Is there a mom out there who doesn\u2019t crave a space she can call her own?<\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Virginia Woolf said it all when she stated: \u201ca woman must have money and a room of her own…\u201d She was referring to women who want to write fiction.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to write fiction but I do want a space where I can read, think, do crossword puzzles, anything… just so long as, once in a while, I don\u2019t have to hear: \u201cMOOOOOM!\u201d I also want a door that locks. Just me? I didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

In reality, we can\u2019t all have \u2018a room of one\u2019s own\u2019 but you can certainly make<\/strong> a room your own and a good option is the bedroom. Your own little mom cave where you can sit after the kids have gone to bed and enjoy the peace and quiet.<\/p>\n

No matter what your style preference is for your bedroom, we can all agree that it needs to whisper \u2018calm\u2019 to you. We\u2019ve outlined a few different options to suit different spaces here for you to peruse, dream about, and \u2026 make happen!<\/p>\n

Mom Oasis Style #1: When Space Is At A Premium<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not every bedroom has room for a chaise longue for you to drape yourself on, arm thrown back in dramatic woe (does anyone do that anymore?) so the key to a making a smaller space dreamy is to have the perfect bed.<\/p>\n

A sleigh bed is the epitome of cozy and romantic. Imagine it covered with 300 count sheets, a half a dozen pillows and a luxurious cashmere throw. A quick visit to your local linen store can have you well on your way to cozy.<\/p>\n

!nspire tip: The key to a zen feeling in the bedroom is muted tones. If you start splashing vibrant purples and eye popping reds everywhere, you might find yourself feeling less relaxed than you would like.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mom Oasis Style #2: When You Have A Little More Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Having a place to read that isn\u2019t your bed is ideal. A small sofa or a comfortable chair with an ottoman are lovely additions to any larger spaced room. Depending on the style of your room, a fabric wing back or a stylish faux-leather might be the ticket.<\/p>\n

Add a side table for your cup of tea and some decent floor lighting for reading and you will complete the area beautifully.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Mom Oasis Style #3: Style For A Suite<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The perfect mom oasis would include a beautiful bed, vanity, dresser, and seating area. Not unlike this Erika bed with gorgeous, warm accessories and lighting.<\/p>\n

An even more impressive transformation would be to include transformations to make the closet of your dreams. Are you all about shoes? Handbags? Clothes and more clothes?<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to believe that we could all have this:<\/em><\/p>\n

But just in case that isn\u2019t entirely realistic, you can still give yourself a sense of luxury without winning the lottery.<\/p>\n

Focus on elements that are important: lighting, mirrors and cupboards \/ shoe racks. With these in place, even a small closet can be manageable and organized.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0A hanging lightbulb is not attractive: place some lighting in the closet that is more muted. You can get motion sensor LED lights that will flick on when the door is opened.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0Add a mirror or two to create a usable space for trying clothes combinations or for that last check before dashing out the door.<\/p>\n

* \u00a0Racks, drawers, and even the back of the door can become an ideal space for a hanging shoe rack. Maximize the internal space that is available with closet organizers and hooks for bags and scarves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Something more like this?<\/em><\/p>\n

Whatever the size of your oasis, it needs to be entirely comfortable, calming and cozy.<\/p>\n
