Creating a Bedroom Sanctuary

You can create a bedroom that meets more than just your need for sleep if you take your emotional needs into consideration when designing the space.

Beds and Enclosure
You can create a personal sanctuary by enclosing a bed with canopies of luxurious fabrics. You can get a sense of secure enclosure by completely surrounding the bed with canopies and testers which were originally used to keep out drafts. You can get a suggestion of enclosure through the use of either partial canopies or both a headboard and a footboard on your bed frame. The benefit of a partial enclosure is that you still have view of the room. You can get comfort by the almost womb like environment created by a footboard.

Of course some people will prefer the openness they feel without any obstructions or clutter in their sleeping space. Take some time to figure out what will make you most comfortable and secure: totally enclosed by layers of fabrics, partially enclosed with a headboard and footboard, or totally open without any enclosure.

There are some options when it comes to the foot of the bed. Rather than a footboard some people may prefer to have a love seat, bed footrest, or a padded chest at the end of the bed. These options will give you added seating or storage as well as a partial enclosure.

Bed Dressings
You can create a romantic environment with black satin sheets, as well as help block out light that could disturb your sleep in the morning. Another great color choice for bedding is forest green as it imparts a feeling of peace and serenity. You can capture the luxury of a fine hotel by using white cotton sheets with a high thread count. There is nothing quite as soothing as a cool white cotton sheet on a hot summer night. To make it easier for you to make the bed you should replace your comforter and dust ruffle with a bedspread that reaches the floor.

Don’t worry about filling your bed with extra pillows. Their only real function is to create clutter and more work when making the bed.

You can create a bedroom that meets more than just your need for sleep if you take your emotional needs into consideration when designing the space. You will end up with a space that is comfortable and joyful.
