Inside Emily's Colorful Frankfurt Bedroom for Creative Renewal
Walking into Emily’s apartment in Frankfurt feels like stepping into a lived-in moodboard. Bold colors sit beside quiet neutrals. Vintage finds rest next to more modern pieces. Everything has a story, and nothing feels accidental in here. Emily is a secondhand fashion curator and shop owner, but at home, she is also a dreamer, a collector, and someone deeply tuned into the soft comfort of rituals.
Her space mirrors seems to mirror her creative energy. Expressive, playful, and layered, yet grounded by softness where it matters the most.
A Bedroom That Grew With Her
At the heart of Emily’s bedroom is a bed she has owned since she was a teenager. Built with her uncle when she was around fourteen, it has followed her through every stage of life.
“I got it when I was like fourteen or fifteen,” she says. “There are still photos of me and my uncle building it in my old room at my mom’s place.”
Now thirty, Emily has slept in the same bed for fifteen years.
“It was by my side every day, every night,” she says. “It really went away from being a girl to being a woman with me.”
The bed is not just furniture. It is continuity, memory, and comfort. Dressed in Ever Lasting’s Royal Bedding Set in Beige, it anchors the room in calm. Soft neutrals replace visual noise, allowing the bedroom to become a place for rest rather than stimulation.
Emily's maximalist bedroom picks
Color Everywhere, But Softness Where It Counts
Emily’s apartment is full of color. Pink appears again and again, on shelves, kitchen details, and everyday objects. Vintage ceramics sit beside chrome accents and flea market finds, each piece carrying its own story.
“I just keep buying beautiful stuff,” she laughs. “If I see something I love, I can’t leave it behind.”
But the bedroom follows different rules. Here, Emily keeps things intentionally simple.
“The whole flat is very, very colorful,” she explains. “Maybe a beautiful mess. But in my bedroom, I love to have it as clean as it can be.”
She keeps the bedding, shelves, and curtains soft and muted.
“I think I can sleep better if it’s not too colorful,” she says. “I like it very gentle in here.”
The Royal Bedding Set in Beige supports that intention. Its warm tones soften the light and create a visual pause from the rest of the apartment. Boldness and calm do not compete here. They coexist.
Rituals That Shape Her Days and Nights
Emily is deeply connected to routine. Her rituals bring structure and comfort to her days, especially within the bedroom.
“I’m a big fan of rituals,” she says. “My breakfast routine is the same every single morning. For years.”
Each day begins with tea, followed by cereal with almond milk, then coffee. No matter how early she has to leave the house, the routine stays.
These small habits turn the bedroom into more than a place to sleep. It becomes a space of grounding and return.
Emily also admits she loves staying up late.
“I don’t go out,” she says. “I just like to be with myself. With my cat. Watching a series.”
In the quiet moments before sleep, ideas often arrive.
“When I’m already calm, just laying in bed, my thoughts start spinning,” she says.
“Sometimes I write notes right before falling asleep. The next morning I don’t even remember, and then later I find them again and think, oh yeah, that was a good thought.”
Collecting as a Way of Living
Emily curates her home the same way she curates her fashion shop. With intuition, emotion, and curiosity. Chairs from flea markets. A vintage coat bought from an elderly woman who invited her into her home. Handmade objects created during moments of boredom. Gifts passed on by friends.
“If I can’t use something myself, I’ll find someone who will love it,” she says.
Her apartment is full of these moments. Melted candles she kept because they remind her of a hot German summer. Objects left behind by previous tenants. Tiny porcelain dogs found in Italy. Even a small item stolen from a bar years ago and given a second life.
Nothing is overly styled. Everything feels lived in. The bedroom, by contrast, remains a gentle counterbalance. A place of renewal within the vibrancy.
From Home to Shop: The Same Creative Language
Emily sees no separation between how she creates her home and how she builds her shop.
“I create the pieces in my shop the same way I create my apartment,” she explains. “I just keep buying beautiful things.”
Her secondhand journey started organically. What began as finding pieces at flea markets and gifting them to friends slowly turned into an Instagram project.
“At one point I thought, why not start a small label?” she says.
Her first showroom was tiny. Hidden. Open only a few hours a week.
“You really had to know it was there,” she says.
People kept finding her anyway. Eventually, she opened her first proper shop in Sachsenhausen, where she continues to curate with the same care she brings to her home. Every piece carries energy, history, and the possibility of being loved again.
Tuning Into Renewal
Emily’s story is one of gentle evolution. From teenage girl to creative business owner. From collecting objects to collecting meaning. Her home reflects that journey, especially her bedroom, where softness supports imagination and rest.
As Ever Lasting looks toward new beginnings in 2026, Emily’s space reminds us that renewal does not have to be loud. Sometimes it is found in familiar furniture, calming fabrics, and the rituals we return to every day.
A bedroom can be expressive and restorative at once. A place to dream, to pause, and to begin again.
