Create a relaxing bedroom

Your bedroom is supposed to be a place to rest your head and enjoy a peaceful environment after a full a day's work. If your room is beginning to seem more like a storage unit than a tranquil living space, it may be time to get down to business and look into a makeover.

Simple changes to a room can make a big difference - without putting a big dent in your wallet. Better Homes and Gardens showed off some of their favorite styles and gave their two-cents as to why each design works. To begin the process of updating, find out what you really want in a bedroom. Do you prefer calming designs or a clean modern feel that boasts minimal pieces? Once you've decided on the look you desire, choose a paint color that is both inviting and peaceful and purchase statement pieces, like a unique light fixture or trunk, to go at the end of the bed to make the layout feel like home.

Switching out your old window treatments for light airy shades or even wood or natural bamboo blinds is another easy and relatively inexpensive way to bring new life to any space. Find an option you like best to complete your transformation.

With your updated space, you may never leave your bedroom again, and who would blame you?
