Create Your Sanctuary…


In our last blog we talked about various ways to redo the headboard to make it more of a visual centerpiece. In this blog we are going to talk about different ways to make your room a relaxing and calming pace to be without breaking the bank!

Pick the color!!!

Many people get stuck on what color to paint their room and for obvious reasons; the hundreds of options of paint swatches can be overwhelming! A simple way to narrow down your options is too simply determine if you are a morning or night person? Simple right? Well, if you are a morning person, consider warm tones for your bedroom, if you are a night person consider cooler colors.

Get the Focal Point Right!!!

The bed is the focal point of any room. Because of this make sure that you have the proper size bed to accommodate the size of the bedroom. For example, if you have a tiny bedroom, it may look a bit off to have a California King Size Bed in the room. However, if you feel that your bed is not the right size for the room, there are ways to visually alter the appearance. If you have a large bed in a small room, consider choosing a bedspread that doesn’t have a pattern. If you want to make your bed appear larger, look for a bedspread with a pattern.

Runway!!!

When rearranging the furniture in your room, make sure that you are creating a clear path on each side of the bed. Standard rule of thumb is that each path should be 24”.

Organization!!!

If your budget allows for it, invest in some special organizational products. These will allow you to de-clutter your room which will make it appear larger!
