Vinod, Bedrooms are a relaxing place, where you should have as less distractions as possible. Having a big mirror facing you could keep you engaged before sleeping and may thus cause a little late sleeping. However, we don't throw out the mobile for the same reason ..do we ;) While you are not in a deep sleep and if you suddenly get up (your senses are only half awake) first thing you see is a reflection of yourself and that too in a dishevelled condition it may startle, shock or even scare you depending on the lighting condition. This may happen more with elderly people. None of this could be proven to be 100% true, so take it with a pinch of salt. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

Nadia, You need to provide some more snaps showing the entire room, including the location of the beam, its height & clear height of the slab etc. One idea could be to extend the width of the beam by just about 25 mm with gypsum board on either sides, at the bottom level, with a right angular vertical of 25 mm as well & provide LED lighting strip for indirect lighting...

Hello Houzzers! After a hectic day's job, we all need (and crave) to have a good night's sleep... don't we? The designer/architect must have helped you in setting up the layout, the wall colours, temperature control etc. for a comfortable experience. But what extra do you do to create your own personal bedroom retreat that makes you feel cosy and calm? I cannot go to sleep in a cluttered bedroom. I choose cleanliness over everything. What do you do? Do you use diffusers for fragrance? Do you opt for comfy linen? Or do you play slow music to bed? Vote for your top hack and share details in the comments section to help other Houzzers! Thanks!
