Pretty and practical strategies for keeping this hardworking area calm.

Look for sneaky storage.
A bedside table is great – a bedside dresser is even better.
Cut the clutter.
Use a decorative box to corral eye creams, lip balms– all those unsightly odds and ends.
Fill a carafe.
Drinking a glass of water before getting out of bed in the morning is supposed to energize you. Couldn’t hurt!
Wake up to flowers – or even a spray of leaves.
Nature brings a room to life, and the simplest greenery clipped from your garden will freshen up your bedside.
Leave books by the bed.
Seeing them there will serve as a visual reminder to put down the smartphone– and reading an old-fashioned book will better help you wind down.
