Setting Up your Bedroom to Give the Right Vibes

Your bedroom is the place where you spend your most private and cozy moments. It is the place where you start the day, and end it as well. How many times have you heard yourself repeat ‘looks like I got out of the wrong side of the bed today’? If a place has the potential to make or upset your entire day’s proceedings, you might as well as make it good and comfortable – why take a chance?

Does your bedroom face the sun or away from it? Whatever the feng shui enthusiasts may say (I don’t know, really – the art never enthused me enough), a simple fact is that a room that has the early morning sun’s rays streaming onto your bedroom furniture, is bound to fill your mornings with an energy unparalleled by anything else. If you are an early riser, you may be lucky enough to have a look at the rising sun. One look at the magnificent orange ball of fire and you will be so mesmerized by its sheer beauty and the energy it fills inside you that you will like to do it again, and again, and yet again. Not for nothing does the Indian art of Yoga have a special stance called the ‘Surya Namaskar’, or a salute to the rising sun. The ancients knew the energy of the rising sun and its inherent benefits, and learnt how to derive positive vibes from it.

The selection of your furniture has major implications in how your bedroom looks and feels. You could pick up a traditional double bed or a platform bed for your master bedroom. Did the furniture store salesman guide you to pick up a smart pair of matching side tables as well? If not, go for it now- the tables are extremely useful for keeping trinkets like your watch, jewelry, reading glasses, the book you’ve been reading before you go to bed etc. Use them to keep the night lamp and the glass of water you may need during the night or for your morning cuppa tea- the possibilities are endless.

I do hope you have catered for adequate space for comfortable moving around. If you are constrained by a smaller sized room, purchase modern bedroom furniture that is slightly smaller in size and allows you to set it up comfortably enough, leaving adequate space around it for free and unhindered movement. You wouldn’t like to keep crashing into the TV trolley in the middle of the night, would you?

Space permitting, use a good sofa set to provide some comfortable seating during times that you may want to chit chat and not sit on the bed (it may not be the most comfortable of places to ‘sit’ on). If the space available is less, you could go in for bedroom chairs. Though less comfortable than the former, they will also do the job admirably well. A chair set would cost considerably less as well.

A large mirror is an essential accessory to allow the lady to dress well and check her outfit before she steps out to receive the compliments of the world. While some people feel that a smaller mirror, or a mirror in the bathroom can well serve the same purpose, it is not actually so. Ask any lady where she’d like to dress up and you’ll have your answer.
