Among all function space of the home, bedroom needs more attention of us. Busy life makes us stressful and staying up late. Despite we all know the importance of good rest, there still are many people sleep deprivation. Try to decorate your bedroom with some tips to get a better sleep.
1.       Create a space for rest and decompression. As a private space, bedroom should be a harbor of the busy life. Bedroom is not a space for working, eating or watching TV. We would like to build it as a warm harbor.

2.       Think as a baby. We got the inspiration from the hotel. Fluffy duvet, flowing white curtains and neat bedding are necessary. Taking several minutes to make the bed in the morning means we can have a nice sleep at night.

3.       Relax all your organs. We surely want to relax ourselves after a day work. A cup of water with some mint or pieces of lemon will help a lot. In addition, bedding of your favorite texture is necessary. As I see, some lavender incense will be conducive to relax and sleep. Of course, the favor what you love most is the best choice.

4.       Choose a heart-stirring painting which you can see in first sight when you wake up. And you can surely place a big mirror for spatial expansion. Decorate flowers on the bedside table and take some time to put away the dirty clothes to make a neat bedroom. If you have some difficulty to fall asleep, you can listen to some soft music.

5.       Refuse distraction. Make the bedroom keep away from those high-Tec products. TV, phone and computer interfere with sleep greatly. Try to replace them with books and watch whether our sleep condition will be improved.

6.       Change color hue. If your bedroom has always kept in the same color, you can have some changes. Some colors will make you calm and relax. For example, blue and green will keep you in calm; fresh white and lemon yellow will arouse the vitality.

7.       Redesign the hallway and cabinet door. If your sliding cabinet door is not attractive enough and the hallway is not spacious enough, you can replace them with curtains. As curtains take a little space and is soft enough. You will have more choices about the texture and color. It’s easy to take a change. But it will make a big change of overall.

8.       Thorough cleanup. Clear out the needless things from the bedroom. Giving them to charity or placing them in storage room both are good choices. Only leave your favorite things in bedroom, keeping it clear and concise.


9.       Create an atmosphere of holiday. You can add some small elements to make your bedroom a resort. Decorate differently according to different places you want to go. For instance, paste a world map on the wall; put a few books of restoring; use restored lamp and print some postcards of different places you want to go. Thus you can travel without stepping out the door.

Tips on Buying a Table Lamp

The table lamp is the most common home accessory. It will help to offer us extra light and also decorate our rooms. As table lamps come in all variety of shapes and sizes, you can rest assured you will find one that fits your style and budget. The following tips may help you.

To help you decide on the size of your lamp, consider where you plan to place it. For a narrow or delicate accent table, select a slender lamp. Not only will it be more attractive visually, but safer too, as a bulky lamp on a narrow or unsteady surface could topple over.

A table's height will also dictate your lamp's height. Shorter lamps on look better on higher tables, and taller ones on lower tables.

Consider the lamp's style. A high-tech swing-arm lamp will look out of place on a carved Victorian table, while a faceted crystal-and-shiny-brass table lamp is likely to be jarring on a Shaker or Mission night stand.

Check the recommended wattage. Though you can replace low-wattage light bulbs with higher ones, this can make a fixture too hot and damage your lamp. Be especially careful with fluorescent desk lamps, as high-wattage bulbs can also become hot. To avoid any potential dangers, turn off your desk lamp if it begins to get very warm. Make sure you also move your desk lamp away from papers, curtains and other flammable objects when it's hot.

Choose the shade.A fabric or semiopaque paper shade gives a warm, flattering glow. Near a TV, an opaque shade of any material can minimize glare. In general, drum shades look more modern; conical ones, more traditional. A shade should never extend past a table's perimeter.
