eading, relaxing, exer-
cising, and simply
escaping the outside
world top the list of
activities the bedroom
accommodates. Whatever functions it
performs, as a retreat the bedroom is
unbeatable. "As a room deserving
personal detail and design, it is
unmatched," says author Brad Mee.
Mee's newest book, Bedrooms:
Design is in the Details (Sterling,
$27.95), shows you how to turn your
bedroom into a private sanctuary.
Mee writes, "To create your per-
fect bedroom, you must first define
its style." Do you want a romantic
feel to your bedroom, or do you feel
more comfortable with a clean, tai-
lored look? The first part of Mee's
book asks you these questions to help
you determine the style of your ideal
bedroom, whether it be sophisticated,
relaxed, rich, modern or exotic.
Next, he teaches you how to mix
and match floors, ceilings, walls, fur-
niture and accessories with your own
personal touch. Mee not only has
ideas for your perfect master suite,
but he also gives creative ideas to
construct your perfect guest room,
child's room and adjoining "off the
bedroom spaces," such as kitch-
enettes, closets, balconies and patios.
"Behind the development of
today's multifaceted bedroom is the
power of detail," says Mee. So
whether you're creating a sophisticat-
ed new master suite, or a fun new
room for your child, Mee provides the
inspiration to turn each room into
your own, personal oasis.
