Home-ready focus

Bed, bedroom, entry: the home version

Focus on the three zones that calm the year fast: bed, bedroom flow, and entry buffer.

Bed head direction

A steady bed setup helps everything else feel calmer.

  • Anchor the headboard to a solid wall.
  • Avoid direct alignment with the door if possible.
  • Keep mirrors or screens out of the sleep line.
Bedroom flow

Reduce friction in the room you recharge in.

  • Keep the walking path simple and open.
  • Use layered lighting instead of harsh overheads.
  • Clear the area around the bed edges.
Entry buffer

Give energy a place to land before it spreads.

  • Add a rug, bench, or plant to slow the line.
  • Avoid a straight shot to the bedroom.
  • Keep the entry clear of clutter.
