As we’re always fond of saying, your home is your sanctuary!

Your home is what you return to from study or work. It’s where you set out from when your day begins. And this is truest of your bedroom, where you’re the undisputed queen or king. Make it special!

Here’s a step by step guide to how you can make your bedroom your sanctuary.

STEP 1. What’s it you don’t like about your room? (You’re going to change it.)

Sometimes, the most obvious things are the ones we miss. The elephant in the room, as they say. 2500 years ago, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, ‘Nothing is permanent, except change’. The only exception is that idea itself. It hasn’t changed to this day!

On a more serious note, human likes and dislikes keep changing. Why, we even aren’t the same person we were a year back. And that’s the beauty of life. It even gives us the opportunity to change our lives for the better.

So, here’s the first step. Sit down in a quiet spot and write down all the things that you think are wrong about your room. All those things should have changed when you’re done with this project. Maybe you want to see plants through the window, while now, all you see is the neighbour’s concrete wall. (Think of adding a plant on the sill, or a wallpaper with botanical motifs!) Think! Think!
