Most people focus on getting the public spaces of their homes in pretty good decorating order first and put their primary bedroom on the back burner. But, where do you spend the majority of your you-time? Where do you go to unplug, relax, and just be?

The primary bedroom of your home deserves just as much effort and thought as the other spaces in your home! Here's why:

1. Research indicates that people tend to sleep better in a place that is calm and orderly,

2. You deserve a personal spot for solace and refreshment, and,

3. The primary bedroom doesn't get as much traffic, and wear and tear as public spaces do and, therefore, does not need to be updated as often!

Have I convinced you? Here are some of my favorite pieces to give a casual and relaxed - but polished! - look and feel to your primary bedroom.

Lanai Banana Leaf Queen-Sized Bed

Though a bed made out of banana leaves denotes a tropical or coastal vibe, its texture profile can also be utilized in combination with more traditional, transitional, or even contemporary settings.

I love the rope-like, organic feel of this bed. It lends itself to casual relaxation - which is what the primary bedroom should be all about! Easily dressed up or down, it is the perfect piece to rest your head after a wearying day.

Nightstand

The informal polish of this nightstand lends complementary tension to the highly textured bed without being stuffy. It is generous in proportion and stands at the perfect height for the level of the bed.

Drawers can hide away the current bedtime read and other essentials, keeping an uncluttered surface available for statement-making lamps and maybe a vase of something fragrant and delightful!

Summer Hill Dressing Chest

Sporting a similar finish and ring-pull hardware, the Dressing Chest is the most functional piece in the room with an abundance of versatile storage. The slimmer footprint makes it practical for a smaller space, but its height gives it importance!

Kenzo Chair

It's nice to have a place for some daytime relaxation here, too! This chair acts like a beautiful bridge between the textures and coloration of bed and case goods.

The strappy back cushion and caning in the frame speak to its casual heart. And it is roomy enough to accommodate a quick shoe change or a nice long phone conversation. Add a glass of wine or cup of tea and say, "ah!"

Presidential 7'10" X 10' Rug

All this plush comfort requires softness underfoot, and this rug is a toe-pleaser with style! The size is perfect to set beneath a queen-sized bed in multiple configurations, and the traditional pattern makes it a timeless choice.

Coastal Calm Artwork

There is nothing more calming than sailboats (maybe the original water bed?) floating serenely on the surface of a tranquil sea! The colors are a perfect fit with our gorgeous rug and add even more island ambiance to the collection.

Layla Table Lamp

Mother of pearl tiles in tones of azure blue sparkle in the light of this beautiful lamp. Rising from the nightstand to its 30" height, it is the perfect level for reading in bed and introduces a hit of sparkling organic texture to the rest of the room's composition.
