Essentials of a Well Designed Bedroom

A wonderful bedroom is a retreat, a place to relax and unwind from the day.   The day is over, you change, climb into bed, look around and your whole body can say, ahhhh.  You are safe, comfortable and ready for a good night’s sleep.  There are a few things we can do to enhance the comfort and relaxation aspects of the bedroom, but none are more important than the essentials to a well designed bedroom. Nothing is worse when you get out of bed and your feet are met with a cold hard floor.  It’s too much of a shock to the system.  I was surprised a few years ago when a well known hotel revamped their guestrooms with limestone floors.   A mistake on many levels but, oh was that a rude awakening.

Here are some inspiration bedrooms to get your creative ideas flowing.  White seems to be a common theme.  They also all feel quite effortless.  Each room has a distinct personality with an underlying theme of tranquility.  Just what we want in a bedroom.
