Your bedroom is the most private, intimate room in your home, and it's the place where you want to feel the most rested and nurtured. However you decorate it, it reflects your personality and style. You can choose for it to be invigorating or cozy, modern or fanciful, sassy or sophisticated. It's up to you. You can decide to make your bedroom an extension of nature by having greens and browns in your color scheme, by having bamboo and handmade papers for lampshades and bringing in potted plants. You can also decide to go "green" by using sustainable materials and earth-friendly decor, like bedding and window treatments that are made from organic cotton and pure vegetable dyes and paints that are low in volatile organic compounds. Take advantage of natural light and use blinds, many of which are made from natural materials, to maximize or dim the lighting in your bedroom. You can also use a variety of lamps, chandeliers and wall sconces to create the mood you want. The possibilities are endless, and the choices you make will help turn your bedroom into a reflection of you.
