As one of the most personal spaces in a home, the bedroom should strike a balance between tranquil and chic. It’s the place you go to escape the rush of the day, recharge for the next, and dream about what’s to come. Because it's where you spend almost a third of your time, the bedroom should be one of the first areas to focus on when decorating and a direct reflection of your impeccable taste and style.
The key to decorating your bedroom is to pick products and materials that spark joy and promote relaxation, like charming vintage finds, soft area rugs and linens, and romantic lighting. After all, the space needs to be comfy and livable over anything else.
