Comfort, utility and easy care are the key points for the Practical bedroom. These are the down-to-earth, functional people in our world. They’re the ones who are quite happy to accept all the bits and pieces offered to them by relatives and friends, even though the pieces may not match anything else. Being practical, they always find a way to incorporate them into their homes. Practicals are collectors and often hoarders, who don’t like to throw out something which may be of use in the future. They are the bargain hunters of the universe. As material security is important to Practicals, hoarding possessions gives a feeling of security and comfort.
The Practical bedroom is always comfortable though not particularly soft and cosy. It is not always immaculately neat and tidy, but always clean, well kept and ordered in its appearance. Simple and uncomplicated, with any unnecessary items removed is how Practicals like it.
Furniture is basic and only in the room if there is a purpose for it. A bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and maybe bedside tables are all that are necessary. Sometimes even the bedside tables are deemed unnecessary. Furniture is usually of natural timber, since that doesn’t require any maintenance except dusting and an occasional polish.
Fabrics are patterned, in small to medium size designs, so they don’t show dirt and stains, and they are wash-and-wear so there’s no ironing. Frills and lace are minimal, if at all, because they need careful laundering. A bedspread is often preferred to a doona as it is a nuisance having to remove the doona cover all the time for washing. On the other hand, some Practicals prefer a doona because it is easier to make the bed with it than with blankets and a bedspread.
Curtains are sometimes used because Practicals do like their privacy. They are not the exhibitionists of this world and don’t relish the idea that someone could see into their bedroom. Male Practicals often have only a blind on the window.
