What Your Bedroom Can Reveal About YOU!

For many people, things like looks, character and demeanor are what count on a first date. You look at the person in front of you and judge them based on what you see and perceive. However, a look into this person's bedroom would probably be much more revealing, since bedrooms can say a lot about us and our personalities.

Today: What your bedroom says about you

In this article, we will show you exactly what your bedroom says about you. 

Sure, nobody would let a stranger into their own bedroom without further ado. But why not? Maybe you've never consciously thought about it. The fact is, however, that the room we sleep in is the most intimate place in our home. From a psychological point of view, this can be explained easily: For many people, the bedroom is the last retreat we have at our disposal when the stress of everyday life or a relationship becomes overwhelming. The bedroom is the best place we go in order to be alone and think things through. Even when we are physically battered and feel weak, our natural instinct is to go to bed. When we are asleep, our body is defenseless and in need of protection. The bedroom, therefore, symbolizes protection, a place for intimate conversations, relationships and relaxation. How you choose to furnish this room is therefore extremely interesting in terms of what it reveals about your personality. For example, what is on your walls is revealing. If they are covered with certificates, trophies or medals, you are a sporty type who wants to visualize successful moments in your life every day. You are proud of what you have achieved and, at the same time, use reminders of past achievements as an incentive to continue doing your best.It’s good there’s something you feel passionate about the memories of which accompany you throughout your life.The same applies to vacation photos. If the wall above your bed is full of them, then you likely live for travel, see the world as your home and are an open-minded, culturally interested and cosmopolitan person. Your vacation pictures also reveal a lot about your social life. Do you travel with friends, or are you more of a solo explorer when you navigate the globe? If there are rarely other people in your pictures, this could mean that you are still in a process of self-discovery, or that independence is very important to you. On the other hand, if you are never alone in your photos, it could mean that you are a sociable type who likes to be around people and has a higher need for closeness in a relationship. Posters of lonely beaches and gorgeous sunsets can indicate that you are a dreamy person with secret longings. You can have deep conversations and like to talk about all the great things that life has to offer. For some people, the bedroom also serves as a place to display collectibles. A bottle or model car collection are sometimes put on display here. In this case, you’re a hunter-gatherer with a lot of appreciation for a single thing and a patient desire to accumulate it. In any case, the bedroom reveals something about one's identity. But a look into this private space can also provide some insight into a person's habits and behavioral patterns. If there are socks and other things lying around on the floor, it’s safe to assume that the person in question is a bit untidy or feels comfortable with imperfection and untidiness. The tidy type would never allow their bedroom to be a mess. If order is important to you, you will ensure that your clothes are stowed away in the closet and the bed is made daily. Don't you have the usual utensils, such as an alarm clock, a water bottle or earplugs, on your bedside table? Do you always have a glass of wine ready to go and a pack of biscuits there instead?Your bedroom reflects your daily habits. So on closer inspection, one would certainly discover even more clues as to what you seem to love doing again and again in your day to day life. Lots of indoor plants and atmospheric lighting can also give something away about your personality. Highly rational people tend to prefer spartan furnishings and cool white light. Emotional people on the other hand prefer warm white light and an atmosphere that is less sober and simple than their more rational counterparts. For those with a particularly intense emotional life, the room’s decorations can verge on being over the top. If you leave your window a little open every day, it can be assumed that you also value a health-promoting lifestyle. If the curtains are drawn not only at night but also during the day, you probably tend to use the bedroom as a retreat and enjoy peace and quiet here. Having a TV in the bedroom can be a point of significant contention. Some people enjoy entertainment in the evening and need the box on to fall asleep. For others, however, a TV in the bedroom is a disturbing and annoying addition that prevents them from reviewing the day and falling asleep undisturbed. It is also noteworthy how many things that have a calming or stimulating effect on the soul can be found in the room. Are there things that should motivate you? For example, a wall tattoo with a nice saying or a photo of yourself with something or someone that makes you happy. Buddhist artifacts such as a Buddha statue, incense sticks or stones may have a calming effect on the mind and reveal that you have a spiritual side to you. Candles also say something about you. Candlelight is preferred by romantics and those who long for natural light. If these or similar things are missing, it could be that you have not yet recognized your emotional needs and do not know exactly how to balance stress and inner turmoil in your everyday life. This could also be recognized by the fact that different, mismatched styles and decorations can be found jumbled in your bedroom. You lack orientation and the clarity to pick something and go with it. Our brief conclusion: Not everyone is aware of what their bedroom can say about them. It is in fact the most interesting place in the entire home. It reflects someone's identity traits, sheds light on their behavior and provides insight into their emotional needs. While some things, such as wall decorations in the form of posters, photos or certificates, are obvious, other aspects require a closer look. Based on the furnishings and atmosphere in a room, you can work out how well you might fit together with another person and what their values are. It is normally easily recognizable whether someone lives well and in a health-conscious way. If you weren't aware how telling someone’s bedroom can be, walk into yours with a neutral gaze and wonder what someone who’s just met you might think. Maybe you’ll realize something about yourself from this thought experiment. That's it for today.
