Personal Sanctuary Bedroom Makeover
Perhaps you'd rather turn your main bedroom into a
personal retreat, where you can escape and unwind from a
busy day. Surround yourself with photos of friends,
family, and places you love, as well as your favorite
artwork and meaningful mementos.
Don't crowd your bedroom. Under-furnished private
sanctuaries give you the space to contemplate and
daydream. Rooms with few accessories take less time to
clean.
Good colors for private sanctuaries include dark
Forest Greens, deep Chocolates, Mochas, Navy or Cobalt
Blues, and Eggplant. Darker colors create a womb-like
feeling and aid deep sleep.
A writing desk, accompanied by a comfortable chair,
induces journal and letter writing. 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 encourage deep
sleep and aid in the restoration of your soul. The same
goes for dark sheets and pillow cases which reflect less
light.
Environmental Psychology tips: Use natural fabrics
and earth colors.
Makeover your master bedroom into your private
sanctuary and restore your soul!
