- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- Living in a two bedroom apartment converted into three in New York City doesnât leave a lot of common living area to display and store items. Although my room is small, I get a lot of utility out of the space - a place to rest, a place to store, and a place to display artwork and other objects I love.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- Donât try to tackle a list of projects at once. I had a list of DIY projects I wanted to accomplish, and I found myself getting frustrated and overwhelmed by all of them. Start with the small stuff and move up. There are still a couple of things I want to do in the space, but Iâm happy with the progress Iâve made so far.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- I tend to hoard and refuse to throw things away unless Iâve thought it through, my closet can get a little crowded. I already had one classic dresser and I didnât want to bring a similar piece of furniture into the room. I now use a TV console I had from an old apartment to store clothing, it adds another shape to the space.

She should add a headboard.
Love the blanket at the foot of the bed!
(New York, North Carolina? Seems like an awful lot of editorial misses these days.)
Yes, yes, yes! this apartment has "it!" Ms Veena, I hope you take this. You're apartment has such personalilty and you are not afraid of mixing it up.
I have a larger bedroom than I need. I like my bedroom to be snug and cosy and easy to pick up.
My bed is simple: four flat pillows (my husband is a pillow hog), fitted sheet, and duvet with cover. No flat sheets, no fancy this or that. It takes me less than a minute to make my bed in the morning. PERFECT!
I don't need a sofa, armchairs, a TV or computer or anything like that. Just a nice big window so I can wake up to natural light and my simple bed. I don't want a lot of open floor space in there--a decent sized closet to hide all my cra, um, I mean, my wardrobe, sure, but a "lounging area" would just go unused.
Hey, I have little kids. :)
i love the little footboard!! so cute!! a headboard would look great though, cover that wire. :)
