Muted tones, soft light and fewer, better objects: how we approach rooms meant for rest.
Start with light
Calm rooms depend on light more than on colour. We plan daylight first, then add warm, low and indirect sources so nothing glares in the evening.
Quiet surfaces
Matte finishes, tactile plaster and natural textiles absorb light and sound. Handles disappear into joinery, cables into walls.
Nothing in the room should ask for attention. That is what makes it restful.
