If so, youll want to incorporate some sound muffling devices -- especially if your bed- room is located close to the major activity hub of your home -- the kitchen or family room. Thick carpeting is an effective tool in muffling sound. And windows on busy streets or close to adjoining properties can be covered with fabrics that will help deaden sound and act as effec- tive insulation barriers as well. Furniture If new furniture is also included in your plans, it's a good idea to visit several showrooms long the - planning process. This will give you a rea- listic idea of the size and feel of the types of pieces you'd like to incorporate. A four-poster or sleigh bed, for instance, might look a little larger in real life than what you had initially envisioned. It pays to be realistic. Using Existing Space If you want to work of your present bedroom, you'll obviously be more within the existing space =~ Partments -- limited in the scope of | your project. However, keep in mind that win- dows and doors can be replaced or installed in new locations. Walls can also be removed, or new ones can be installed.

For ideas, talk to a decorating con- sultant or check out some remodelling publi- cations. Design experts also suggest that you allow between two and three feet of clear space on ei- ther side of the bed so it's easier to access and make up. Adequate ac- cess room should also be left for items like ward- robes, dressers and dressing tables. Lighting is also an im- portant . consideration which is sometimes over- looked in the redecorat- ing process. Most likely you'll want to have ade- quate lighting for read- ing in bed. You may also require task lighting if you plan to incorporate a work area into your bed- room. With a little foresight and ingenuity, you can transform your bedroom into a cosy, secluded ref- uge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
