Create Your Own Personal Sanctuary - Easy Tips to Design a Bedroom Retreat
As the space in which we sleep ? and start and end our days ? the bedroom is easily the most personal room in our homes.
For too many people, the bedroom is functional space, often the last room in the house to be decorated. But with the right planning and d?cor, it can become a personal sanctuary that calms, centers and energizes.Davis Remignanti, Furniture.com's lead design consultant, offers these easy design tips on how to transform even the most traditional "sleep space" into an instant personal getaway:- Get away from it all:
Start by thinking "Sanctuary" and begin designing a true retreat with a focus on your favorite pastime.
Whether you love to paint, read, exercise, or listen to music, dedicate a space to doing what you love best.
Don't crowd your activity ? provide the desk space, storage, or comfy seating that it requires.
Let the rest of your room design flow from your interest center.

At the end of the day, the bedroom is about sleeping, and your bed is where you likely spend around a 1/3 of each day.
Since a good night's sleep will make all the difference tomorrow, consider upgrading your mattress, adding a pillow top style, or simply adding fresh new bedding.
Then, stretch out and relax.
- Shun the distractions:
Escape from the world by hiding away your larger electronics ? television, stereo components and computer ? in an armoire that provides easy access to your media channels (and the outside world) when you want them, but is even easier on the eyes when you don't.- Showcase your passion(s):
If you love it, let it show.
When redecorating, resist the impulse to pack away your mementoes.
Instead, look for opportunities to showcase the souvenirs and photos of what you love to do and the people you love to be with. A true retreat is not just a getaway, but also a celebration of your passions.- Look up:
Don't forget your vertical space.
Carry your retreat design theme into the third dimension by updating your walls with a fresh new color or border. You can also put them to work:
Walls are an underutilized resource ? examine where you can add much-needed shelving and storage options.
Finish by adding a new piece of artwork to complete your theme.- Lighten up your outlook:
Any room makeover calls for a fresh look at lighting.
Survey the room as a whole as well as specific task needs.
The lighting requirements in your new activity area will differ greatly from your dressing and your sleeping areas.
For extra convenience ? as well as added ambiance ? consider putting your primary lights on a dimmer switch.- Feel groovy: When accessorizing, feel the energy of Feng Shui and ensure good health by following the practice originated in China of honoring the environment ? indoors.
Where possible, introduce water, wind chimes, color and crystals into your design.

Contemporary Bedroom Furniture
Contemporary Bedroom Furniture is the perfect fit for modern homes, as it has been designed for functionality as well as comfort. The Bedroom Furniture includes stylish dressers as well as mirrors, nightstands and bedroom benches. What sets contemporary furniture apart from traditional furniture is that the latter consumed a lot of space and was quite elaborate in design, whereas contemporary furniture makes the best possible usage of space.
The material that is usually used in Contemporary Bedroom Furniture is wood or metal, especially aluminum. You can choose from a range of styles and colors that are available on the market.
The products have been designed to make an optimum usage of the space. Thus, you can come across a set of drawers fitted with a seat on top, that serves as a bench and as a storage space. Then there are armoires that cannot only take good care of your clothing and accessories, but also doubles as storage space for your TV.

My Room by My Gym Introduces Fine Children's Furniture to Last a Lifetime
(ContentDesk) October 23, 2005 -- My Room by My Gym is a furniture line built around the concept of providing children with exquisitely crafted furniture made with the highest standards and scaled down to fit a childs environment.
This concept is the result of a collaboration between My Gym, the leader in childrens fitness and Vastarea Designs, who has been responsible for creating distinguished furniture for retailers such as Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma and Restoration Hardware.Childrens fitness is more than just physical; it is emotional and intellectual as well.
This is the reason My Room by My Gym decided to produce natural hardwood furniture with rich finishes, classic timeless shapes and accessible sizes rather than trendy, brightly colored, temporary furniture, emblazoned with characters, that will be appreciated only about as long as the latest toy.We believe that beautiful, well-built furniture made from real wood in aesthetic designs will not only add...

Not only should one?s bedroom be a refuge, but it should also be a sanctuary!
A bedroom is more than just a place to sleep. It is an escape from our hectic everyday lives. Not only should one's bedroom be a refuge, but it should also be a sanctuary. Creating such a place isn't as difficult as it may seem. Although there are many decorating and design aspects involved, placing particular emphasis on your bedroom will improve every aspect of your life.
You'll be able to relax much more quickly at the end of the day, and getting up in the morning won't be quite as much of a chore.
If you are lucky enough to begin with an empty bedroom, carefully consider the look you would like to achieve. As was stated earlier, you want to create a space you feel comfortable in, but what exactly does comfortable mean for you? Some people feel most relaxed in a bedroom with soft tones and large furniture and accessories. Perhaps you long for a huge four-poster bed covered in an array of fluffy pillows. Similarly, others feel more at ease in a brightly colored...
