Bedrooms: superlative relaxation

Softness and a sense of protection are what inspired designer Alessandro Busana when creating the Blanket bed for Bonaldo. The base is a large, soft quilt which then rolls up at the top to form the headrest. Bonaldo is available through Siesta Interior Design in C. Plaza in Nueva Andalucía (www.siestainteriordesign.com) and ID House in Centro Comercial Azalea between San Pedro de Alcántara and Puerto Banús (www.idhouse.es).

RESTFUL BEDROOMS

Your bedroom shouldn’t be a room that you’re tired of, but instead it should help you relax when you’re tired. Simplicity is key when it comes to bedroom design, ensuring that it is relaxing to the eye. Keeping this room clutter-free with good storage, soothing colours and unfussy decoration is one simple way to create a restful space. A top-quality bed and mattress is the best option to give yourself a superlative night’s sleep. The investment might be heavy, but it can also be life-changing. It is very important to be able to control the light in your bedroom, so make sure you have good window solutions. Ceiling-hung curtains can add drama, whilst wooden blinds add a more minimalist contemporary look. When the sun goes down, dimmable lighting is best with directional bedside lamps for reading. As we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, a zen-like bedroom is a must!
