I asked an interior designer what I can ditch from my bedroom – these were the 8 things she said to edit out

Three bedrooms one with rattan headboard and green walls, one with dark blue walls and built in storage one with neutral walls and wooden furniture.

Bedrooms are meant to function as many things. A place to unwind, a place to get dressed, a place to be romantic, to read, to wake up and feel energized to get on with the day. Because of this, they often end up having a lot of things in them, to serve all those needs.

But the San Francisco-based designer Regan Baker, founder of Regan Baker Design, knows how to put the perfect peaceful-yet-personality-filled space together, and it's as much about what to leave out as what to include.
