Sigal Shachmon Reveals the Bedroom Rituals Behind Her Design Style

Sigal Shachmon, 55, opened up about the bedroom rituals and design choices she says shape her sleep, relationships, and sense of balance. In a video on her Instagram account, the television host, actress and mental coach said she places a clear glass of water beside her bed every night, based on advice she once heard during a period of poor sleep. She says the water absorbs energy and is discarded in the morning. After a week of trying it again during menopause, she says her sleep improved and her dreams became clearer and more detailed. The clip drew 255,000 views, and she still follows the routine nightly.

Shachmon also described her bedroom as an intentionally restrained, spiritual space. She keeps it uncluttered, uses calm colors, and places items in pairs to symbolize and attract partnership. In her room, the main wall is painted a deep olive-brown, with two small golden bee ornaments, which she says represent abundance, fertility, industriousness and making the impossible happen. She also keeps two red elements, a red dress on the wardrobe and a red flower arrangement, because she sees red as a color that stirs passion. She is not in a relationship and says she is not looking, but believes one will come.

The former presenter has spent recent years adding interior design to her work as acting and mental coaching. She said she has moved 16 times in 20 years, since marrying and divorcing, and that this taught her how to work with the same furniture in different spaces. She has studied design and says she now helps others shape homes and rooms, including a recent cafeteria makeover on a tight budget.

Her design philosophy, she said, is that a home reflects its owner. She favors classic, timeless looks over trends, recommends not pushing a bed against the wall in single bedrooms, and believes a room should serve two people in harmony. She prefers soft linen curtains, warm side lighting and furniture that feels personal, including bedside tables made from orange crates. She has lived for eight years in a modest rented house that once served as the village’s first bank, which she renovated cheaply and filled with eclectic art and family photos.
