This week i was inspired to talk about bedrooms.  With busy lives full of family, friends and work, our bedroom is oftentimes the place we go to relax and escape everyday life. When done right, a bedroom can be a stress-free sanctuary full of soothing colors.  Trying to accomplish that and set that tone can be a challenge.

If you are thinking of redesigning your bedroom, be sure to consider what both you and your significant other prefer. Your bedroom is all about you, so don’t worry about using popular trends or what the it colors are today.  Figuring out your furniture layout is the biggest decision you need to make.  By the time you add dressers, nightstands, and a bed, your space can easily get crowded.  It’s important to figure out what layout gives you enough storage yet still leaves open space for you to move around comfortably without bumping into furniture.  That leaves you with finding a color scheme and decorations that reflect your personality.

I have included some photos of my favorite bedrooms.  All so different yet equally appealing, and designed with all the elements and principles of design in mind.
