How To Create A Calming Bedroom Space, According To Zara Home's Spring Look Book

Zara Home

If the general population's current obsession with Marie Kondo's Netflix show is any indication, it's safe to say that almost everyone is trending toward a simpler, more serene design aesthetic at home. And if that's the style you're hoping to create in your spaces this season, you're in luck, because Zara Home's Spring 2019 collection is all about curating pieces that create a sense of calm and comfort — because shouldn't that be what home is all about?

Zara Home just dropped its first Spring/Summer 2019 editorial, and it's full of affordable yet luxurious home furnishings and accessories that are ideal for creating a feeling of zen from the moment you step through the door. Just how does the brand suggest decorating for such a vibe? The answer is simple, clean lines, natural fibers and textures, and luxe yet understated finishing touches.

And while the collection boasts a curation of items for nearly every room in your home, the bulk of the buys are centered on creating a calm, inviting bedroom — which makes sense, considering it's the space you most likely settle down in when trying to catch some zen. From cozy bedding to uncomplicated decorative elements, Zara Home lays out everything you need to cut through the noise (that just leaves eliminating clutter up to you).

For the upcoming season, Zara's suggesting simple, yet luxe bedding in crisp, neutral shades of white, cream, beige, and grey. Take your pick between cool, breezy linen or silky satin sheet sets, each $99.90 for a queen-sized bed. They'll keep cool to the touch throughout the night, so you'll wake up feeling calm and rested.

Embellish your bed with simple throw pillows, like this checked cotton decorative pillow, $35.90, and a sumptuously soft cashmere throw blanket, $399. Keep the color palette uncomplicated and cool by sticking to the same shades across each element.

To add enough interest to the room — after all, serene and simple doesn't equal basic — look for decor that's derived from nature then given a subtly glam touch. A black marble nightstand, $199, with brushed gold legs feels refined, but unfussy. And a woven jute rug, $319, feels natural underfoot, while grounding the space and pulling it all together. Display some fresh-cut greenery on your bedside table in an asymmetrical glass vase, like this one for $35.90, or place a potted plant atop your dresser. The greens give off a fresh, lively vibe, and tie in well with the rest of your natural, peace-inducing pieces.

Distract yourself from winter's currently-enduring reign by getting a head start on sprucing up your home for spring with Zara Home's chic and comfortable collection. Keep scrolling to shop some of the best pieces for the bedroom, below, to make a space even Marie Kondo would find serene.
