The bed is the most important object in the room and often the most neglected. We collapse into it after long days working, relying on a convergence of all the right elements to give us that elusive but essential forty winks. Most of us leave it behind again in the morning without a moment’s thought, running hurriedly out of the room while the covers sag and the sheets wrinkle. Bedrooms, too, are in danger of becoming the least resolved spaces in our homes: catchalls for clean and dirty laundry, overflowing wardrobes, a graveyard of half-read books and a tangled mess of chargers and blinking devices. Just about functional, but in a state of aesthetic disarray. We’re calling it now, though. The bed is being reclaimed. This is the year of bed-styling, bougie vallances, sumptuous and unexpected fabric choices. Careful and respectful decisions about how to make the end-of-day ritual feel worthy and delicious. And with that, we’re reestablishing the bedroom as the home’s emotional center. The place for peace, meditation and resetting the nervous system. A sanctuary. What distinguishes this new mood from the beige-heavy, slightly undone minimalism of the past decade is a return to intention. As Tamara Kaye-Honey, of design conglomerate House of Honey, puts it, “We’ve moved away from the undone… and back toward expression. People want their bedrooms to feel considered again.”
