Avoid bright colors like orange. Bright colors won't induce you to sleep. Neutral, pastel and warm colors are best suited for bedrooms.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● If you are starting your interiors from scratch, you can start by choosing fabrics first and base the color of you wall from it, then you can select furniture that compliments the color of walls and the fabrics that you are going to use.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● Save on expensive wall decor, go through magazines, art books or even your child's art work at school and have the picture framed. Not only will you save, you will have a unique picture that is not found on commercial home decor stores.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● Consider an extra cabinet or storage space inside your bedroom or den, they are areas that usually invite clutter. It is important to always have your room neat and clutter free.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● Use warm flooring on bedroom floors like wood and carpet. Don't use ceramic tiles, marble or granite on bedroom floors. It is not pleasant to get out of bed in the morning and step on a cold floor. If a cold flooring material is already installed, put an area rug beside the bed.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > </span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > If you can, use the same fabric, design and color of the bedcovers as with the curtains. The room will have that "Interior Designed" look.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● If your room is small, use mirrors on the walls. It gives the room an illusion of space (If you are a Feng Shui believer, see the tips on mirrors).</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● For bedrooms and specially dens, put an exhaust fan on the ceiling or wall farthest from the window. It will suck-in the cold air outside and keep the air inside the room fresh and cool. This can even save you electricity bills by not using your air conditioner during cool months.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● Some of us wants our bedrooms to be dark even late in the day specially when we sleep late. Thus some of us put up very dark curtains. Deep colored curtains against a light colored wall comes very strong. It is better to have your walls a shade darker and the curtain a little lighter to lessen the contrast. An alternative is to use two layered curtains instead one that is very dark.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● Aside from the typical center light on the middle of the ceiling, use lampshades, pin lights and up lights for mood lighting. These type of lighting gives dark and light patterns of light in the room.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● 1/3 of you life is spent on your bed. Invest in a good mattress, pillows and cotton or linen sheets -they absorb perspiration better.</span><br /></div><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=" ;font-family:Trebuchet MS,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:85%;" > ● The bedroom is your private space, among all rooms in your home, your bedroom's look and atmosphere should be the most relaxing and reflective of your personal taste and style.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 0pt;"> </div><a href="http://latest-interiordesign.blogspot.com/"><br /><img alt="The image “http://st.houzz.com/simages/26704_0_8-7536-contemporary-living-room.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/26704_0_8-7536-contemporary-living-room.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out; height: 524px; width: 350px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.hypevilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Most-Beautiful-Living-Room-Interior-Design-Ideas-with-Pictures18.jpg" src="http://www.hypevilla.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Most-Beautiful-Living-Room-Interior-Design-Ideas-with-Pictures18.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in; height: 350px; width: 350px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://wb4.itrademarket.com/pdimage/69/587469_scan_0051.jpg" src="http://wb4.itrademarket.com/pdimage/69/587469_scan_0051.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in; height: 351px; width: 351px;" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://www.yossawat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/turn-of-the-century-modern-by-jessica-helgerson-2.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://www.yossawat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/turn-of-the-century-modern-by-jessica-helgerson-2.jpg" style="height: 421px; width: 350px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://www.yossawat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/turn-of-the-century-modern-by-jessica-helgerson-3.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://www.yossawat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/turn-of-the-century-modern-by-jessica-helgerson-3.jpg" style="height: 259px; width: 351px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="The image “http://www.yossawat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/turn-of-the-century-modern-by-jessica-helgerson-6.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." src="http://www.yossawat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/turn-of-the-century-modern-by-jessica-helgerson-6.jpg" style="height: 258px; width: 350px;" /></a></div>
