First and foremost, a bedroom should be a place where you can relax and recuperate. Sleep (as we are constantly reminded by medical professionals) is vital for our wellbeing and this makes it very important that we create a bedroom space with colours and forms that comfort and please us. This idea, that the way you shape your home around you affects your mental state, has been around for millennia in Eastern spirituality and wisdom. Feng Shui, which is a 4000 year old Chinese philosophy, says that you should fill your space with smooth shapes and symmetrical patterns to create a sense of balance and harmony in the home.

You might cast this aside as mystical quackery but if you think carefully about the way we all arrange our homes you will see that your current practices are not too far away from the Feng Shui philosophy. Whether it be having matching bedside tables on each side of the bed, centralising cupboard doorknobs, levelling mirrors on our walls or creating symmetrical patterns with our vases and candles, we all have our ways to create balance in our homes. Perhaps it is the beauty and symmetry found in nature, and indeed ourselves that draws us towards applying it in our homes.

The La Toma bed, found in the Tikamoon bedroom collection has been specifically designed so it doesn’t interrupt the flow of shapes in the bedroom. It has a low-slung design which keeps it low to the floor and is made from natural untarnished oak. The two individual headboards, which replace the traditional single headboard which is found on most beds, gives the bed a modern feel but also provides more support and a more ergonomically inclined angle. This adds to your comfort when reading. All-in-all the La Toma bed is ideal for any one who wants to add some modern, minimalist style to their bedroom without disrupting its peace and harmony.
