The Old Worldliness of this breezy, airy bedroom is heightened by the alarm clock, with its vintage style that doesn't disrupt the scheme with an overly electronic look. Modernists who prefer to wake up to music from an ipod (rather than screaming bells) should look into getting a chic dock like this: http://takeipod.com/accessories/vers-15r-hand-crafted-wood-radio-alarm-clock-for-ipod-and-iphone/, which won't interfere with a well-designed room.

Smelling clean. Freshly washed linens can make sleeping much more pleasurable. Change your linens at least every week and add a soothing fragrance to them when washing. When it's time to sleep, the smell and cleanliness of your sheets will help you fall asleep.

7. Fresh flowers. Few elements broadcast a warm welcome in the way that flowers do. Keep the arrangement simple — stick a few cut blooms from your garden or the market in a pitcher or jug, or choose one standout blossom for a bud vase. Just try to avoid flowers with overpowering scents that can lead to headaches. And if your guest suffers from hay fever, a pretty, nonallergenic green plant might be a better choice.

HearingWhen placing furniture, keep in mind proximity to a window. Easy access to calming sounds from outside can really improve a room.

Choose a filling. Your preference is as individual as you are, but there are three major types of fillings.If you like to feel cradled, you might choose a malleable goose down or feather filling. These materials retain warmth and help to keep you toasty on cold nights. On good-quality versions, look for an indicator called fill power, which refers to how much filling the pillow has (the more filling, the plumper and longer lasting the pillow will be). One advantage to down: It lacks the sharp ends of feathers, which can poke through the pillowcase and prickle your skin. Allergy sufferers who want the comfort of down or feathers can buy special hypoallergenic pillow covers to alleviate reactions.

Engage the 5 Senses for Decorating Appeal Create positively pleasing rooms by bringing sights, sounds and more that soothe or stimulate as you desire Have you ever thought about your favorite room in your house? Does it relax you, wake you up or make you feel contemplative? A thoughtfully designed room can have a calming effect, stimulate memory or refresh us. Chances are that your favorite room evokes positive emotions by appealing to one or more of the five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell or touch. Keeping these senses in mind is not difficult or even expensive when you're putting a room together. It's just simply part of the details of a room. These details can be included in the smallest of rooms or make the scale of a large room feel more human. I always try to keep these five senses in mind when designing a room for someone else, a key step in making that room feel more personal. Here are some tricks for designing your rooms with these five senses in mind. Hearing When placing furniture, keep in mind proximity to a window. Easy access to calming sounds from outside can really improve a room. In the landscape, try to include a water element. Small fountains are easy to incorporate and will create a soothing sound you can enjoy both outside and inside, through a window.
