The new year is a time for reflection, rest, and intention. It’s an opportunity to think about what you want to carry forward, and what’s time to leave behind. On our list, we’re hoping to invite more moments of self-care, ease, and calm, while leaving behind rushed rituals and sharp edges.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that self-care isn’t just something you do; it’s something you can create and lean into. This year, self-care starts with the spaces you surround yourself with, from when you wake up in the morning to when you go to sleep at night. When your environment supports how you feel, better habits naturally follow.
Read on to discover how to transform your space to build better habits.
New Year, New Self-Care
Let’s start with the basics of self-care: it’s whatever you want it to be. Whether that’s making the intentional decision to make your bed every morning or to indulge in an extended nighttime routine, the idea is to tap into your vision of self-care.
New Habits, Elevated Spaces
Sure, it sounds nice that a bedroom refresh could be part of new year self-care, but it’s not just about bringing in something new. It’s how a space sets the tone for your rest, your routines, and your mindset.
Curating an elevated space is about intention, not excess. As you envision refreshing your bedroom, consider choosing pieces based on how they feel. Do they bring comfort? Do they make you feel calm? Do they feel refreshing and inspiring? Check in with yourself to truly understand why you might want to choose a piece and how it can support your new habits and rituals.
Now that you know how to approach curating your space, it’s time to think about what habits you actually want to work on.
Waking Up Earlier
Did you know this habit actually involves your nighttime routine, too? Feeling fresh and alert in the mornings can help you take more time for yourself before the day gets busy or to practice movement, mindfulness, and gratitude. It can be the springboard to a great day.
Making the Bed
This is an easy, intentional first “win” for the day. It’s one item checked off your list as soon as you wake up, creating a fresh and clear environment for your day to begin. Plus, it keeps your bed cozy for crawling back into at night.
Prioritizing a Nighttime Routine
Reading, enjoying a cup of tea, doing skincare, meditating—however you want your day to end starts with how you curate your bedroom. It creates the backdrop for rest, relaxation, and recharging so that you can start your day, and new habits, with clarity and calm every morning.
Self-Care by Design
With new self-care intentions set, it’s time to focus on how you can set yourself up for success with them. And we’re here to tell you that your space actually makes all the difference. Here’s how to build better habits through better design:
Create a Soft Landing Spot
A plush, all-cushioned bed frame instantly changes the feel of your room. The rounded edges, fabric-wrapped designs, and warm hues create a sense of warmth and comfort. It’s the easiest—and softest way—to show yourself some extra TLC after a long day and a gentle way to wake up each morning.
Choose Calm Over Clutter
The minimalist silhouettes, clean lines, and cozy textures of SoftFrame® bed frames and headboards bring style to your space without overwhelming it. They’re an easy way to elevate your bedroom while maintaining a calm, cohesive space to settle into.
Materials Matter
Sometimes, it’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about what’s on the inside, too. SoftFrame® bed frames are made from 100% CertiPUR-US® certified foam, so you can rest well knowing that your California-crafted bed frame is made to the same high standards as mattresses and baby products.
