Bedroom plants, can or cannot
Hi guys, my parents and teachers have always taught me that it's not good to put plants in the bedroom because they take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide during the night when we sleep. Can I get some advice and experience from those who have plants in their bedroom?

Terrace revamp
Comments (9)I love your design I have a similar terrace that I always thought to install a trellis, but was never sure how it would look and yours looks great. On the floor a wanted to install the interlocking wood squares, but I'm afraid that they are too high maintenance. Any comments?...See MoreWhat colour should I select as my curtain?

Comments (3)I would definitely consider an off white colour as this will be a safe, and probably more attractive option with the colours your stated on your bed. However the sheen may not go well with the green and white laminate, if the chandelier go well with the decor of the room then I think going for a sheen finish could easily finish off the room! However if not it could really make your room have two contrasting style schemes. Off white would also look good, but if you like a bit a glam, then a sheen finish is a fantastic option! What other stuff do you have in your room? Is it possible to upload a picture as many 'minds' can make light work lol. We cannot really comment on adding things to brighten it up but I am sure there are designers on Houzz that can help. :)...See Morei am bored with the look of my home!
Comments (26)Hi. It's looking really good and you've done well with the bookshelves! ! I love the new sofa! I would say just a tad more yellow if your husband can bear it, doesn't have to be solid yellow. I'd add something else on the left shelves (I'd move one shelf of photos to the right hand shelving and swap for some books), maybe a ginger jar if you can get an old one. Maybe a patterned throw or cushion for your wooden chair and a small yellow throw for the bench just draped over the corner. Table idea sounds great. Are you happy with it? I think it's made such a big difference...See MoreTheir Stories Behind Our Story - before and after!
Comments (2)Constance and the Creative Mind Design team, you've done an amazing job in restoring a heritage house, and shining a light on a precious family story! The original house is clearly well built for the environment: large overhanging roof, windows tucked neatly under. Love the rusticated exterior and the big arches in the porte cochere too. Haunted only to those who don't know the story! I also love that the original house has been updated to serve the needs of the current, without forgetting the past. Those pink mosaic tiles and wrought iron grilles fit in very nicely in the new house. The airwell seems to bridge the new and old worlds perfectly too....See More

7 years agoWell, they aren't wrong about plants competing with you for oxygen, but research have definitely shown that there are in fact plants that are recommended to be placed beside your beds for better sleep!
Air purifying plants not only absorb odours and moulds that can impact breathing and lung health, they also beautify your place and makes you feel at ease ;)
Plants recommended for aiding sleep includes jasmine, lavender, snake plant, aloe vera, spider plant, english ivy, peace lily and golden pothos (money plant, as recommended above). They are also shade-loving plants, thus are most suitable for bedrooms.
One of the convenience of having plants in your bedroom, in my opinion, is that they benefit from air-conditioning! I do have marble queen pothos, philodendrons, snake plants and peperomias right beside my bed and I probably only water them once every week (some even lesser than that!). It really shows that you don't necessarily have to water them daily ;)

7 years agoThey still produce the small amount of oxygen at the night also. That depend on how big is your room and the amount of plants .If you worried about CO2 problem,I think you still can use air plants .
