bedroom

We spend around than a third of our lives sleeping, and most of us spend even longer than that in our bedrooms. That means our sleep spaces shouldn’t be an afterthought – they should be relaxing rooms that are comfortable, soothing, and encourage us to take our rest. The importance of sleep to our busy lives means that we should all prioritise creating an oasis of calm for our bedrooms, and this is even more important for those of us that encounter sleep disturbances such as insomnia, or conditions such as anxiety. 

Comfortable and relaxing doesn’t mean unstylish though, and a beautiful room really helps to create a feeling of contentment. Think back to how amazing the sleep is when you are on vacation in a beautiful hotel with a fabulous view, with crisp white linens on the bed. While we can’t completely recreate a luxury hotel in our homes (unfortunately very few of us can afford housekeeping services to change our sheets!) we can still create peaceful resting spaces with a luxurious feel that help us to achieve that deep sleep. A bit of thought, time and financial investment in our bedrooms can pay dividends in terms of the quality of our sleep.

In family homes, master bedrooms often become social hubs, with children and pets piling in, particularly on lazy weekend mornings, so in addition to being stylish, they have to be practical and durable, with the accessories you need to make things as comfortable as possible.

In this post, we’re going to be talking about the trends for interior design, and when you’re thinking about bedroom design, don’t forget to consider children’s bedrooms (they don’t have to be pink, blue, or covered in cartoon characters!) and your guest rooms and spare bedrooms. When friends and family have a comfortable night when they stay with you, they’re more likely to want to visit you again – although whether you want to encourage that is up to you!
