Create Your Own Bedroom Sanctuary!
Creating Your Bedroom Haven Stop Thinking of Your Bedroom as just a bedroom! Create a bedroom sanctuary. Make it your own haven, a retreat! Your Master bedroom should be a place for romance, relaxation, sleeping, healing and a getaway from everyday stress. At the end of everyday, create a "mindset" that you are entering your sanctuary. However hard it may be, try to leave the day's worry's and stress on the other side of your bedroom door.
Basic Essentials You Must Have:
Bedroom Sanctuary Basic Needs: 1. A Very Comfortable Mattress. If your mattress is not comfortable, you can toss and turn all night sleeping restlessly. You wake up in the morning stiff, sore or achy. A really comfortable mattress should be your highest priority! I am amazed to see how many people can spend a great deal of money on a car and so little on a mattress! You need to have 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night in order to reach your full potential each day. If you have an uncomfortable mattress, see my mattress guide for tips on selecting a comfortable mattress and how to shop locally.

2. Get A Comfortable Pillow! Climbing into bed should feel good to you. Everyone has their own comfort level as far as pillows are concerned. Do you have a comfortable Pillow? If not, make it a priority to fit yourself properly. Go to a Sleep Shop where you can try different pillows before you buy one.
3. Luxury Sheets! Your sheets should feel really nice when you slip into bed. When selecting sheets, you have many choices in thread counts, textures and colors. Do you need winter sheets? Summer Sheets? Bedding should be decorative as well as comfortable!

Bedding: Duvets, Comforters and Pillows!
Creating your bedroom sanctuary can be one big "project" or an on going process of small projects, ideas and creative thinking. Every personal touch you add can make you feel more comfortable and able to retreat into your own inner-sanctum.
Decorative Bedding. Since the bed is usually the focus point of a bedroom, your bedding should reflect an ambiance that makes you feel good. Keep it simple or make it lavish!

Your Bedroom: Decorating with Color!
You may be tempted to decorate a bedroom in anything but quiet neutral colors and muted pastels. But if you thinking of redecorating your bedroom, go bold! Don't worry about impacting your bedroom with bold stimulating colors! First of all, it is only paint! You can go bold, create your sanctuary that pleases you! Use your imagination! After all, you can always repaint "boring" or "more conventional" if you decide to change homes!
