Bedroom Assessment

• Is this bedroom the private restful sanctuary you desire it to be?

  people to dress and move around comfortably?

• Besides sleeping, are there other activities you conduct there, such as reading, TV watching, talking on the telephone or exercising?

• If you like to have your coffee in bed in the morning, is there a convenient place to make it?

What would you like to have in your bedroom to make it a "Dream Room"?

Once you have finished thinking about and answering the questions above, you may be looking at your bedroom from a new point of view and come up with some exciting master bedroom decorating ideas. If you only use your bedroom for sleeping, you are missing out on a fabulous opportunity to create a personal retreat.

Just by moving a reading chair and a small table into the room you can create a cozy retreat from the demands and noise in other parts of the home.

If you like to have your coffee in bed in the morning as I do, set aside a space in the bedroom or the bathroom counter for a coffeepot.

Yes, yes, I can hear you now, "Are you crazy? Coffee in bed?" It is possible to wake up and start your day with a relaxing cup of coffee in bed. I know because I've done it for years and would never dream of starting my day any other way. Of course I have to get up at 4:30 AM to do this, but it starts my day off right and I never have that rushed, panic, crisis filled morning that many families go through. Oh, and just in case you think I live alone, I raised 6 children while doing this(which explains the 4:30 AM)

Don’t overlook green plants. They don’t belong only in the living room. It’s wonderful to wake up with the look and feel of nature surrounding you.

Think about your likes and dislikes. What small changes could you make to change your "sleep room" into a "Dream Room"?

Lighting is a major concern

In order to keep your both functional and comfortable, here are some master bedroom decorating ideas for lighting:

• If you can only sleep in perfect darkness, room darkening shades are a must
• Wall lamps or nightstand lights on each side of the bed are needed for comfortable bedtime reading
• If you use your dressing table for applying makeup, there are lights available that can switch from daylight, evening, and natural light.
• A great luxury in warm weather is a ceiling fan with light included
• Don't forget to put a lamp in your reading corner
• A large green plant or tree is impressive in the bedroom with some spotlight lighting or white lights threaded through it
• And last but not least, this is a bedroom and perhaps a room for romantic encounters. Nothing beats a dimmer for creating romantic ambiance

If there is any room in the home where you want peace and quiet, it it the bedroom. Not only is plush furniture luxurious and inviting, it is also sound deadening. Heavy draperies, carpeting, pillows, and comforters, all combine to help dull sounds and keep the room quiet and restful.

If you have wall to wall carpeting, a great master bedroom decorating idea is to place area rugs over the traffic paths to keep the carpet cleaner and longer lasting. It is much less costly and an easier job to clean small area rugs rather than an entire room.

The bedroom is the perfect place for the things you love

We all have items that have great meaning for us. They anchor our soul, touch our heart, and generally make us feel good. Perhaps they are too personal to display in the living room or other public parts of the home, so you have them stashed away in a box in the attic.

Maybe it's a favorite doll, the baseball you caught on that perfect day your dad brought you to your first game, photos you love but feel they are too personal to display, or some other type of memorabilia.

What are the favorite things comfort and please you? Maybe you have some great photos of your grandparents or your wedding invitation in antique frames. Perhaps you have a collection of perfume bottles or a collage of a favorite time in your life.

This is the room to display those wonderful parts of your life. They remind you of people and events that made you the wonderful person you are. Bring these items out into the light of day and let them lighten your mind and spirit.

Fragrance plays a part in the master bedroom

Many people love and appreciate smelling fragrance as they enter a room. No where does fragrance play a greater part than in a bedroom. (Of course, we can't rule out the kitchen here)

Here are some master bedroom decorating ideas you can use to incorporate fragrance:

• Place potpourri in decorative containers
• Scented candles are always a staple you can use
• Place scented soap in clothing draws
• Hang scented soap or potpourri balls in closets
• Use a decorative fogger and add scent to the water
• Arrange fresh flowers in a beautiful vase
• When going on vacation, place fabric softener sheets between the bedding to keep the bed fresh during your absence

Remember the Golden Rule of Decorating

When you are looking for master bedroom decorating ideas, remember the Golden Rule: It's your room and you don't have to please anyone but yourself and the person sharing your room if you have someone.

If your idea of comfort, is an eiderdown pillow and comforter, or a high tech entertainment center with a remote control operated from the bed, than that is where you should place your priorities.

This is your personal getaway. Make this room a haven where you can escape to relax and rejuvenate. Please yourself and you can't help but have great enjoyment in a great environment.
