Create a space that restores and recharges
Modern BEDROOM
BY MARIAM ABOUTAAM
The primary bedroom has quietly evolved into one of the most important spaces in the home. No longer just a place to sleep, it has become a personal retreat designed to restore energy, calm the mind and create distance from the constant noise of everyday life.
One of the most effective ways to create a bedroom that feels layered, calming and supportive of daily rituals is through texture, when multiple materials are introduced. Upholstered headboards, grasscloth wallcovering, tailored drapery, woven
throws and plush area rugs soften the architecture and create visual depth, bringing comfort to the room while elevating and refining the space.
Lighting is equally important. Layering ambient ceiling lights, bedside reading lamps and subtle accent lighting shifts the atmosphere depending on the time of day and need. When paired with thoughtful window treatments, lighting can also support natural circadian rhythms. Drapery that gently filters daylight in the morning and creates a cocooned environment in the evening helps the bedroom function as a space of rest and restoration.
Rather than treating the bedroom as one large open area, dividing it into functional zones carve out areas that support daily living. A small lounge nook or a discreet beverage station adds convenience and elevates rituals that start and end the day.
The relationship between the bedroom, the ensuite and the walkin closet is also critical. When these spaces are positioned thoughtfully, the flow between them feels effortless.
Ultimately, a well-designed bedroom should feel like a place where the outside world fades away. It should support rest, reflection and moments of stillness.
Design tips for a wellness-focused bedroom
1 2 3 4 5 6
Mix materials such as linen, wool, wood and soft upholstery to create warmth and depth.
A chaise or comfortable chair transforms the bedroom into more than a sleeping space. It becomes a place to pause, read or simply unwind.
A small station for coffee or tea adds quiet luxury and supports slower morning and evening rituals.
Combine ambient lighting, bedside lamps and subtle accent lights to shift the mood of the room throughout the day and to support natural circadian rhythms.
Keep sightlines open to natural light from windows whenever possible.
Position the bedroom, ensuite and walk-in closet so that daily routines feel effortless and intuitive.

Roommate living: How to deal with
replenishables
BY JACKIE MARCHILDON
Living with roommates has many benefits but it can get a little tricky if you don’t decide how to deal with the usual living costs that go along with rent. I’m talking about replenishables such as toilet paper, food, dish soap, light bulbs, paper towels, etc. The sooner you choose the best way for you and your roomies to buy this stuff, the better. It will help you avoid fighting over who uses the most toilet paper.
Take turns buying
This works if – and only if – everyone agrees to it. If not, it’s chaos. You probably don’t want to buy toilet paper and just assume your roommate will grab it next time, because that roommate might never buy any. Be clear – I’ll buy this pack; you buy the next.
Decide who buys what and for where if you’re going to take turns. Same goes for groceries, cleaning supplies and anything else you might share.
The slush fund
If you think it’s necessary, create a fund that you all contribute to that will be there when you need essentials. Placing a jar in the kitchen works as long as everyone agrees not to use the funds for take-out (it can be tempting when you get low on groceries). Decide on an amount
that everyone will contribute on a weekly or monthly basis, and confirm what the funds will be used for to buy. Will they strictly be used for household supplies or will they pay for groceries, too?
Keep things separate
If you can’t all agree on the best way to deal with replenishables, it’s best to keep it all separate. If you’re living with someone you strictly consider a roommate, and not necessarily a friend, this is often the best bet. It can get tiresome to split up toilet paper but it can also avoid awkward scenarios and fights about money. There’s nothing wrong with keeping things to yourself, plus it can make your monthly budgeting a lot easier.
Embrace family living
If you’re close with your roommates, you might not need an actual system. For some roommates, especially those who have lived together for a long time, these things just work themselves out. You’ll grab toilet paper when it’s on sale, and so will your roommate. You’ll make dinner, they’ll do the dishes, and vice versa. If you like to bake, and your roommates like to eat your baking, they’ll make sure the house is always stocked with flour. When you live like this, you have more of a family dynamic than a roommate agreement. It can be wonderful to have a relationship like this, but it’s not for everyone. Make sure you’re all on board before you start using your roomies’ shampoo or eating their cereal!
