     The bedroom, long cherished as the personal space where we withdraw from the world, is the one part of the house that is free from the demand to be dressed up and paraded for public display. Guests are entertained in the living and dining rooms, whereas the bedroom remains unbreached as the sanctum sanctorum where we retire to sleep, rest, and recharge our batteries before facing the world again at the start of each new day. Ironically, though we spend half our lives in the bedroom, most of it is spent with our eyes shut,so it's no surprise that the precious bedroom often gets the least attention from busy homeowners, because the occupants themselves get scant time to appreciate the full potential of the design directions that lie dormant in it.
