"Having good sleep hygiene (aka not using your laptop or phone in bed) might, in fact, begin with bedroom design. One of homeowner Amanda Mactas' (@manhattantwist) biggest goals in her bedroom redo was "not to work in bed," she says. And to create a relaxing space, she gave her bedroom a dark, dramatic, "boudoir" feel. She worked with Kim Liptak Design on transforming her entire New York City apartment - including the bedroom."
""My bedroom actually had a cool accent wall that was all wood, and it was oriented completely differently prior to redesigning it," Amanda describes. "I really liked it, but it just didn't feel like me, and we decided that if we oriented the room a bit differently, we could utilize more of the space," she says. Adding space for books was another priority."
Homeowner Amanda Mactas prioritized not working in bed and created a relaxing, dark boudoir bedroom to support better sleep hygiene. The bedroom layout was reoriented and the headboard moved to utilize space more effectively and add room for books. The redesign introduced a moody, sensual color palette and richer textures to contrast typical white-box New York apartments. The color and texture choices were inspired by a lamp that sold out, yet the design still came together. Practical considerations, including avoiding an all-white scheme due to personal tidiness, shaped the finalized bedroom aesthetic.
