LARGE , EIGHTEEN INCH MATTRESS SINK IN BEDS
The most important accoutrement in a bedroom is OFCOURSE a large king size beds or show stopper four poster antique bed is grand and luxurious, but with an eighteen inch mattress that allows you to sink into the soothing relief of unwinding away from cares is a luxury that nearly permeates the subconscious.

CREATING A COSY BOUDOIR
-THAT PRIVATE BEDROOM SITTING ROOM
A light armchair, an under- the- bed upholstered seater on castors that can be pulled out, a lazy boy, an interesting ottoman, a dramatic Jacobean day-bed , sofas, rocking chairs, or matching overstuffed loveseats prop this room up to have an elegant lounge within, furnished luxuriously like a private haven. —An inviting ambiance for an intimate tete-a tete with a spouse or even a sitting room like private space where one typically calls in a friend for tea or a movie.
WINDOW SEAT
A bay window or a cantilevered slab of stone out of the window using brackets beneath creates an additional window seat or a box window where you could spend some time ruminating or even reading a book, and this enlarges the space visually and literally along with adding to the elegance of the room. Incase this is not possible a languid lounge chair with a floor lamp and nearby tea table makes for a perfect Reading recess.
INTIMATE BISTRO
An intimate bistro table, set with two chairs, invites private conversations, is great for breakfast and just incase there is no space for a desk this is an interesting solution especially since very few people enjoy sitting in a regimented manner against a desk and working. That morning cup of tea with the newspaper propped on the table when I do not necessarily want to face the entire house early in the morning is a pleasure for me since I included it into mine! When one cannot have a complete round table in the room I also use a semi circular table against a wall.
MOVING ON
Dressing tables, accessorized with crystal and porcelain obsolete in the living room today add romance and bed trays suggest the chance of luxurious breakfast in bed, while soft lighting, candles, essential oils in a diffuser effectively complete the décor .
Art Gallery
Surround yourself with photos of people and places that conjure happy memories, things that bring joy to you, take you into a space of relaxing medative states, favorite artwork and meaningful mementos where you can contemplate and daydream.
Colors for your sanctuary
Good colors for private sanctuaries include dark folliage Greens, deep blues, Pinks, sky blues, sea greens and aubergine. Darker colors juxtaposed with light nature colors create a sanctuary like relaxation and assist in unwinding and sleep.
The Study
Within the bedroom installing a vintage roll top writing desk accompanied by a comfortable chair, induces journal and letter writing.
Mini Bar
A small refrigerator will make you feel as if you can enjoy your time in the bedroom without interruption, and a television offers the opportunity to watch your favorite movies and shows. Room-darkening window coverings also encourage deep sleep and aid in the restoration of your soul.
Petit Living Room in Bedroom

Chic chandeliers atop , fuscia sofas, crystal coffee table or matching overstuffed chairs help create the feeling of an oasis.
Maximize space, De Clutter and Dream
In “bursting at the seams” cities with small claustrophobic box like bedrooms, space saving , creativity and some ingenuity - Voila - a small space translates into a sanctuary to contemplate and daydream.
MIRROR'S
Locate mirrors in unusual places, such as the tops of dressers or side tables, to reflect dancing candle light. Tropical plants and trees, uplit with special lights, cast exciting shadows.
STORAGE, ACCESS
The master bedroom of retreat and relaxation is where everything must be close at hand, easy to access – neither cramped nor allowing a waste of space. Push-in pop-open cabinets that hold everything from CD’s to tools to shoes cut clutter and maintain order.
SHELVING
Fashionable shelving with good organizers and smart chunky drawers are important to hide the necessities, mail, stationary, mobile phones, and their bulky chargers in utilitarian racks, rustic baskets, and olden day medicine chests with multifarious compartments that can be pulled out for easy access.
The bedroom is the most personal of all the rooms in our home
Only you can decide which room works best as the main bedroom setting for you comfort and cossetting. But to revamp this room and make it more comforting and welcoming is actually creating for a better and more happy life on the whole!
