Part of the excitement of taking a break is that feeling you get when you step into your hotel room for the first time. Just one night spent in the right hotel can lift your spirits, give you a great night sleep and even bring you closer to your partner.

If you have children at home, you’ll know how important it is to create a zone that is peaceful, tranquil and above all tidy! The bedroom is the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night. So it makes sense to create a place of luxury and class here. It might be worth reviewing Is It Practical To Create A Room Just For Relaxing In after reading this post.

You don’t need a huge budget to make a few changes to a bedroom. One of the most important things about this room is, of course, the statement bed.

Hotel beds are always dressed to impress. Think minimal when it comes to choosing your bedding. White sheets will entice you to crawl in. They look clean and calm. Adding a plethora of cushions may seem pointless when you’re just going to throw them off at bedtime, but every time you step into your room, you’ll feel a sense of pride. You might even start leaving the bedroom door open for your guests to see!

Hotels tend to offer a simple white dressing gown and the fluffiest towels you’ve ever buried your face into, this is probably why people often ‘borrow’ them!

Instead of cluttering up your dressing table with make up and cuff links, leave your surfaces bare placing a couple of neatly folded gems like these bath towels on show, perhaps with your favourite body lotion next to them.

A well upholstered chair. There is something wonderful about having a seemingly pointless chair in your room. However a chair placed by a window with a good book laid next to it always entices you to read and even if you don’t get the time, simply knowing it’s there will remind you of the relaxing peace a quiet read can give you. Try reupholstering and painting an old one.

Well hung, contemporary frames with large white mountings and photos of your fondest memories or things you love can have a huge impact on a room. Waking up in the morning to see your kids smiling back at you, kick starts your day the right way. Unlike a miss mash of slightly off centre frames. Be precise.

Finally, lighting. Lighting can change a room completely. Instead of switching on your ceiling light, invest in a statement lamp like these from Abigail Ahern. If your budget won’t stretch to that, consider something soft which creates an amber warmth. Place in the corner of your room and let it work it’s magic.

It’s time to see your bedroom in a new light. Make small, well considered changes. It’s not about impressing other people. It’s about impressing yourself. Lying in your bed, surrounded by luxury.  

When you’re looking to make a change or improvement to your home, new and modern furniture can sometimes provide a radical transformation!Aside from what’s hanging on the walls or lying on the floor, furniture is what defines your look and style—whether clean and minimal, comfy and rustic, hip and funky, industrial and cold, there’s a type of modern furniture and a home decorating plan for everyone. But besides getting that stylish new look, there are many other benefits to investing in new furniture—benefits that are sure to please you and the environment.

In case you didn’t know, there is something called “eco-friendly furniture.” This type of home furnishing is produced with organic fabrics, natural wood, and with BioPlushsoybean-based cushioning, made from seed-extracted oils that use much less petroleum-based fossil fuels to manufacture than those used in traditional foam furniture. Soy-based foam is also more resistant to UV degradation, emits less of an odour, has a consistent density and stability, and feels extremely natural. This is also known as “green seating,” if you’re in the market. Qualified and competent furniture dealers should also be committed to a recycling program to further reduce their carbon footprint. Environmentally friendly practices aren’t just the domain of particular industries and services; furniture manufacturers and retailers should both be equally invested in protecting our renewable resources and not damaging the planet.

 Once you’ve found a store, you can then always search the web for some decorating ideas. You could also use those images for ideas on just what to purchase.Purchasing a new sofa, love seat, sofa bed, recliner, ottoman, or all of the above can make a huge improvement to the value of your home. Redecorating does not have to be stressful or time consuming. Deciding on eco-friendly furniture and a company that produces beautiful furniture will change everything about your interiors. Be proud of where you live and enjoy the comfort of your new furniture that not only looks beautiful, but also supports and helps protect the environment.
