Bedroom Decor And Bedding
Designing the space in your home can be some of the most
rewarding work that you can undertake. Your decor can reflect
your spirit and style, and done correctly, it can speak to your
very soul.
The most intimate space, and perhaps the most important, is the
bedroom. Unfortunately, it is most often overlooked as it is not
regularly seen by visitors to your home. Too often the rooms
meant for entertaining guests take precedence over those
nurturing private havens.
Choosing the theme of the bedroom decor can vary as much as
personal style and depend upon the desired effect; calming or
stimulating, meditative or invigorating, an intellectual retreat
or a sensual hideaway. It is entirely up to you.
Beyond choosing the wall colors and furniture, you have
important considerations to make concerning the textiles: rugs,
pillows, and bedding. The sumptuousness of these will directly
affect the comfort of the room. The luxuriousness of sleeping on
fine linens can not be overstated. The bedding is one area that
you do not want to skimp on when you are furnishing your own
nurturing space.
To properly outfit your bed, you will need a substantial
mattress, a mattress pad, sheets, a blanket, a duvet or
comforter, and pillows. The pillows' firmness is entirely a
matter of personal preference, but be sure they are of adequate
number. The sheets, blankets, and duvet all provide an
opportunity to contribute to the overall decor of the room, as
well as to your physical comfort.
Some bedrooms' decor are built around a fabulous comforter's
pattern and/or colors, while others leave the bed linens to play
the role of accent pieces in the scheme. There is no right or
wrong answer here, but be sure that you do not fall into the
trap of purchasing something for its looks alone. These pieces
are to be functional as well. Too often people find themselves
sleeping, or attempting to sleep, on inferior quality. Your days
depend on your nights' rest - splurge on fine bed linens.
Remember that other than your comfort and peace of mind, there
really are no rules when it comes to creating your private
sanctuary. Make it your own.
