7 Tips for Creating a Peaceful Bedroom Setting

7 Tips for Creating a Peaceful Bedroom Setting

Creating a space that feels beautiful isn’t just about the aesthetic.

More importantly, it’s about the feeling that you bring into your home and routine. 

We have been attempting to refine our rituals to find moments of peace, and today, we’re talking about ten little things that have helped us create a calming bedroom setting.

No. 1: Add a candle on the nightstand 

Curating an experience in a space is all about igniting the senses, and a candle is the perfect way to bring your favorite scent into a room. Something about a candle creates a warm ambient feeling to any space, and we style them in nearly every room.

No. 1: Ground the look with a doormat

Start by grounding your front door look with an expressional doormat to welcome your guests and catch debris before they end up in your entryway! We love to layer an indoor/outdoor rug underneath a traditional doormat to add more dimension.

No. 1: Start with detailed pieces

Begin by grounding your space with outdoor dining pieces that bring the feeling of the indoors outside with thoughtful designer details. When we design our outdoor pieces with McGee & Co., we’re always considering what each piece looks like from every angle so that no matter how it’s oriented, it will look intentional.
