Creating the Perfect Bedroom

It has already been proven that most couples who share a beautiful bedroom free of clutter and everyday life has a much more satisfying relationship. A bedroom should be one of solace and ambiance. It should reflect out sensual side. The colors, patterns and textures and smells can keep intimacy intimate, all the time.

Lets face it life will stress you enough, bedtime should be about intimacy, rest, good sleep in that order. How relaxed can we be when our bedroom is full of extra furniture that belonged to Aunt Bee, Loads of laundry to be done, a desk full of junk and bills you don't even want to open. Along with the clutter, reminder of bills, and of course those car parts. Gym equipment is also a non-essential unless it is compact. Your clothes will end up hanging from it anyway. Get all that junk out of your bedroom and let some stress relief in.  A TV in your bedroom can have it's advantages and disadvantages.  If it is used correctly,  entertainment can bring pleasure and relaxation to both partners.  That means ball games only if both agree.  Don't let it be a distraction.

Music is a must.  An evening behind closed doors in a beautiful getaway with Pear Glace' candles from Victoria's and your choice of music whether it's classical, Pink Floyd or Elvis.  It sets the tone.

If you are going to redecorate your bedroom, get rid of as much clutter as possible. Those Christmas bags you were saving since last year, shoes you will never wear. The possibilties are endless.  Give it to charity, put in the attic or use containers for smaller places. 

Never use bold colors, they make the room appear to be smaller and it is not relaxing, choose a neutral color or eggshell. Never Wallpaper your entire bedroom, it draws the focus away from the beauty you surround it with.  If you do prefer a bold color as I, use it as an accent.   

Most of my adult life i can always remember wanting a black and white bedroom with a splash of red or Victorian Lace.

Lots and lots of candles, especially pear glace'.

Black and white work together like the yin and yang, white seeks for attention while black is aggressive. Throw in a a little red for passion.

Here are some pics of my fantasy bedroom, haven't gotten there yet but one day...

 I haven't yet to find a perfect picture of my perfect bedroom, here are some ideas I have been throwing around.   I still prefer black and white with a little red. 

So, what does your bedroom look like?  cluttered or shuttered?
