There are a number of different items that make up a bedroom, of course the key element to any bedroom is the bed as the name of the room suggests. There are however other items of furniture that can turn a regular bedroom in to a sanctuary – a place where you can relax, rest and unwind. It doesn’t have to cost a lot either, you simply need to know which pieces of furniture are key to creating the right ambience.

A chair in the bedroom is a very good place to start. Think about all of the hotels that you have ever stayed in and you are sure to remember that they all had chairs in them. Bedroom chairs are not like regular chairs though, in that more often than not they are more compact than a regular living room chair. Having a chair in your bedroom gives you an ideal place to sit and read and just creates a nice ambience.

The other piece of furniture that can create a nice atmosphere in any room is a room screen. You don’t even have to use the screen for any practical purpose, if you just have one propped up in the corner of the room it will transform the whole look and feel of the room completely.

The final item needed to create a sanctuary is not a piece of furniture; it is in fact more of an appliance. Lighting is the most important feature in creating the right ambience in any room, but particularly the bedroom. It also happens to be the most low cost and easy to install option. Having a couple of bedside lamps will give a wonderful soft lighting to any room. You may also want to look for a floor standing lamp which will give another source of light in the room. The key to good lighting design for the home is to have multiple sources of light so that it creates pools of light.

If you adhere to these three ‘rules’ when creating the idea room, you can’t go too far wrong in creating a relaxing space to be.
