My husband and I moved recently. In our new home I made a few key changes to our sleeping habits that have been amazing! Mainly, the removal of all things related to the outside world.
In our old home, I tended to work in bed. I think this lead to my mind racing until I passed out every night with things I needed to do... Creating a better sleep environment for myself, was key to making over the more relaxed and focused me. Overall, I wanted to slip into a more laid back and relaxing lifestyle. I wanted to create a stress free home that opened itself up to meditation, work, and yoga.
Our bedroom has a cottage style, shabby chic decor (one that I have favored over the years, and has moved with me in all three of the homes that my husband and I have shared). With this last move we no longer have a television. I limited the photos. With a rule of no photos of anyone besides my husband and myself, and even then I only have one of us.
I also enjoy artwork with no people, in the bedroom. For me, the artwork is mostly flowers (I find them soothing). I also have a painting that I can escape into hung over my bed. I decorated the room with keepsakes form our travels, all of which remind me of happy times.
I hope that some of the things I have suggested allow you to create a more relaxing bedroom, no matter where you live! Btw, the picture is not my own bedroom...but how ideal! All about the visualization!

P.S. (August 2012) This post is from 2010, and reading over it, I am happy to see how much I have grown in my Feng Shui knowledge. As I continue to research the ancient art of Feng Shui, I have been able to improve my home environment. For me, white furniture in the bedroom brings a feeling of peace. Yet, I have since learned that it is bad Feng Shui to have a mirror reflecting the bed (as seen in the picture above). Confirmed, after just finishing a recent episode to the Blog Talk Radio show Psychic Teachers on Feng Shui. In that episode Samantha Fey stated that she has heard conflicting things on mirrors in the bedroom. As such, she avoids them in this space all together. For me it felt right when she stated this. Therefore, I would say it is best to avoid mirrors in this space.
It feels good to clear spaces of clutter. Donate, purge, and throw away constantly! It will keep the energy in your life flowing! And you can never sage a space too much! If you don't use it, loose it...
