Our rest and relaxation is so important to good health and happiness.
  Why then do we often neglect our bedroom décor? Why do we retreat
  and awake in rooms filled with clutter, laundry, ironing boards and old
  magazines? Do yourself a favour this month and reclaim your sanctuary.

  Declutter - Remove the kids' toys, clothes hamper, computer and TV so you
  can drift off to sleep without the chaos. Sort through all of your clothing. If
  you haven't worn it in the past year, you probably never will.

  Maximize Storage - There are so many products available now to divide,
  hang and conquer the space in your closet and drawers. Avoid piling
  things on top of dressers and stashing stuff under the bed.

  Move the Furniture - Position your bed differently and remove excess furniture.
  If you have a comfortable chair in your room, don't use it as a holding place
  for the day's discarded wardrobe.

  Clean Clean Clean - Thorough cleaning should be done frequently, and be
  sure to vacuum the mattress too.

  Effective Lighting - Avoid harsh overhead glare and ensure adequate
  bedside lighting for your reading pleasure.

  Dress the Bed - Pillows and throws can add drama and texture to this
  focal point.

  Windows - Simple changes can create a new look. Floor length curtains or
  panels in the same shade as the walls can help a small room appear larger.

  Air it Out - Open the windows every morning, even in the dead of winter,
  for a bit of fresh air.

  Accessorize - Choose a new vase, picture frame or area rug in an accent
  colour which coordinates with the soft furnishings.

  Finishing Touches - A scented candle, fresh flowers and soft music will give
  you that peaceful haven that you crave at the end of a busy day.
