How can I turn my bedroom into a spa retreat? Please give me tips to make it a relaxing & tranquil atmosphere?

Q. My bedroom has gray-lavender walls, with white ceilings and light hardwood floors. Very simple.

I would really want to turing it into something that looks like a spa room. Something with beautiful (but contemporary/modern) decorations and ultra soft, romantic glowing lights.

Any tips?

A. Your walls are a perfect color as are your floors. They speak to a contemporary look. Choose a rich silver blue fabric for your bedding. Night tables should be simple and elegant or build them into the wall on either side of the bed. Use wall sconces with up/down lighting on either side as opposed to table lamps. If you can wire your ceiling hang a classy chandelier on dimmers. Use silk floor to ceiling drapes at your windows. If your bedroom is large enough, add an ottoman in a rich lustrous fabric....something soft. Add a soft furlike throw to the bottom of the bed. A wonderful chair/lounger in a soft fabric would be a great addition if you have room. Accessories should be simple. A few tall floor vases with reeds, pick up additional colors by adding simple contemporary artwork, and keep your dressers clean and simple. Comfort and spa is defined by clean lines and mute colors. It doesn't mean you can't have a piece of artwork that adds a burst of color. It's more about clean soft comfy fabrics and colors.

In a bedroom would a different color in a walk in a walk in closet look odd ?

Q. The paint that I used for my bedroom is expensive and I have an off white/tan extra paint on hand. My bedroom is a pastel light shade of orange, if I painted the walk in closet the off white/tan shade-- would that look odd and a mismatch ? Or would you for sure buy the same paint as the bedroom ?

A. If the closet has a door, it would be fine to paint it another color. If it were a dressing room that opened directly into the bedroom, the same color would be preferable, but for a closet? It would certainly be okay - and smart - to use the neutral, light paint you have on hand.

How can I make a cold bedroom warmer?

Q. My bedroom has been really cold. How can I make my bedroom warmer when I sleep?
A heater might warm my room too much, that could be unhealthy, but thanks for the suggestion. My room is next to two windows, that could be blowing cold air. My room is also next to my sister's room, which is a warm room by itself. Please help me, everyone.

A. If its for sleeping, there are many ways keep warm in that cold bedroom of your 2icarly3. If you have a cat, have him (or her) snuggle up with you and hold it. That's one way to keep warm.
