The Art of a Room to Rest | PART III, The Finishing Layers: If the foundation sets the tone, the finishing layers create the feeling. This is where function meets softness, and where a room shifts from styled to settled. Every choice matters—not for impact, but for balance. Start with pieces that earn their place. Here, a bamboo tortoise table between the windows brings utility and quiet texture. A tufted bench adds comfort and an invitation to pause, with the function of a place to get dressed. Ground the palette underfoot. A patterned rug anchors the room, holding the colors together and softening the space both visually and physically. Then, layer the windows fully. Stripes introduce rhythm and movement. Woven roman shades add warmth and depth. Together, they frame the light and give the room a sense of completeness. The final layers shouldn’t shout. They should support how the room is lived in—calm, functional, and considered. When each element has intention, rest follows naturally. You can shop my entire space by simply commenting SHOP.
