TURN YOUR BEDROOM INTO YOUR SANCTUARY
YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE HOME AGAIN…
If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing that lights up your soul more than the endless romance of travel.
The adventures that await your every escape. The joy of immersing yourself in a culture so foreign that you marvel at the sound of their words on your tongue, if you can even make the sounds at all. The stunning colors that merge together in one of their local markets in ways you never imagined, as sellers peddle their wares. The wonder of how the fabric of life that these incredible beings wove is so uniquely different from yours, and yet somehow, they are magically so similar to yours on the other side of the world.
And yes, as the sun sets, the fabulous anticipation of knowing you return to your incredible hotel after your grand adventures and your full day. Knowing that you get to drink in the stunning beauty of your exquisite surroundings and sink into that cloud-like cocoon of a bed that they prepared for you. And for a moment - just for a moment - you can pretend - that you never have to leave.
But what if that stunning, serene space was YOURS to come home to at the end of EVERY day?
What if that room was YOUR bedroom instead of just a hotel room on vacation?
A place where you could escape from the world and just feel instantly at ease?
A space where you could breathe?
Your Haven. Your Sanctuary.
It’s so deliciously beautiful that there is nowhere it in the world you’d rather be.
Would you want to create that magic?
Yeah, I thought so! Well, pay attention to these steps and you’ll be creating your own hideaway…
Use All Five Walls
Your fifth wall is your ceiling and it is one that people tend to ignore, but it can have a huge effect in how a room feels. A darker ceiling creates a warmer, cozier feel. A lighter ceiling and darker walls creates a more voluminous, expansive feel. Wall coverings can add so much dimension, interest and personality to your space and change the mood of your room entirely. A serene, textured wallpaper can be used throughout the space, while a bolder color or patterned wallpaper can be used as an accent wall (or ceiling) to make a statement. Create drama, serenity, tradition, refinement with wallpaper, fabric, wall paneling, wood designs, architectural details and more. The soothing, but moody space below is a very pale blue gray wall color used throughout the room, while all furniture and bedding were kept to a very pale color palette. Even the lighting was kept to a pale color palette, and were purposely chosen to have fabric shades. All these choices evoked a sense of calm and peace, to create a serene haven for this busy, single mom to escape to.
Now roll up your sleeves and let’s get to work shall we? Once you’re done, I want to see pictures of your gorgeous room and I want to hear stories of how you CANNOT wait to come home and dive like a seal into your fabulous bed!
