Should you be spending a third of your life deeply inhaling toxic emissions wafting out of your bed? No, of course not. You need a Pure Rest organic mattress.

Your bed can become a volcano if you do a bit of creative decor.
Start with a bed that has a head board but no foot board. Paint the whole bed black. Upholster the head board with bright red satin in the shape of lava flowing down and out ward to spread over the base from a single spot on the top surface of the headboard. This will make a nice back rest when stuffed. The river of glowing hot lava is continued with the bedding.
Cover the bed in matching red satin sheets, pillow cases, comforter cover, and bead spread to look like the continuation of the lava flow coming from the volcano's vent, and add a few black throw pillows to look like chunks of cooled hardened lava that broke off. The bed skirt could be either red or black, depending on how old you want the lower lava flow to look. A red satin skirt over a black frame would give the impression of layered stratigraphy and help to create the lava falls spilling onto the floor.
A red curvy area rug at the side or foot of the bed would continue that lava theme, making it appear to pool. Surround the rug with black bean bag chairs to look like cooled hardened lava rock formations.
For added effect, paint the wall over the top of the head board to look like a rising plume of smoke and ash.
If your volcano is underwater, add lots of bubbles to the painting of rising ash plumes. If you are really ambitious, you can attach a shelf to the back of the headboard and sit a bubble machine on it, hidden below the top surface, just behind the place you've made to look like the vent point. The bubble machine should always be operated with an adult present.
The lava bed is one of the easier theme beds to design and create.

Everyone loves pillows, whether they are arranged in a row on a couch, or heaped on the floor in a pile, whether they are used one at a time, or layered and grouped, pillows are great decorations. Pillows can be stamped with fabric paint, quilted, appliqu?d, sewn with ruffles, printed with photographs, or beaded to make them really stand out.
Pillows come in all shapes and sizes. When combined, they are an art instillation in and of themselves. The benefit of this kind of art is that it is so comfortable for everyday use.? A heap of pillows is fun to jump into, sprawl out on, build forts with, offer to guests to make them more comfortable, support aching backs with, rest your head on, elevate your feet with, and of course, have a pillow fight with.
Many modern day artists work in fabric to create unique signature pillows. These don't have to be extremely expensive, as they are often designed by the artist and then mass produced to lower costs. Some artists work with a certain style or theme that runs through their cushioned creations, so you can combine pillows that have different designs while retaining the same look and feel.
Pillows can have tassels, fringes, fur, laces, or buttons. The possibilities are virtually endless. That means you can use different elements to create a unified look without giving up on variety. Try a collection of pillows that share the same shape and fabric but come in a multitude of colors; or why not a mix of different pillows in pure white, showing off different textures and trimmings?
Don't think just beds and couches either. Pillows come in all sizes. Some are large enough to be used as chairs or beds, while some are tiny and have pockets for teeth that the tooth faerie will come for. Play around and adds elements of luxury and comfort in various rooms.

I love quilts. I think they're the ultimate bedroom decor item. Handmade quilts even more so. They provide a sense of “home” like few other items do. I really like this one, with its simple design of stars and squares - simple and crafted by hand in warm reddish tones. I like how they added the checkered pattern into this quilt. It just screams out “home”, well in a mellow quiet tone

This quilt is gorgeous and very affordable at $49 at the time of writing these lines. With so much work put into it and such a detailed wonderful finish, this is an awesome price for a piece of home decor that can really add a special touch to any room. An awesome gift for winter time and the holidays:

There is a remedy for rooms that make you claustrophobic. The antidote for cramped or windowless spaces is to paint a continuous landscape mural on every wall and the ceiling, to trick the eye into believing you are outside with lots of room to run in every direction. Perspective drawing of your favorite landscape is all you need to turn your room into a relaxing, beautiful environment.
Covering your wall with a beautiful detailed mural can be the key to any fantasy room. If you can bring it alive in your art, or if you can hire the right person to do that, you have the opportunity to bring your fantasy to life.
A wall mural is a way to bring the outdoors inside, using artistic inspiration. It does not have to be perfectly realistic, either. Letting the imagination run wild can be the key to some very interesting artistic creations which can inspire you and those who share the room with you.
A room mural is perfect for children, adults and elders. Teenagers and convalescents will find room murals to be especially helpful when they lack the mobility they crave. The mural gives them the feeling of being outside, roaming freely.? Adventure landscapes spark children's imaginations.? Office workers can become more inventive and industrious when they are treated to inspiring views.
When choosing furniture for a room with picture painted walls, be sure to pick items that will enhance rather than cover or clash with the painted scenes. For instance: If your room is painted to look like a desert, then large embroidered pillows and low laying ottomans would give the d?cor the feel of a Bedouin tent. If your room is painted to look like rolling hills covered in vineyards, then using furniture you'd find in a winery garden would fit the scene.

Solid wood is a classic way to create a distinguished opulent look and feel in a room, but not the only way, as this brown chaise lounger proves so well.

The cherry finished legs are beautiful but they are not that dominant in the overall look. What makes this piece of furniture so luxurious is the very shape of the chaise lounger - inviting for a single person to put his or her feet up and relax in peace.
The color is important too, brown as wood, it's both soothing and masculine at the same time, making this lounger a perfect choice for offices and waiting rooms, as well as a more official living room. It could also work well in a more masculine bedroom, but don't be afraid to soften it a little with a nice warm throw, ready to be wrapped around some lucky person's shoulders.
And if you think a lounger is not functional enough, keep in mind that this one hides plenty of storage room there too, right under that seat.

Look at this handsome cabinet; what a great Decor item! Made from previously-used white oak wine barrels, this Full Barrel Cabinet on Casters features a stationary storage shelf and removable maple serving tray. The cabinet measures 38″H X 26″ in diameter, and will turn any room decor into a success. Whether your design theme is rustic country, sophisticated elegance, European wine tasting chateau, antique nostalgia, or pirate chic, this is the cabinet for you.
A great storage option that actually enhances rather than distracts from the room's beauty, you'll brag to all your friends about how you did the environment a favor by reusing wood rather than cutting down forests. This eco friendly alternative is also a good way to improve your room's Feng Shui. The circular shape will guide chi effortlessly around the room without presenting sharp corners in any direction. Your shins will thank you for the consideration. Order two, and place them at intervals on opposite sides of a long hallway to cause Chi to flow like a meandering river towards the bedrooms and offices. Verry auspicious!
This design offers platforms for potted plants, and hiding places to stash your secrets. Just turn the cabinet door to the wall, and no one will know it's there or think to check; after all, it's clearly a wine barrel (wink). Theives and pirates will never discover your treasures without a map!

Decorative items can accentuate a room. They don't have to attract the eye and be too obvious, as this small subdued statue shows.

The traditional Bagua mirror is an important part of Feng Shui decor and design. This authentic Chinese Bagua mirror features the traditional 8 sided trigram frame, and the concave reflective surface to reverse negative energy. Made of shiny metal rather than glass, the Bagua mirror is tough enough to weather the elements without breaking.
The Bagua mirror is always used on the outside of your home or office, unless you are in an apartment where you can not access the outside walls of the building. In that case, you would hang the bagua mirror in the window facing out.
Placement of the mirror depends on which Feng Shui cure is needed. If you place it on the out side of your door, you deflect Sha Chi (negative energy) trying to enter. If a neighboring building has a corner pointing at yours building, that is considered a “poison arrow” that brings Sha Chi. The cure is then to put a Bagua mirror on the outside wall of your building where the poison arrow would hit, to deflect the Sha Chi. If you live at a T junction, or other type on intersection, you may need to hang a Bagua mirror on a tree trunk or external wall to deflect the Sha Chi from the road.
This Bagua mirror is so affordable, you can buy as many as you need to cure your Feng Shui problems.
They make great gifts too!

Mirrors can be a great way to add a feeling of space to any room, yet at times they may take away from the intimacy you may want to have there. One great solution is a screen of mirrors, which you can choose if and when to place at which room. This screen will hide one side, creating privacy, while creating more room elsewhere.

The three panel divider, with its antique style mahogany frame can fit well into any large room that needs the option for temporary separation. It works well in the bedroom, where the mirror side can be useful for creating a nice private dressing area. It can also be used whenever you need to create a more private sleeping space, breaking a larger room into more intimate corners. When no longer in need, this unit is easy to fold up and store away.

When you combine solid wood, graceful classic lines and a cherry finish, you get that distinguished look that is good enough for royalty. This night stand is not an original Louis Phillipe, but it provides a good example of how period furniture, or furniture inspired by them can create the right atmosphere in a bedroom.

Bedrooms are made for relaxation, so the calming effect of this furniture style can be just perfect. It may not be the focus of the room, but it does accent it. Make sure you balance it out with the right fabrics and textures in the room, to avoid a room that is too formal (unless of course it's what your aiming for with your design).
This is the kind of furniture that stands the test of time, both in terms of style and functionality. Quality storage, including a felt lined jewelry drawer, and personal space for you to place your belongings as you go to sleep.
