Mirror, wardrobe for a beautiful bedroom

Dresser and storage
Most astrologers and space consultants will tell you that a mirror in front of your bed is inauspicious. So, the designers now eliminate the need of an individual dresser and incorporate the full-length mirror inside the wardrobe. In case you have a space for a dressing room just before the bathroom, then you can add a nice dresser to the space.

Your bedroom is your haven, make it special.

Creating a niche for oneself in each room is a triumph of one's personality. Your bedroom is your haven, an extension of your individuality, stamped by your tastes, indulgences, personal preferences and comfort. A well planned bedroom effectively enhances space and colours. It can even alter the mood of individuals and rooms. So adapt the eye to varying experiences and enjoy the changes of one's own personalised setting that forms the hallmark of your cozy nest. Elegant, simple and comfortable, make the master bedroom your favourite retreat.

Airconditioner in bedroom, some tips

Air conditioner

It is imperative to maintain the right temperature for your prescribed eight hours of sleep. Keep the filters of your air conditioner clean to avoid dust allergies and service it regularly. It is advisable to keep plants out of the bedroom. They release carbon dioxide that we can do without. Also, research has indicated often times that it is not healthy to have gadgets like the TV or cell phones around, while you sleep.

Side table side chairs for bedroom

A little glass table top with a couple of cushioned poofies or modas in a cozy corner of your bedroom, preferably facing the blue skies and the greens could make this an ideal place to have your morning tea.

Imagine not smiling to yourself while looking at your wedding or honeymoon pictures or even snaps of your toddler. The nostalgia immediately transports you to happier times and your mood is eased for the night or day ahead. The bedroom is the ideal setting to either have blow-ups or place little pictures in pretty frames by your bedside.

Coir, combination or foam, get a perfect mattress for your bedroom

Use approved varieties - coir, or a combination of coir and foam. Go in for branded ones as the cost is worth the investment. One has a varied range to choose from in bedspreads and curtains - lacy, see-through curtains, or heavy drapes that keep the sunlight out during summer afternoons or even organza in all its vibrant colours. Heavy layers of drapes helps in keeping sounds low and in colder climes acts as a good insulator.
Bedspreads and quilts in sparkling tones and exotic designs are a must. Patchwork or embroidered patterns in shades of blues, greens, or even a stunning combination of black and gold, will add pizzazz to the room. Satin or even velvet sheets help in adding that extra touch of class.

Color scheme for bedroom, get engerised

Colour scheme

Pale colours like beige, pink, mauve, greens, put you at peace; whereas the ones on the other extreme of the palette like reds, oranges, yellows, purples, energise you. At the end of the day, it is a matter of personal choice of what look you prefer. There are no rules here, just go by your imagination.

Why wardrobe important for a beautiful bedroom setting

Wardrobe
Choose between metal cupboards or the built-in wood wardrobe. A young interior designer had inherited metal cupboards from her parents. She jazzed it up by painting abstracts in zany, whacky colours and that has become the highlight of her one-bedroom apartment.

Perfect lighting for a comfortrable bedroom

Recessed lighting, especially near the windows, at two extremes of the room under pelmets, lends a romantic touch to the curtains, creating a dramatic effect. Localised lighting creates little spaces for oneself, highlighting the use of colour in the room. Avoid using tubelights, instead use lamps - big, small, wall brackets, lanterns, and antique-looking pieces or even convert an artifact with a shade to match. Adjustable reading lamps come in various styles and metal finishes to complement the decor.

The use of a dimmer serves functional as well as aesthetic considerations. Uplighters in wall-mounted fittings serve as beautiful accompaniments to other accessories strewn over the bedroom.
