Your bedroom isn’t just a place to get some shut eye, it should be a place to relax in comfort and style. Here are some top tips for getting it right.
Sunday mornings at home in bed, is there anything better? It’s a place for cuddles and coffee with the one you love (be it a partner or a pup), a safe space for little ones when nighttime monsters appear, and a haven to escape the stresses of daily life with a good book.
The bedroom is the most intimate place in your home and is therefore worthy of extra attention when it comes to home decor, ensuring it can be a place that’s uniquely yours.
Here are some ways to transform your bedroom from a functional place to lay your head, to an oasis of calm and happiness.
Invest in your bed for the ultimate snooze
You know that feeling when you’re staying at a hotel and slide into those crisp, clean bedsheets and lay your head on that perfectly fluffy pillow for the first time? Well, why not allow yourself that luxury every day of the week at home? Sleep is so important to our overall wellbeing, and for the new parents among us, it can often be lacking.
Invest in a comfortable bed to suit your space and a quality mattress for the ultimate snooze. Add a little more luxury with beautiful bed linen to complete the experience. Sheridan offers 1000-thread-count sheets and bed accessories including memory foam pillows to make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Now, it’s just up to you whether you let the kids/dog jump on the bed!
Leave the laptop at the door
While working from home it may be tempting to bring the laptop into the bedroom and tap away at the keys while cosy in bed, but try to resist the urge. By bringing work life into the bedroom, you’re inviting in all the stresses that come with it. The bedroom should be your oasis of calm, a safe space away from dinging notifications and important phone calls. Minimise the tech in this space, particularly at night time, to give yourself a better chance of a peaceful, uninterrupted sleep. Instead, keep your books and journal close to hand on your bedside table so you don’t need to stretch too far. And don’t forget to add some warm light with a bedside lamp to give a cosy feel during bedtime reading.
Add some personality with a statement piece
As much as we try to minimise clutter, many of us are guilty of throwing clothes on top of that one chair in the bedroom until it becomes a whole other entity. But perhaps if that lowly chair had a bit more pizzazz you would be less likely to allow it to become disguised as a clothes mountain. Enter the accent chair. This is a great way to inject some of your personality into the space, perhaps through a pop of colour or pattern. Temple & Webster and Zanui have some great options that are too pretty to cover up.
Transforming your bedroom into an oasis is easy with humm. With top brands like Snooze, Sheridan, Matt Blatt and Adairs to choose from, you are sure to find what you’re looking for. You can buy now and pay later with zero interest.
