It is easy for a poison arrow to find a space to penetrate where two walls meet and form a corner. This could be a bed, a computer desk or a favourite reading spot. Hang a 30 to 40mm crystal on a nine-inch red string from the ceiling and right in front of the corner.<br /><br />The symbol for Yin & Yang are depicted in black and white, representing male and female. You don't have to have a black and white bedroom to use Feng Shui, however crisp white super king bedding or <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/printed-duvet-covers/">duvet cover sets</a> in white will give your bedroom a fresh, clean look.<br /><br />Try these tips to see if you can feel the difference in the scope of your home and your attitude toward life. You can then look forward to decorating your new enlightened space with furnishings that will make a world of difference.<br /><br />Image: My Bedroom Feng Shui

These blinds are inexpensive and are low maintenance, because they can be made of any material - cotton, silk and even hemp are just some of the choices. They can be chosen to match cheap bedding sets and the rest of your chosen décor. Most are washable and the ones that are not can be dry cleaned or dusted, so keeping them clean is not a problem. Best of all, you can find the best deals online. <br /><br />2. In addition to shutting out the light and making sure that you have a comfortable bed, you could add accessories such as a rock waterfall set up or a white noise machine to shut out city noise or chirping birds. A diffuser with your favourite scent or some aromatherapy candles might be a good idea as well - your nose knows what it wants and that can be used to relax you!<br />3. Your eyes are pleased by the lack of light thanks to blackout roller blinds, new duvet covers bedding is also a great idea to help you feel comfortable and your ears are full of the sounds of the ocean gently rolling over the shore. The whole world is Zen and it's all because you took the time out to make your bedroom a relaxing environment.<br /><br />Image: A Life's Design

Quick Tips To Creating A Cosy Guest Room

The bed and whatnot are important, but the idea that you've specifically made a room 'just for them' can be a deal breaker on your guests staying with you again. Even the pickiest person can sleep well with the black out curtains or blinds in place and properly chosen duvet covers bedding.<br /><br />Once you have taken care of the sleepy guests, the bored ones are still waiting for some attention. Accessories are important. You might add a book shelf, along with matching tables to put their books on so that when they get ready to rest, there's a place to put them other than the floor!<br /><br />The addition of a television is essential for those who find it hard to sleep! It doesn't have to be large, but a good one is required. If you have all of this the last thing to be considered is extra <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/quality/cheap-bed-linen/">cheap bed linen</a> and blankets, and of course making sure that they have extra pillows just in case. A good night's sleep will be so simple in this room with it's comfortable bed and black out window treatments, TV and a good book on the night stand. <br /><br />You and your guests will enjoy their stay with these ideas implemented and you will be able to rest easy knowing that you worked hard to make their visit enjoyable.<br /><br />Image: A Life's Design

Beautiful Bright Bedrooms

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_50cUwPg0slM/TFrxAkZLMdI/AAAAAAAAGns/P6xuiN_ugMg/s400/bedroom-children-lamp-0710-ewart-12-de.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_50cUwPg0slM/TFrxAkZLMdI/AAAAAAAAGns/P6xuiN_ugMg/s400/bedroom-children-lamp-0710-ewart-12-de.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 313px; height: 400px;" /></a><br />If we can be honest for a moment, bright colours in the bedroom can't possibly prevent us from having a good night's sleep, if we are happy and comfortable with our choices. This is why it is important to use the colours that you have a natural attraction to - whether it be hot pink or acid yellow. If you are not convinced, stick with neutral walls to begin with and then bring in a cool colour such as blue, green or lavender to window treatments and <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/bedding/">duvet covers bedding</a>. The third colour will be used as an accent - bright and contrasting to your other colour.<br /><br />A good example would be a soft cornflower blue that offers a tranquil atmosphere, then given a fun twist by splashing bold orange to pillow covers and lampshades. In the same way, a zesty yellow will pick up lavender and a shot of red can give green a fresh look. It is all about little surprises!<br /><br /><br />Hot pink is a winning colour in feminine bedrooms. For a crisp and contemporary look, choose a hot pink floor rug under the bed and a unique piece of pink art on the back wall. You could also get a similar look by choosing a headboard in hot pink - try one with a floral pattern and leave the rest of your bedding in pure white or a subtle cream.<br /><br />Image: A Life's Design
