This may come as a surprise, but did you know that we spend approximately one-third of our lives in bed?
\nAll the more reason to establish your bedroom as a welcoming haven that offers the perfect start (and finish)
\nto your day. Here are seven easy ways to refresh your sleep space for a calm, comfortable, sanctuary that
\nyou’ll love waking up to.<\/p>\n

1. Clear the Clutter<\/h2>\n

One of the easiest ways to give an immediate boost to your boudoir is to get organized. If you have items piled on
\nsurfaces throughout your room, it’s very difficult \u2013 in fact, near to impossible \u2013 to unwind amongst the chaos.
\nTo create a calming environment, invest in a few key pieces to stow clothing and other essentials out of sight and in
\nan orderly fashion. Consider furniture that serves multiple functions to maximize storage like our Dovetail Sideboard<\/a>.<\/u>
\nThis beautifully crafted cabinet discretely houses electronic devices and other items behind closed doors. The best part?
\nIf you decide to redo your bedroom at a future point in time, this versatile piece can find a new home in the dining room,
\nden or home office.<\/p>\n

\"Dovetail
\nMultipurpose furniture, such as sideboards, can easily provide storage \u2013 even in the bedroom. <\/em><\/p>\n

2. From the Ground Up<\/h2>\n

Whether set atop bare floors or layered over wall-to-wall carpeting, an area rug<\/a><\/u> defines a space by placing a visual
\nframe around your furniture.<\/p>\n

Sizing It Up <\/strong>\u00ad\u00ad\u2013 Choose a rug that extends at least a foot from all sides of your bed. If you have a large master suite,
\nopt for a floor covering that extends to include your nightstands.<\/p>\n

Pile It On <\/strong>\u2013 Styling a smaller rug atop a large neutral area rug instantly changes the dynamic of the room by bringing
\ndepth and visual interest to the mix.<\/p>\n

Material Matters <\/strong>\u2013 Soft and cozy, wool’s forgiving fibers bounce back into shape quickly for long-lasting durability.
\nNatural fiber rugs like jute or bamboo are ideal for high-traffic areas and bring an effortlessly chic feel to your space.<\/p>\n

Highs and Lows <\/strong>\u2013 Low-pile rugs are easy to maintain and highly durable, but their high-pile counterparts turn up
\nthe luxe factor while adding instant warmth to your space.<\/p>\n

3. Consider a Collection<\/h2>\n

One of the simplest ways to bring a cohesive look to your bedroom is to purchase pieces from the same assortment,
\nlike the bedroom furnishings in our Modern Farmhouse Collection<\/a><\/u>. Once you’ve chosen a style, you can easily introduce
\npersonality to your space by adding a few favorites for an eclectic point of view. And don’t be afraid to mix things up,
\nespecially when it comes to materials. For instance, pairing all-white wood furnishings with a natural fiber headboard
\nis the perfect way to impart the casually luxurious look that’s synonymous with the Florida lifestyle.<\/p>\n

4. Our Favorite Sidekicks<\/h2>\n

\nNightstands add balance to your bedroom\u2019s layout, as well as convenient storage.

Like a personal valet, a nightstand is an essential bedside companion that makes multitasking effortless. These hardworking
\npieces bring balance to your room’s layout while providing storage for nighttime essentials that are conveniently within arm’s
\nreach, along with plenty of surface space to hold a lamp up top. Choose one that’s at least as tall as your mattress for height
\nthat’s set at a usable level. Then, consider your needs. Drawers offer concealed storage to tuck items away, while open shelves
\nprovide a space to hold stacks of books or decorative objects.<\/p>\n

5. Layer It On<\/h2>\n
