Bedrooms: superlative sleep

REST IS BEST

The bedroom needs to have a well-thought-out design so that your mind can be in the most restful state possible for a superlative night’s sleep. Though a good bed and mattress are always well worth the investment, other elements of the bedroom also warrant consideration. Consider simple and relaxing colour tones, proper lighting for bedtime reading as well as the general ambience, fabrics that are soft-to-the-touch, and clever storage and window solutions. When all of these components are right, this room can transform your life, allowing you to enjoy the perfect night’s sleep and helping you feel uplifted and more productive during the day.

“When the sun breaks through, light and shadow let our Slow collection shine with its simplicity and elegance, and this shows that some moments need to be enjoyed slowly.”
