Room Swoon: Studio LifeStyle’s Dreamy Neutral Bedroom
Words by Sacha Strebe.
The world demands so much of our time, energy, and attention, so it’s vital we craft a space that doesn’t ask anything of us. The Studio Lifestyle team had this sentiment in mind when they designed this bedroom. The stylish sanctuary invites you to breathe, to unwind, to romance the self, and regale in the art of leisure. After all, isn’t that what we all need right now? They achieved this mood-altering effect by layering neutral, earthy tones borrowed from Mother Nature. This visual lightness offers a welcome reprieve from the noise and chaos that ensues beyond those four walls.
