It's worth thinking about
It's easy to think "Oh, it's only the bedroom. We don't need a bedroom decorating idea!"
Sometimes we just make do. An old dresser or inherited piece of furniture provides some storage space. And once we start using a room, well, it tends to stay how it is for years.
But it really is worth while giving some serious thought to the bedroom. Not only do you sleep there, but it's where you prepare yourself for the day. It's probably where you make for once you get home, change into some other clothes - maybe take a catnap? You might be reading the latest I-can't-put-it-down thriller, and sitting up late into the night. Or get hooked on a TV program.
And what about your clothes? Are they easy to get at, or hidden in a great pile in a closet because you forgot to plan for the space you'd need? Shoes are often left lying around, and you can find some great shoe storage ideas here.
Perhaps you've inherited the bedroom decorating colors from the previous owners, and never got around to changing them. You hated the room when you first moved in, but somehow have learned to live with it...
