How to Achieve Your Special Bedroom Retreat

Make it a Bedroom Just for You! 

• Your bedroom should be a special place.

• This should be the most relaxing room in your home.

• A great place to unwind after a hectic day.

• Follow our bedroom design guide for your retreat. 

   Your Bedroom Plan . . .

• Consider all options before placing your bed. It will be the focal point of your room since it's the largest furniture piece.

• It can make a major statement in the room, especially with a dramatic headboard and exquisite bedding.

• Allow for additional furniture pieces as space permits for clothing and other storage. Don't forget there's always the closet.

• Adequate organization will maximize the use of your space.

   Include All Your Favorite Things! . .

• Incorporate favorite colors, objects, and accessories. Everything special to you in your bedroom. 

• Using your favorite items can be relaxing and comforting. This creates your own private sanctuary, your exclusive place.

• Start with your favorite color and style of furnishings. 

• Make it your own special space. Include items that say comfort and relaxation.  This is your place to exhale.

   Use Cool Color Tones . . .

• What do I like to do in your bedroom? 

• Do I like to watch TV in bed, or banish it to other parts of my home?

• Would I like a cozy nook to read or perhaps knit? 

• Consider the view from a seating space, the angle of the television, adequate lighting for certain activities, reading, etc.

• Is there enough space for seating? A pair of comfy chairs or a chaise would be perfect. If space permits maybe grouping that includes a small sofa or settee. 

• A fireplace in the sitting area creates a cozy space, especially in fall and winter. Select beautiful furnishings, comfortable seating, and a very good mattress.  A TV or not, it's your personal preference.
