When I think of zen, I think of being grounded and calm, so to achieve this feeling we sold all our previous furniture and started brand new. From the floating bed to the nightstands, to the low profile dresser and the DIY piece over our bed, every item in our bedroom now has intention, purpose, and provides a sense of peace. Welcome to our zen-inspired bedroom.

With this refresh, I wanted to invest on a good quality bed frame and mattress. My previous frames were from Ikea. No hate on Ikea, I still shop there but we all know their furniture can break pretty easily (hah). After 3 months of searching, I ended up purchasing this platform bed frame from West Elm, upgrading myself from a full size to queen.

After six years of living in my 600 sq. ft. studio apartment, I am finally refreshing this space and am focused on creating a place that I truly love. I’ll be spending the majority of this year at home, so it’s worth the effort to invest in pieces that are comfy & cozy, won’t break easily and pieces I can actually move with me in the future.
