Furniture can be functional and beautiful, or both. There is only one piece of furniture, however, that provides an intimate and intricate connection to your personal energy- and that is your bed. Your bed's the place where medical experts say you should spend about one third of your life sleeping soundly in order to achieve maximum health benefits. If your body is your temple, then your bed and bedroom is an important key.

I strongly believe in design continuity throughout a home, with bedrooms getting a free pass. The challenge with bedrooms is determining what kind of environment inspires both relaxation and energization. For some, a minimalist design and color palette works, while this style might be a boring existential nightmare for others. Glamour and sophistication is always popular, but many people find their bliss with simple Zen. The proper mattress is essential to attain restful sleep - another story in itself. I like bedrooms to be transportive-enabling you to leave your worries behind and have sweet dreams.

What's your Idea of bedroom bliss? Remember, whatever the style and decor, you can't argue with a good night's sleep.
