The bedroom, with its links to sleep and dreams, intimacy and solitude, is one of the most beguiling and mysterious rooms in the house. This small, illustrated book provides a glimpse into the kind of sanctuary we crave - comfortable, relaxed, stylish, and serene. Together with aspirational images, this book offers a wealth of simple, practical advice on how to transform the most personal of spaces. It includes: how to bring out the potential of the room by considering its history, mythology and psychology; how to use colour, sound, scent and light in the room; furnishings and decoration, creative storage and finishing touches; and simple rituals and blessings for the room - smudging, cleansing and rituals.
This book investigates the bedroom as a vital sanctuary, exploring how the intersection of physical design and psychological intention can transform a personal space into a site of rest and renewal. Author Jane Alexander draws upon her expertise in holistic living to argue that the bedroom requires a deliberate approach that balances aesthetic comfort with the deeper, often overlooked, needs for spiritual and emotional restoration. By integrating practical design principles with ancient rituals, the text provides a framework for creating an environment that supports both sleep and the subconscious mind.
What You Will Find
The text offers a holistic approach to interior design that prioritizes the occupant's mental and spiritual well-being alongside traditional aesthetic concerns. Its blend of practical advice and ritualistic practice suggests a focus on creating a meditative, restorative environment for the reader.
