If not, here are some sug­ges­tions for mak­ing your bed­room into the area that gives emo­tional com­fort together with bod­ily comfort.

Your bed­room reflects who you are. Thus the first query is, how do you see your­self? Imag­ine your­self in numer­ous set­tings. Does ancient fur­ni­ture — clas­sic Queen Anne, Chip­pen­dale, 18th and nine­teenth cen­tury Euro­pean antique styles — give you a feel­ing of sta­bil­ity and con­ti­nu­ity? A cover or sleigh bed in rich cherry or mahogany, with Pach­a­bel enjoy­ing on the stereo hid­den in your carved armoire, might be the right roman­tic touch you’ve been seeking.

Per­haps the set­ting that pro­duces you are feel­ing warm and com­fort­able comes from coun­try fur­ni­ture — the rough-hewn rus­tic look or the dis­tressed fin­ishes of cot­tage styles. Homey fab­rics, like chintz, linen or denim, and acces­sories like hand­made quilts, needle­work pil­lows, rag rugs, and framed water­col­ors with out of doors themes may sup­port your vision of the per­fect place to relax and obtain a sen­si­ble night’s sleep.

The casual con­tem­po­rary look leans towards light glow­ing woods like maple or dra­matic items in dark stains like espresso. Clean lines on fash­ion­able designs, like Mis­sion fur­ni­ture, make for a sub­tle how­ever warm space. Japan­ese prints on the wall and flower arrange­ments in coloured glass vases might build this your favorite space in the house.

One step beyond mod­ern is the design of mod­ern fur­ni­ture for those who love the lin­ear style of retro, Art Deco, or an eclec­tic mix of styles. Mate­ri­als are straight­for­ward, and leather items work well. A lac­quered plat­form bed and low sleek pieces can mix well with bold colours and richly pat­terned rugs or bed­ding, or boast a assort­ment of black-and-white images on the wall.

What­ever calls your name, ambi­ent light­ing dur­ing a bed­room enhances the mood. Place a dim­mer turn on the most light­weight in the room, or think regard­ing lamps that goes on and off to a clap of your hands. Have a min­i­mum of one bright light­weight if you’ve got a “work” cor­ner in the bed­room that hosts a com­puter or project table, and a sen­si­ble read­ing light­weight close to your arm­chair or by the bed if you wish to read in bed.

To keep the peace­ful atmos­phere of the bed­room, hide TVs or com­put­ers in an armoire thus they’re not in view except when being used. Scented can­dles, recent flow­ers, and a lovely decanter to hold your drink­ing water are won­der­ful touches for any bedroom.

Cre­at­ing A Relax­ing Bedroom

The most nec­es­sary half of the bed­room is usu­ally ignored for too long. Is your mat­tress the right one for your back and for deep healthy sleep? Upgrade to a new pil­low­top or pre­sum­ably a big­ger size mat­tress for the final in bed­room comfort.

And if your bed­room haven is sim­ply too won­der­ful to go away in the morn­ing, how about putting in a “morn­ing bar” with a cof­fee maker and lit­tle refrig­er­a­tor? Break­fast in bed, anyone?
