Headboard attached to the window is believed to inhibit the chi energy to and out of the room so that sleep will be restless. If you use the bed for two people, make sure there is a way out of the same size in both the bed to get up with ease.

2. Use your bedroom according to their function
Television, computers, fitness equipment that you put in the room considered to be disturbing the rest and symbolizes weakness and depleted energy. If you keep your television, put it in the closet and shut the door while sleeping. Or, it could also cover the TV with a cloth at night.

Besides functioning as a place of rest, the room also serves to stimulate the baby. We recommend around the bed / crib surrounded by stimuli in accordance with the age of the baby.

Newborns up to age 2 months are still limited hearing and eyesight. They can not distinguish colors well, so that an effective stimulus for them should be black and white only. Stimulus aims to stimulate baby’s senses of sight so she learned to observe the immediate environment.

If parents want to give toys around the crib, then it could be made with a patchwork kind of geometric shapes such as triangles or circles. The color is also black and white only. Toys are put in a distance not too far away to be caught by the baby’s eyes, which is about 20 inches from the baby’s eyes. Only after the age of two months, her vision will get better so stimulus be combined with any other color. Usually selected bright colors such as red, blue and green. However, these colors should be replaceable around two or three days.

Obviously to be able to provide all the stimulus needed funds. But do not worry if the funds are limited, because not all the stimulus needs to be purchased in stores. All it takes only creativity father and mother, really, to make themselves at home. For example, wall hangings can be created by making the magazine clipping taped to a sheet of cardboard. For example, clipping a half-body picture of a person in a magazine to stimulate infants recognize facial shape. Or, to train the listener can baby rattle made from tin cans filled Redoxon rice or green beans. But do not forget safety, which is wrapped around the lid with duct tape.

If your child sharing a room with your father and mother, may be you can provided one corner of the room to be a stimulus for him. The important thing to remember, the corner or around the room the baby’s room should not be hung with ornaments too much. Because the baby’s attention span is still limited. They’re hard to catch many stimuli at once. Better are installed alternately. Also, do not forget the security of these stimuli. With lots of decorations / stimulus must have needed extra energy to clean.

We definitely want a bedroom as a comfortable resting place after all the exhaustion or activities outside the home. But it’s hard to feel comfortable sleeping space filled with piles of clothes and other goods. Here are some tips for how storage solutions in bedrooms, even in the smallest bedroom:

For details should first identify your needs and your goods before buying or designing your wardrobe. Shelves and drawers easily added, but the hook is more difficult to change. For the long dresses, you need a hanger height (170cm), but shirts and pants that do not require a high hanger, you can put the hanger in stages (90cm and 170cm), so it can load more clothes.

Separate and organize items that are often used and which are not. Everyday shoe is placed in front, and wear shoes that are rarely placed at the top / rear. Shoes should be stored using a box, so not easy to mix and exchange.

Maybe some of you may prefer the open shelves of the drawer, because it’s easier to find clothes in between the stack. Best drawers to store clothes that are not folded properly, such as socks and underwear. Four drawer for a single person had enough.

4. Vertical Thinking
If condition of your ceiling is high enough, a lot of places can be created with wall cabinets above his head. Such cabinets are suitable for putting the goods are rarely used. If possible, enter the closet and shelves into the walls, so that the space continues to be felt relieved.
Pick a high cabinets and trim. When you put the TV and audio sets in the room, choose a concise and compact. CDs and DVDs can be arranged vertically with the rack on the wall.

5. Create Access
Try to pay attention to another room immediately adjacent to your bedroom. If there is attic above your bedroom, make a door hanging on the ceiling, so that easy attic access. If your bedroom directly adjacent to the laundry room, make a hole in the wall that allows you to remove the laundry from the room directly to the laundry room.
