Redesigning and Redecorating a Bedroom
If you have a large enough room, a great deal can be achieved if you decide on redesigning or redecorating your master bedroom. In recent times, homeowners have seen the benefits of turning this room into more than just a room to sleep; for example, a reading room or just a place to relax. Following the French style of designing master bedrooms to have a more sensual feel seems to have become be more desirable in the last few years as we catch up with something they have been doing for many years.
This can be achieved with the use of certain colors that have a warm and emotional feel to them, associated with sensuality; pinks, reds and peaches all fall into this category. Of course to improve upon this and enhance the atmosphere further you will need the subtle use of mirrors and candles along with some beautiful tropical plants; I am sure you can see the appeal to this already. Candles are also useful but they need mirrors to enhance the reflections or you can add plants which will also provide the same effect.
The only other thing you will need to add is sufficient light to read by which could always be a reading lamp on a table next to the chair but make sure the lighting is not to strong or it will spoil the effect. Of course when you paint your reading room you will need to choose soft colors that are relaxing and reflect light without glare; colors like old world ivory, antique amber, sage green, or slate blue for instance. Redecorating and redesigning the master bedroom as a ’sanctuary’ is quite an easy redecorating project with only large pillows or cushions, a throw or two needed; with perhaps a landscape or seascape picture which can be reflected in a mirror to complete the conversion.
If your sanctuary is also a place where you intend to read then the addition of a comfortable chair and a reading lamp will be a simple matter. Of course when redecorating your master bedroom this way, pictures of your family (preferably in antique brass frames) should be placed around the room to provide a sanctuary like feeling. Colors that work well in private sanctuaries include navy or cobalt blues, deep chocolates, and forest greens as darker colors create a womb or cave like feeling and aid deep sleep.
If you have the space, a writing desk and television all contribute to the feeling of being able to shut out the world and luxuriate in your own private space. Some people even conceal a fridge in the room which would also give the feeling you were in a hotel suite but one designed to your own tastes. As you spend time redecorating your master bedroom in a way that reflects your lifestyle, it can be a worthwhile project and who knows, you may find yourself spending even more time in this often undervalued room.
