Our iron and brass Newfield bed was featured in the Better Homes and Gardens indoor inspirations, and we think we know why. Our authentic castings and pure brass detailing makes this bed indistinguishable from beds made a century ago. It’s heavy, and it has a generous use of quality materials and finishing that will make your bedroom exude elegance. It’s available in both our wrought (shown) and vintage iron finishes. The Newfield is a classic piece of early American iron bed design that will make you look like you scored at Brimfield!

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese spiritual practice that ties the beauty and design of one’s surroundings to one’s inner peace, if I may crystallize thousands of years of architecture, design, and philosophy into one half of a sentence. You can apply simple principals of feng shui to your own living space to make it a more tranquil and pleasant experience. It’s about feeling at ease where you lay your head, clearing the clutter out of your daily life.

Soothing colors are important. Harsh or clashing color schemes that aren’t pleasing to the eye lead to bad vibes. Likewise, a propensity for electronics, work desks, and things of that nature in your living space attracts the wrong kind of attention as well. Bed location is important. Your bed easily and comfortably accessible from both sides. Anything that leads to stress and discomfort should be banished from your bedroom. Take a look around your bedroom. Move things around a bit. Experiment. You’ll feel better in no time.

Here, this might help, and try not to fall asleep until you put the crystal up in your own room.

It’s a great list, chock full of great advice for maintaining a comfy and warm living environment in your home. Tucked away in the number five rule (“Only white linens are allowed on the bed”) is a link to our 400 thread count Prima cotton bedding ensemble. Thanks, Erin! We love you too!

You may not realize it, but your bedroom is an important place. You spend at least a third of your life there asleep, and that’s not mentioning the countless waking hours you rack up in the bedroom lounging around, watching television, etc. No matter where your day’s travels may take you, they all start at the same focal point. At the end of the day, your bedroom is the place you come back to for comfort, solace and restoration. Even though it plays a major role in our daily lives, we often take the bedroom for granted. Kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms tend to attract more attention.

People are more likely to congregate in these common rooms of the house, and as such, more work goes into the look and feel of them. Keeping up appearances is definitely necessary. But the bedroom is the place where you can go to let your guard down. It’s the only place where you can have a little time to yourself, spend some relaxed quality time with the family, or kick back with a movie or a book. Your bedroom is your kingdom, a little corner of the world specifically designed for you and only you. What does your bedroom mean to you? Send us a picture of your bedroom so we can get a peek at your private kingdom.
