Your bedroom is perhaps the most important room in your home. It's the place where you sleep, so it's important for it to be a relaxing environment.

You also want it to be arranged in a practical manner so you can move around the space as you go through your daily routine. It's easy to create a beautiful room without sacrificing your personal style. Here are a few tips you can follow to arrange your bedroom furniture in an appealing and functional way. screen-shot-2017-01-04-at-12-14-49-pmTraditionally, folks tend to place a double, queen-sized, or king-sized bed against the centre of the wall opposite the main door to the room. With this arrangement, the headboard is the centre of attention as you enter the room. If the dimensions of your room prevent you from positioning your bed on the wall across from the door, other possible choices depend on which walls are long enough to accommodate the bed. Diagonal placement works well when you have the space. Do not place a bed under a window, if the window will frequently be open. Open windows can create uncomfortable drafts. Positioning a bed between two windows, however, works well. Consider nontraditional furniture arrangements if doing so will free up space or use space in a more interesting way.

MASTER BEDROOMS

A master bedroom doesn’t have to be huge, but it does need to offer the amenities you need. If your space is less masterful than you’d like, look at some of the following suggestions for decorating your bedroom:

● Make the bedroom look larger by eliminating clutter. ● Use only necessary furniture. If you can, push a chest of drawers into a walk-in closet to free up floor space. ● Keep the bed visually low. Use a headboard, but don’t use a footboard, and opt for something other than a four-poster bed, all of which tend to take up space visually, making the room seem smaller. ● Keep all your furniture — like the rest of your colour scheme — light. ● Light coloured furniture, walls, floors, window treatments, and bedding make a room seem bigger.

TEEN BEDROOMS

Teenagers usually know what they want in a bedroom and aren’t slow to tell you that they need storage for books and music and space for their collections of just about anything you can name. They have firm ideas about style and colours, so ask!
