A home is a place where we live, spend most of our lives, with family members and our loved ones. Everyone of us knows that a home is not just a structure of bricks and mortar.
it’s an experience.

A typical home consists of at least a living room, bedroom(s), kitchens, toilet blocks, dining room. This my vary depending upon a home is an apartment or a unit in the neighborhood.

Amongst the above mentioned rooms, the bedroom is the most important space.

Why?

Because this is where we are most comfortable. This is where we express our deepest emotions to our loved ones. This is where we sleep and gain energy to work for tomorrow.

A bedroom design project includes a careful study of the surrounding of the entire home. When an architect plans a home, he takes into consideration many parameters for the location of various spaces.

Lets take an example of the bedroom itself.

While deciding the location of the bedroom, an architect might go through the following checklist.

* North direction
* Path of the sun.
* Surrounding landscapes.
* Presence of other natural elements such as lake, flowing
  river, seashore, etc.. which could be visible through
  bedroom window.
* Wind direction.
* Manmade other features, such as tall buildings, roads, etc..

These external factors directly affect the interior of a
bedroom. This is true with any space and not only bedroom.

For example the amount of sunlight entering in a room will affect the dimensions of the window openings, which will in turn affect the available space inside the room for furniture.

The overall atmospheric conditions outside, will affect the type of finishes and materials used for furnishings, linen, flooring, etc.. A bedroom on seashore will have a different set of weather conditions to deal with than a room on a hill slope with heavy snowfall.

That’s why the interior design of any living habitual space is an exact replica of what’s happening outside. Everything is so dynamic. A slight change in the outside world can affect the appearance of the home altogether.

If you are trying to design your own space then this article might help to start thinking on the concept level.

With these words I end this article and hope it was useful.

Do you know that your bedroom is responsible for who you are right now.

Your own bedroom is the place which you see last when you go to sleep and also is the first place you see when you wake in the morning.

These two are the times of the day when you are most receptive to receive any messages, good or bad.

Hey, what did I say? Good or Bad. Yes, it’s true, anything you see, feel, touch, smell, listen to at this time of the day will contribute in making your “personality”, no matter whether it works for you or not.

That’s why you can make use of this fundamental reality to unconsciously program yourself almost automatically, by taking care of your bedroom. In short you can “design” your bedroom as a self help tool.

The term “design” in itself has a much wider scope. Design is not just color scheme, materials, lighting, furniture and its arrangement in the bedroom. It includes the personality of the person who is going to use it.

While in a bedroom, a person is more relaxed, feels more secured and is open minded to accept more positive messages. That’s why it is necessary to understand the personality of a person before designing his/her bedroom.

His/her likes/dislikes, moods, what motivates him/her can affect the entire bedroom design strategy. This design strategy includes the type of furniture to be used (iron, wood, cane contemporary), color schemes to be used (cool, warm, composite) types of flooring materials(tiles, carpets, wooden floors, PVC floors), the overall theme of the bedroom(oriental, contemporary)

That’s why a good bedroom design is one which creates a feeling of security for it’s owner. Use of natural elements such as plants/flowers can greatly add to the motivational capacity of a bedroom space. Since plants and flowers already have a beauty of their own, can greatly enhance the aura of the bedroom.

A bedroom which is nothing but a full mess, is harmful for development of a healthy mind. A room full of clutter and unnecessary garbage gives a negative message to your subconscious. As far as possible, office work, computers should be avoided in a bedroom.

If there is a scarcity of space and such situation arises all care must be taken to keep the work clean and healthy. This requires a little effort, but payoffs are huge if done on a regular basis.

I hope this article was informative and positive.
