I've got 5 months to plan and decorate a new bedroom... It won't be my ideal one because I'm too poor but it has me fantising about what I would really love...
Main colour scheme: Creamy with accents in Hot Pink and turquoise...
Bed: Four poster canopy in wrought iron with cream drape. Damask Doona cover and pillow cases in vanilla, with a raspberry fitted sheet and extra pillowcases.
Floor: Dark wooden floorboards with perhaps a carpet in creamy colours...
Walls: Different shades of neutrals. Van Gogh's Starry Night to hang on one wall (the original) (why not? It is a fantasy after all! :razz:) and one or two canvases with hot pink and turquoise imagery...
Other details: Lots of throw cushions in various textures in turquoise and hot pink...
Lots of light and big windows with organza drapes...
Lighting would be adjustable and flattering. Lots of lovely smelling candles in vanilla and other scents.
Must have a high ceiling! :smile: I love high ceilings...
I'd want either a bay window (compelete with window seat) and a view of the sea or beautiful french doors with stained glass details leading out to a little balcony overlooking a beautiful back garden...
Do share yours :smile:

A bedroom, with its links to sleep and dreams, intimacy or aloneness, is one of the most beguiling and mysterious rooms in the home. The bedroom is the first room we see each morning and the last space we see at night – it closes the circle of our waking life. It's a place which has to hold us through the night and keep us while we dream. Bedrooms are personal, highly personal. This is the room in which we are most likely to make love, to fantasise, to encounter our sensuality – to meet another human being at the most intimate level. But a good bedroom is also a solitary sanctuary, a place outside the hubbub of the house, a tenemos of private dreams and deep nurturing of the soul. With its domination over the unconscious part of our lives, you might argue the bedroom is the most important room in the entire home.
Yet, despite its importance, the bedroom is often neglected. We pay more practical attention to the “public” rooms of the house – those which our visitors will see, those which hold court over the waking hours. The bedroom gets pushed to the back. Hopefully this section of the website will encourage you to look on your bedroom in a whole new light. If you want to delve even further into this area, do check out my new book, Spirit of the Bedroom which gives more ideas – and lots of beautiful photographs (not my doing, I hasten to add).
Personally, my bedroom is probably my favourite room in the entire house. It's the room in which I am entirely myself. It faces east so in the morning the sun pours in through the windows and at night I can track the moon on the first half of its journey. House martens nest under the eaves and as I write this I watch their darting swooping returns – so fast you think they will crash into our windows.
I've kept the décor calm. The walls are a warm cream and the carpet a slightly darker mushroom. Slatted wooden blinds filter the light, creating dapples. Bright duvet covers and soft throws and cushions provide splashes of colour, depending on my mood. It's a calm, uncluttered space yet by no means minimal.
Next to my side of the bed is a small bookcase with my most favourite books for dipping into before sleep and on waking. My collection of goddesses gaze rather sternly from the mantelpiece and three small altars sit on the window ledges filled with my “soul” objects of the moment.
Curiously I find that the bedroom is a place in which I can fulfil my three major roles in life quite smoothly and without competition. I tend to go to bed before my husband and this early part of the night is “me” time. When the bedside lights are on the room is bathed in a soft yellow light and feels like a welcoming cocoon. I often find myself sneaking off early so I can sit and revel in the peace after a long day balancing work and the demands of a small busy child. I am alone in the nicest possible way. In archetypal terms, it's my Artemis time – wild, solitary, self-possessed, shy of company.
But light the many scented candles and it becomes a sensual retreat, a place of intimacy and closeness, of warmth and tenderness. Aphrodite comes out to play and the bedroom shifts focus.
Come morning, a small child squirrels himself into the middle of the bed and we all snooze companionably as the world comes to life outside. The bed becomes a ship, a space-craft, a nomad's tent, a cave. We share books and tell tales: it's precious bonding time before the onslaught of the hectic day. I find myself as Demeter, motherly and warm, embracing my family and revelling in their comfort.
These are my thoughts of bedroom. Yours will probably be quite different. But hopefully already you will be thinking about what you Let's look at how you might discover – and achieve – your desires.
