Your bedroom is probably the most sacred place in your home. It’s the one space that’s all yours, where you can retreat to after a long day for rest and relaxation.
Here are some of the things you should have in your bedroom, apart from the bed of course.
1. The right amount of throw pillows
It should be enough pillows on your bed so that it looks cosy and inviting when properly made, yet not enough that getting in bed requires 15 minutes of rearranging and evacuation. The sweet spot is usually between one to six, depending on the size of your bed.
2. A place to sit
A good spot to sit down will serve you well when you're putting on shoes, reading, doing your litte one's hair, quickly checking your emails or other things you don't want to bring to bed with you.
3. A comfortable rug
Your first step into the day should be warm and comforting. If you already have carpet in the bedroom but it’s not enough, consider layering a smaller, fluffy rug by the bed.
4. The things you love
You don’t have to cluster up your room with countless pieces and accessories, but adding a few pieces that make you smile will go a long way in making a bedroom feel just right. This is also a great way to incorporate pieces you’ve collected over the years but can’t quite figure out where to put them. Make sure they’re in your line of sight upon waking up to start your day off in the best way.
5. Photographs - but not of family
You should have as many family photos as you wish in other rooms in the house, but it's best to keep the bedroom's artwork less personal. Elegant and calming photographs evoke good feelings much like family snaps do.
