Beautiful Spaces Part 2 - Bedroom

When we moved to Dubai many, many years ago we had to make a tough decision between hiring the furniture delivery service to pack the furniture to bring with us or sell everything and settle with the furniture that's given with the company accommodation. Well, we chose the later.  It was sad seeing our precious filled with memories pieces taken away by others but we kept a few and took them with us here like the first piece of furniture we bought as a couple which happened to be a wooden shoe closet and a mosaic framed wall mirror that is now hanging in the parlor.  We couldn't bring ourselves to sell those!

After a few months in Dubai we decided that even if we could not change much of the house we were given, we should choose our own furniture in the bedroom, which we did but still once in a while we talk about one day of having the freedom to choose, decide and design our own space of privacy. The beauty about this whole not living in your own house saga is that we have the time to plan, make some research and execute when  the time comes.  Not a bad deal to think of it, right?

So here this weekend, I would like to share some images I found on my research.  I've heard many arguments on having an entertainment system in the bedroom.  I would love to hear your point of view when it comes to this.  For me a great reading area with good source of lighting is enough and just what I need.  Maybe some music is not such a bad idea to have in the room but the whole entertainment system, that is arguable. 

Elements of a dream bedroom :

Large windows or doors that gives lots of natural light and some view of outside.

Great ceiling or fabulous draping/canopy design. 

Soft neutral color

Wooden flooring

Mixture of wooden and fabric furniture

Mood lighting

A small reading area

Do share with me your idea in making your dream bedroom, I would love to hear it.  Until next Monday I wish all of you a great weekend and send your way my warmest greetings from Dubai!
