BEDROOM DESIGN FOR THE ULTIMATE NIGHT’S SLEEP

The bedroom is a space where you must feel at your most relaxed, which means a great deal of thought about its design, aesthetically, will pay off in terms of your well-being – both mentally and physically. If the design truly reflects your personality, you will feel at your most comfortable, and you will be able to rest in a space that you can harmonise with more easily. Minimalism and order are often the main dishes of the day when it comes to bedroom design, just one reason why Scandinavian style has become so popular, as a neutral colour scheme, natural materials, good-quality bed linen and biophilic elements are ideal for creating a calming atmosphere. As we are now into the summer months, embracing the season with pastel shades and botanical accents is a wonderful way to create a summery oasis, bringing the outdoors into the home. If the room is small, adding a large mirror reflects natural light and helps create an illusion of space and an airier feel. Obviously, clever storage systems to hide away clutter and keep the space as organised and tidy as possible are imperative to aid in the creation of a visually relaxing room. Wardrobes and drawers have become so innovative in their designs in recent years that they can store more possessions than ever, with clever shelving and compartmental designs. With innovation in mind, technological advancements such as motorised blinds, dimmable lighting, smart home sound devices, zone system mattresses and beds that support the exact needs of your body, are just some of the many ways that technology can help create a more comfortable environment to promote relaxation. Sweet dreams!
