Count to Ten… Now Mommies, Go Hide! Decor & You Creates Serene Bedrooms Where Busy Parents Can Find Relief
Women who can’t find time for exercise or relaxation, should at least have a proper room to relax in at the end of a busy day. In a recent survey performed by the Roper Starch Worldwide, it was found that nearly 25% of women (and 20% of men) who hold professional jobs described themselves as “super-stressed”. Most people get just a few minutes a day to unwind (is this sounding familiar?), and one great way to purge the day’s stress is to retire to a beautifully decorated, uncluttered master bedroom.
We have found that many people leave master bedroom decorating for last (the story of my life), and live for years in a cluttered, neglected space. If our clients want to close the bedroom door, and feel the stress drain out, then we know that we have done our job right. Working parents, in particular, need to hold the family together – and themselves – so they need a sleeping environment that supports their lifestyle. The secret is to make your bedroom a place you actually enjoy – even the simple task of making the bed – by improving ambiance and making it function better.
We at Decor & You believe that overly-busy people are daunted by decorating, often because of the extra time and energy they need to make changes – in their bedrooms, or any room. When our clients are intimidated with the process, we sometimes begin with simple changes, such as bedding, wallpaper or an area rug, which help people experience how one small decision can benefit an entire room.
At Decor&You we use a client-centered approach that aims to make decorating easier – and even fun. To set the right color palette, we guide each client to discover his or her relationship with color, which is the essential first step in customizing this personal space. Color on the walls, floor and in the bedding and drapery fabrics, makes a huge sensory impact on how people feel in a room. One client may prefer a stimulating bedroom splashed in passion flower pink with lots of pattern, while another craves the calm of a neutral dove grey with clean, crisp solids.
Another vital change is to introduce a routine spot, other than the bed, where you can relax and nourish your need for peace. A properly scaled, and very comfortable lounge chair can sometimes do the trick. A bedroom lounge chair is luxurious yet simple and affordable; it gently beckons you – and gives permission – to find quiet time for yourself. Consider completing the picture by placing a petite table alongside for a private continental breakfast or a nightcap, and a standing floor lamp for directed reading light.
Sleep researchers frown on TV-watching in the bedroom, but it’s common in many homes. If you want to have a television in your master bedroom-- by all means-- keep it! That's where we come in to help you. As professional decorators we take your TV into consideration and look for wall-mounting solutions or furniture enclosures, to ensure the television does not dominate the space in front of the bed. Controlling visual clutter is essential to ensure a tranquil, restorative space. Likewise, home exercise equipment, which often ends up stationed in the bedroom, needs to be visually separated. (Hmmm-- this sounds like my bedroom!) Again, we would help you look for creative camouflage such as decorative panels or a mobile “Shoji” screen to take care of this dilemma.
Health experts acknowledge the benefits of natural light and privacy, and yet, many of us overlook these advantages by covering up our bedroom windows to protect privacy. There are tons of options out there such as a top-down, bottom-up Duette shade, which connects people with the natural energy of the sun and the pleasure of their outdoor views. The Duettes function like most blinds, except it opens from either the bottom or the top. Ask us and we'll find the perfect solution for your room.
Besides custom decorating services, Decor & You researches the ideal products for our clients’ bedrooms.
