DESIGN OF A BEDROOM | ARRANGEMENT

The bedroom is the perfect place at home for relaxation and rejuvenation. When considering the design of your bedroom, it’s important to keep in mind both aesthetics and functionality. Before buying furniture for your bedroom, you need to decide some factors like wall colour and the type of flooring that you want. Try to choose a colour that will help you create a calm atmosphere and also compliment well with your bedroom furniture.

BEDROOM LOCATION:

The bedroom is a private space used for rest, relaxation, reading, writing, working, listening to music, convalescing, sleeping, phoning etc. Hence there is a need for privacy, quiet and peace. It should also be well lit and airy and preferably be near some green garden etc as the oxygen released by plants is rejuvenating. It should be away from the noisy parts of the house and the rooms where guests are entertained. To get some tips on the best location for Bedrooms, go to:
