The bedroom stylist for the workshop’s “Bedroom Styling” initiative. She handles bedroom styling proposals, light-bedding product pages, and the workshop Magazine. She commutes from her Tokyo home several times a month, balancing childcare and work.
What bedroom styling is
I lead the workshop’s “Bedroom Styling” initiative — styling proposals spanning from bedding to the whole atmosphere of the bedroom. The work includes: styling proposals for the bedroom space, content planning for light-bedding product pages, content editing for the OFUTON KOBO Magazine, and one-to-one bedroom consultations with customers via social media. Every household’s bedroom differs — I want the workshop’s products to settle naturally into each different context.
The bedroom is the start and end of the day
The bedroom is where we begin and end each day. Bedding, light, textiles and storage all help make it comfortable. I try to bring those elements together in a way that suits the person using the room.
From “visual-first” to “the true work of sleep”
Before obtaining the Certified Sleep & Bedding Advisor qualification, I gave more weight to how a bedroom looked. Studying for it made me think more carefully about how the room supports sleep. Appearance and function can work together, and learning how to bring them together changed my approach.
Advice for overseas customers
Homes differ in climate, space and storage. A shikibuton can help a room change from a sleeping space at night to living space by day, provided airing and storage fit the household’s routine. Contact the workshop if you would like advice for your room.
