Have you ever stopped to think about where you spend a good third of your day? If your mind goes to your bed, you are 100 percent correct.

Given the amount of time you spend in your bedroom, careful selections should be made concerning every aspect of your room, and more specifically, your bed. Your bedroom should be a personal space for rest and relaxation … a sanctuary.

Surely everyone has a preference when it comes to the size of the bed one sleeps on. Believe it or not, there are adults who prefer the confines of a twin bed; others prefer a full size and there are some who can't find enough space in a queen or king size.

Bed sizes are also related to whether you have a spouse or significant other and whether you both sleep in the same room. Again, your bed selection is an extremely personal choice.

In most bedrooms, the bed is the focal point of the room. The style you select for your bed frame and bedding will be the determining factor in the decorative feeling of your room.

A four-poster bed in wood or a bed with an upholstered canopy will likely make you feel like you're staying in a nice bed and breakfast, while a sleek geometric headboard can remind you of a hip boutique hotel.

Almost anything can function as a headboard. An antique church window or fireplace mantle can give a room an architectural air and make the bed seem anchored into the room.

Others may opt for an upholstered headboard that is great for propping up to read in bed. A couple of wallpaper stripes can also imply a headboard and create a nice backdrop for your bedding.

There are no correct or incorrect approaches to designing a bed. The only important thing to keep in mind is your comfort.

I prefer all white cotton or linen sheets for my bedding, which some will consider formal and boring, but not I. I like the all-white look because it makes things easy to launder and bleach as necessary.

However, there are no formal rules when it comes to making your bed. You can choose to mix and match sheets that are complementary to each other for a look that is personal yet coordinated, or choose contrasting fabric colors and patterns for a more bohemian and informal look.

I will not prescribe a thread count for sheets, as the feel varies depending on the thread. All I suggest is that you are happy with the feel of your sheets because they are literally touching your skin while you sleep.

Finally, your pillows and how many of them you keep on your bed are entirely up to you. Generally, it should be one or two pillows per person, and a neck roll or other small pillow as a basic minimum. A good rule of thumb is a pair of pillows in shams, a pair of pillows in pillowcases and then the smaller pillow in a decorative fabric. These are some simple tips to make your bed inviting so you can sleep on it.

MADISON,Wis. (WMTV)-- The bed is the most important décor statement in a dorm room and a great way to reflect a student's personal style. Bed Bath & Beyond offers a wide assortment of bedding styles like Glam, Cozy NoMad, Relaxed Living and Americana, available at our everyday low prices.

Turn those wimpy dorm room mattresses into the best bed ever! Build a better bed by adding layers of comfort, support and protection with a mattress protector, topper, fiberbed, mattress pad and extra pillows.
The mattresses in most dorms require twin extra-long (TXL) sheets (which are 5" longer than normal twin sheets). Students can choose from luxe cotton, jersey or alternative fabrics in a variety of colors, patterns and price points. Remember: one sheet set is not enough! Students will need an extra set or two for laundry day.

Dorm rooms bring a whole new meaning to small space living, so when it comes to storage, every inch counts. Bed Bath & Beyond offers smart solutions to help maximize the space you do have, like under the bed, over the door and in the closet. For instance, try using an over-the-door shoe organizer to store T-shirts, cosmetics, toiletries, school supplies and more!

Get creative with closet space by thinking vertical. Small space savers like the Double Hang Closet Rod and Studio 3B™ Slim Grips™ Hangers can help you hang twice as much stuff!
Turn less into more. Our Shower Curtain with Mesh Pockets is a great way to store shower essentials without taking up extra shelf space.
Making a dorm room feel like home can be achieved by creating a cozy, laid back atmosphere infused with personal style. Add small, decorative pieces like a faux fur area rug, statement pillows or a fun wall tapestry for an instant pop of style.

The glow of a lamp can change the whole look of a room and provide students with additional light for studying. Consider a lamp that doubles as a charging station like the Studio 3B™ USB Desk Lamp.
Ottomans or fold up chairs like the Modern Butterfly Chair are a great way to provide extra seating for friends without taking up too much space. When not in use, stow the folded chair away or place a tray on the ottoman for an easy table.

Adding wall décor creates an instant change in atmosphere. Select fun items that can be easily removed from the walls like inspirational artwork, mirrors or stick on wall paper. 3M Command™ Hooks are a necessity for damage-free hanging!
Maximize the underbed space while also providing a grounding charging station with multi-functional bed lifts that have a power outlet and USB charger.

Charge and protect electrical devices from voltage spikes by using a surge protector. The PowerCurve+ Surge Protector has 5 rotating outlets and 2 USB ports to fit almost any plug.
Tech it out with a Google Home Mini, providing hands free help for a smart room.

As the AstroTwins put it, water signs need the bedroom to be an "emotional charging station"—a comfortable, peaceful, and spiritual escape where you can feel all those feelings and recharge after a long day out in the world.

Cancer: You're the nurturer of the zodiac, but don't forget that you need to be nurtured every now and again too. Keeping this beautiful book of poetry and positive affirmations on your nightstand will help.

Scorpio: Scorpios are thought to have super powerful intuition. Tend to yours by meditating with a beautiful scent diffusing in the background.

Pisces: Music fuels everything you do, so it might be worth it to treat yourself to a sound system that will lull you into sweet dreams.

Next up: We've got the perfect houseplant for your zodiac sign.
