A DREAMY RESPITE TO SEEK SOLACE FROM THE CHAOS

The items we choose to surround ourselves with are profoundly intimate. Every piece you collect tells a story and lives on in our homes in deeply personal ways. It’s why we take the art of curation so seriously, but we also know how time-consuming it can be.

If there is one room we turn to when we need to seek solace from the world, it's the bedroom. This sleep chamber is our respite, our cozy sanctuary to retreat when we need to reflect and unwind in peace and quiet.

Tips on how to style a zen bedroom:

KEEP IT TONAL

The secret to a dreamy boudoir is keeping the color palette minimal. Neutral tones ensure a stylish yet serene sentiment so you can relax and unwind without distraction. As Athena wrote in her book, Live Beautiful: "Neutral, on neutral, on texture, on texture, can in fact be rich and layered."

MINIMIZE CLUTTER

All zen bedrooms have one thing in common: limited distractions. Fewer obstructions, less stress. A clutter-free zone is key to evoking calm and we all need that in the fast-paced lives we lead. Without visual disturbances, you can truly bring your attention away from work or life's burdens and simply focus on being in the present.

ADD TEXTURE & SCULPTURAL

A monochromatic palette will bring about that zen quality you're after in the bedroom but you don't want it to look boring. Add layers of similar neutral tones together in varied materials, surface qualities, and forms. Despite their similar hues, the tactile and sculptural nature of these pieces will add warmth, depth, and visual dimension to the space.

ADD WHITE SPACE

A zen bedroom needs breathing room which isn't always easy if you have a small space, but this just means you might need to be selective with the pieces you bring in. Make your room all about the bed, focus on your nighttime rituals, and add elements that will enhance your sleep. Approach it with a minimalist mindset and watch the dreamy Zs ensue.
