<p>Did you know that bedroom home improvement projects are the most frequently attempted projects for homeowners?  As this is the room you spend almost half your life in, this is understandable &#8211; even if the majority of the time you spend there will be with your eyes closed!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You may wake up and decide you don&#8217;t like the color, or you don&#8217;t like the furnishings, or that you want things situated in a different way.  No matter what you pick, you need to figure out what you want to change and take it from there.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Now you might want to work on a budget.  It doesn&#8217;t have to be excessive, you can simply paint and rearrange furniture for a new look.  One big complaint in the bedroom is the lack of storage space.  Several innovative solutions &#8211; such as cabinets that can hang in a closet, stackable wooden storage crates with doors that face out, and shelving units can help with that, as can simply arranging the furniture to clear more floor space in the walk way areas &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t matter how much space is in your closet if it&#8217;s inconvenient to get to.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Take the time to plan out a layout for furniture and other elements in your bedroom interior design plan.  Think about where things go, and what has to go next to what for usability &#8211; then look at sightlines and the visual focus of the room.  You don&#8217;t have to decorate your bedroom in keeping with the rest of your home &#8211; this is your private space and you can give it the charming theme that suits you.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Next, pick out color schemes and patterns.  Lighter colors will make the room seem more spacious and airy, but darker colors can be nice and even in small rooms will make the walls recede giving it the allusion of space!  Your lighting fixture are important and you want to be sure there is enought light for reading or what have you.  You want to be sure you have matching colors in the carpet, bedding and window treatments to pull the room together.  </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Decide which pieces of furniture and accessories you want to replace &#8211; in particular, think about artwork, floor lamps and reading lights.  Consider colors and themes that go with the rooms overall design, try to buy pieces that are practical, such as a cedar chest for the foot of the bed, or headboards with shelves on them for lamps, alarm clocks or books.  If you want a TV in the room, you will have to plan it so that it is situated in an area that is comfortable for viewing from the bed &#8211; putting the TV remote on a tether tied to the head board can also be useful.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Planning out your bedroom interior design beforehand  is a great way to ensure you accomplish a room that is perfect for you as well as make your project go smoothly!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1 Storage, storage, storage</p>
<p>A bathroom&#8217;s priority is storage. This might mean a large, low level cupboard that sits hidden beneath two curvaceous, countertop sinks. Or a wall cupboard, either with doors painted to blend in with the tile surrounds or with mirrored doors that reflect light and make the space seem bigger. If space is tight, wall-hung units might be your only option and if this is the case, choose mirrored doors to make the room look bigger from the reflection.</p>
<p>2 Make it practical but stylish</p>
<p>Two sinks are highly practical if you&#8217;ve got kids and they&#8217;re also very fashionable. When it comes to the bath, a big one is a plus point for a family so if you can fit one in, do! And by placing the taps on the wall at its centre rather than at one end, you will give it that elusive &#8216;spa&#8217; feeling that a lot of baths lack.</p>
<p>3 Family friendly can be good looking</p>
<p>As for floors and walls, the more areas covered by wipe-clean and waterproof surfaces the better. Tiles are the number one choice but if you&#8217;re covering a large area then choose big ones as they&#8217;ll make the space seem bigger as well. Go for a sophisticated finish, such as a slate-effect, then indulge in an enormous mirror and good lighting to make it as light and bright as possible.</p>
<p>4 Make lighting a priority</p>
<p>A small bathroom cries out for good lighting so take out the central light fitting and go for halogen spots that mimic natural daylight.</p>
<p>5 Pick a show off</p>
<p>One focal piece &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a slightly impractical but good looking enormous sink, a sexy shower head or even just a fabulous mirror &#8211; will give the room instant character and turn it from a practical, apologetic cell into a room you&#8217;ll want to be in.</p>
<p>6 Choose clever surfaces</p>
<p>Use every trick to make a low-ceilinged room look taller. A white ceiling and good lighting will help, as will low-slung fittings. As for the surface, pick large, light-coloured tiles to enhance the space or go for something more unusual, such as wood veneer panelling.</p>
<p>7 Let in natural light</p>
<p>You need to get natural daylight into your bathroom any way you can. Put a big skylight in a loft room but if small windows are the only option, undress them completely and replace the glass with frosted panes or fit white roller blinds on for privacy.</p>
<p>8 Zone: Your room</p>
<p>If your bathroom combines with a wet room, a step to confine the wet area is a must. You needn&#8217;t splash out on getting one built in to your floor though &#8211; a super-size shallow shower tray does the job.</p>
<p>9 Ditch the shower curtain</p>
<p>A bathroom needs to look super-sleek to work well, so ditch the idea of a shower curtain in favour of a smart, glazed panel or door. Where do you hang it in a wet room though? It needn&#8217;t go right across the opening to the wet room &#8211; they are supposed to be open, after all &#8211; just hang it so that the shower area is accessible but not awkward to reach.</p>
<p>10 Get the flooring right</p>
<p>Bathroom and wet room floors need to be non-slip as well as waterproof. That means natural stone (not marble), treated concrete, treated dark woods such as teak, and Corian.</p>
