When considering our bedroom's design, we are challenged by two imperatives: an interest in making the space beautiful and the need to be sure it is a calming sanctuary. These goals needn't be mutually exclusive. By using simple methods like calming bedding color and inviting lighting, we can create spaces that are simultaneously relaxing and stunning enough to spark joy.
Kerry Washington leads a masterclass in this principle with her gray bedding. We spotted the actress's light grey duvet and pillow covers in an Instagram post where she is meditating on her bed. Meditation seems like an intuitive action, given that experts say gray is the best bed sheet color to promote sleep. Of course, it's best when paired with cozy sleepwear; we love Washington's gray silk robe Casablanca Robe from Olivia von Halle (available at Net-a-Porter).
