Plans for New Bedroom

I’m excited by the plans hubby has made for the construction of a new bedroom for us. Since we’ve renovated our ground floor last year to make way for Ruth’s debut we haven’t planned where to construct our new room. Our old bedroom was removed and turned into a new dining area which was suggested by my brother since it has a not-so-nice vibration. It was found out that it stands on an old septic tank and according to Feng Shui it should not be made a sleeping area as the area should be open to invite a good ambiance. True enough blessings came pouring in when the old room was removed and now the open room seems very cool and has a friendly ambiance. 

Now we’re eyeing the area at the top of our kitchen since it’s the only area in the house with no upper floor. We’re going to save for slab and hopefully we’re going to start the construction next year. Since it’s a big area we’re planning a big room with extra space for my growing up boy’s musical instruments. He really wanted a separate room for the instruments so we’re saving some space for his request. Lately he’s been looking frequently at an online shop for piano music and for some of his most wanted musical accessories and instruments, wondering when he can buy some of the stuff there. Well for now he can’t buy all those things but maybe in the next few years we can invest on some.

This is such a lovely thing for those who want to sleep for long hours. I remember myself working for three days with only one or two hours break each night and I mumbled to myself that I have a chance to have a vacation I would sleep for as long as I want.

Staying Safe In Bed

Bed rails are ideal for those who are elderly and need to stay in a bed for safety issues or for those who are confined to a bed because of an injury or illness. There are various kinds of bed rails to purchase. Some of them are secured to the bed and don’t move while others swing away from the bed to make it easier for the person to get out. These are something to look into for someone who is able to get up and down with limited help. 

A benefit of a bed rail is that it can help provide safety for someone who doesn’t need to be walking in the home alone. They provide the support that someone needs to get out of bed so that they don’t fall. If you are caring for someone, bed rails are a way for you to have the stability needed to help them get up instead of relying solely on your legs and back for the strength to move them. The rails can give an independence for those who feel like they are confined to a bed all day and night since it does help them get up and down. Learn more here about types of rails.

5 Stylish Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Are you searching for a way to breathe new life in that most important of rooms, the bedroom? There are a host of simple changes you can make that will revitalize your space, creating a haven that will be the envy of all others. Get a good start with the following five.

Play with Color

You can really make a splash when you change your color scheme. Go bold or tone it down. One way to dress your bedroom with flair is to use different hues, making each wall a bit darker than the last. You can also choose a theme, such as a seaside décor. You could go with shades of beige or create a glory of a sunset in pale pinks with a sky of blue above. Get playful, remembering to mix and match your bedding, pillows, and curtains to make the room have character.

Give Your Dresser Some Trimmings

Consider giving your dresser a new look by adding wall paper to your dresser drawers or an interesting paint design that can be easily achieved with stencils. If you don't want to do anything dramatic to existing dressers that are too expensive to modify, go bargain shopping. Look at rummage sales and second-hand shops for that great buy that is begging for a make-over! Take it a step further and change the knobs on your dresser, transforming something plain into a dazzling work of art.

Organise Your Space

The bedroom should be free of clutter. Organisation is a great way to achieve that goal. Add shelves, cabinets, or a chest at the foot of the bed for convenient storage. Attractive baskets that are covered in fabric can enhance the décor in the bedroom and provide more options for keeping the place tidy. Take a look around. Are there too many mementos filling every surface? Try cutting back and see how simplifying can enhance the atmosphere. Choose carefully and pack the rest away or find another location in the home.

How about a Headboard?

If your bed does not have a headboard already, you can add dash to the room by making an addition. Once again, rummage sales and second-hand shops are excellent resources for great finds. You could also go the route of antiques. Choose something that complements the rest of your design or opt for a headboard that draws the eye the moment you step in the room. If you already have a headboard, this could be your opportunity to dress it up with stencils, a new coat of paint, or wall paper. Adding texture and patterns will really stand out when the rest of the room has a basic décor. You bed should also have a comfortable mattress line one from latex mattress australia.

Change Things Up!

Don't be afraid to switch things around in the bedroom. Place the bed at a new angle or against a different wall. Switch the dresser to a new spot or get a wardrobe. Feel free to experiment!
