Spa Retreat

• Transform your bedroom into a place where you can put your feet up at the end of a day and relax. Ground the room with rich hardwood floors surrounded by soothing green walls. Place a free-standing fireplace with glass crystals beside a simple, but comfortable chaise. Add contemporary recessed lighting around the perimeter of the room and sleek sconces along the wall beside your spa area. Bedroom furniture with simple lines will contribute to the quiet comfort of your retreat. Bed linens, curtains and furniture fabric should be made from natural cotton, linen or bamboo in neutral shades of tan, white or gray. Accessorize minimally, but make sure to add a fountain for ambiance and to aid in your relaxation.
  
  

Shabby Chic Haven

• Bring light and casual comfort into your bedroom with a shabby chic decor. Pale yellow or soft blue walls with distressed white mismatched furniture against dark hardwood floors create an airy lightness in the space. You can add wainscoting with bead-board on the lower wall for more texture. A woman needs a little drama in her life, so hang a black chandelier, dripping with crystals, over a writing desk or seating area with an overstuffed chair or chaise lounge. A vintage chenille bedspread, white with colorful swirls or a small floral design, is a nice touch. You can accent with shutters or simple drapes, colorful pillows and one or two black accessories to tie in your chandelier.
  
  

Tropical Nights

• Decorate your bedroom as a tropical paradise with rich hardwood furniture that includes a canopy bed with billowy white sheers to match those on the window. Scatter colorful rugs on top of your light hardwood floors and add a ceiling fan to add a breeze. Create a relaxing seating area with a wicker, bamboo or teak sofa and chairs. Select brightly colored fabrics to cover thick, comfortable cushions and accessorize with exotic plants like orchids, jade and bromeliads.
