Our bedrooms are our sanctuaries. It is not just the place we lie down on our beds to sleep or where we have our clothes and jewellery. Books, family and friend photos, special mementos all get their own special place in the often four-wall room. It is the place we listen to our favourite songs when we feel joy, sadness, love, and heartbreak. Everything from the colour of the walls to the texture of a favourite blanket, folks put a lot of thought and care into their bedroom regardless of how small or large the space may be. The bedroom disconnects all of us from the noise and movement of the outside world. It is the place to meditate, to make important as well as trivial decisions. John Thackwray knows the importance one’s bedroom all too well. The photographer has visited over 1,200 bedrooms all over the world to capture their essence in his new book appropriately titled *My Room Project.*
