There’s a certain magic to the way light falls at the end of the day. For me, sunset at home is the moment I treasure most. As the city begins to quiet and the sky softens, my loft transforms into a golden cocoon. The sunlight filters through my sheer linen drapes, painting the room in a champagne-hued glow that feels like a daily gift. It’s fleeting, but it lingers long enough to remind me to slow down and breathe.
A Shift Toward Minimalism
Lately, I’ve found myself embracing a more minimalist way of living. Not just in how I decorate my space, but in how I move through life. After years of layering and excess—whether in fashion, work commitments, or even the way I filled my home—I’ve started to crave the opposite. Clean lines, calming colors, and purposeful pieces.
My bedroom, more than anywhere else, reflects that shift. It feels fresh, simple, and open. I’ve pared it down to only the things that bring me joy or serenity, and in doing so, I’ve discovered how freeing it feels to let go of the unnecessary. This room has become my sanctuary, the place where I can retreat from the nonstop rhythm of New York City and reconnect with myself.
The Comfort of Rituals
One of my favorite little rituals happens on Friday evenings. After a week of work that often feels like a marathon, I slip into a silk robe and sink into bed dressed in crisp white sheets from Lulu & Georgia’s new home collection. There’s something about fresh bedding that feels like an instant reset. The fabric is cool, the color is calming, and the simplicity of it all feels luxurious in its own quiet way.
It’s a ritual that signals to my body and mind that the weekend has begun. No matter how hectic my week has been, I can always count on this moment of pause. It’s amazing how something so small—like the feel of soft sheets and golden sunlight—can shift an entire mood.
Creating Space for Stillness
In a city like New York, stillness can feel like a luxury. The energy here is electric, and I love it, but it can also be exhausting. My home has become the counterbalance, the place where I seek out silence and serenity. By keeping my space minimal, I allow the light, textures, and natural elements to take center stage.
The glow at sunset becomes art. A single vase of fresh flowers feels like enough. A quiet corner by the window becomes the perfect place to sip tea or write in my journal. Nothing feels forced, nothing feels cluttered. And in that simplicity, I find peace.
Why Home Matters
This month especially has been nonstop. Long days of projects, events, and back-to-back work have left me craving balance. And while travel and exciting opportunities energize me, nothing compares to coming home. Home is where I exhale. Home is where the world feels a little slower, a little softer.
I think that’s why I’ve been leaning so deeply into creating an environment that nurtures me. When life outside is demanding, my sanctuary inside becomes essential. It’s not just about décor or design—it’s about building a space that reflects who I am and what I need right now.
The Glow That Grounds Me
Every evening as the sun dips lower and the golden light floods in, I’m reminded of how much beauty exists in the simplest moments. I don’t need extravagance or excess to feel content. Just a room bathed in light, a bed that welcomes me, and the quiet knowledge that I’ve carved out a little space in this big city that is completely mine.
This daily glow grounds me. It whispers that it’s okay to slow down, to embrace minimalism, and to honor the rituals that bring comfort. And in that soft champagne light, I find gratitude—not just for my home, but for the calm it brings into every part of my life.
The Final Note
As I step into the weekend, slipping between fresh Lulu & Georgia sheets, I carry that glow with me. It’s more than just a pretty sunset—it’s a reminder that peace lives in the small things, in the quiet rituals, in the spaces we shape for ourselves.
And for me, right now, that is everything.
