom  The right style and size can unquestionably make your bedroom into a inviting space.

Don't make your bedroom look cramped and untidy by over crowding it with too many pieces. The bedroom is your personal space and should be open and not claustrophobic. Some questions to ask to keep a bedroom uncluttered. Is a dressing table essential if a bathroom has a vanity? Do all your clothes have to be stored in the bedroom? Clothes that are seldom worn could be stored elsewhere, minimizing the need for wardrobes. Are bedside tables needed or will a shelf do? Must a computer desk be kept in the bedroom? Some sleep therapists indicate that the presence of a computer in bedroom can lead to sleep disturbance.

Sparingly, add a few special touches should be added to your bedroom that echo your unique style and interests. End tables or nightstands should be on either side of the bed for books, photographs, mementos and possibly a phone.

Lighting should be soothing and peaceful. For added impression, use valence lighting and colored lights for effects. Delicate light gives a romantic feeling to the bedroom, but a few spot lights are beneficial for detail work like reading.  Mirrors can also help to reflect light and give the room a larger feeling.

Certain color hues are soothing -- green for instance, the color of nature and is relaxing. Others colors are stimulating -- yellow, the color of sunbeams, is associated with joy. Being conscious of the emotional effects of color can be beneficial, but don’t let it curb your enthusiasm. If purple is your favorite color, don’t be shy to use it in your bed room. It may not suit other people's taste, but if you get pleasure from it and it enhances your mood, that’s what really counts.
