Don’t Leave Your Bedroom Behind…

When we consider decorating, it’s always the communal rooms that get the preferential and priority treatment, often leaving more personal spaces such as the bedroom by the wayside.
It may seem easier to ‘make-do’, but the bedroom really is just as important as the rest of your home. Even though we spend most of our time in this room with our eyes closed, it shouldn’t be a space we ignore. The Better Sleep Council has reported that a relaxing and comforting environment where we sleep, will give us a better night's rest, which only has positive impacts on our health and overall wellbeing.

So let’s start with the key feature of any bedroom, the bed. It needs not just to look good, but to function for you too. You want a bed that you can effortlessly sink into, and that you know will stand the test of time. Take the Flow Bed or the Insert Bed by Lime Label, both of which offer a simple yet elegant curved design and can easily compliment any bedroom decor. Or if you’re looking for something a bit more dramatic, try a raised headboard; it’s an easy way to make the bed standout in the room and we think the Adam Bed or the Ludovic Bed by Cattelan Italia are perfect for this.

Let’s also not forget the surrounding furniture, as it can really add to the overall look and feel of your room. Take the Boston Bedside Table by Calligaris - its understated design makes it a striking contrast piece next to your bed, and the drawers can fit all your bedside needs from books and magazines to night creams. Consider also a beautiful dressing table - it’s one piece of bedroom furniture that is sometimes left out entirely, yet it can be the most useful piece you’ll have in the room.

When combined with the Dyno Chest of Drawers, the Dyno Dressing Table by Cattelan Italia makes a brilliantly functional place to organise personal effects, with all the space you could need. For a smaller room or if you're seeking something a touch more unusual in design, try the Micol Dressing Table by Porada. Its solid wood curves conceal built-in drawers which perfectly hide away a multitude of items, meaning you can keep your surface area clear and free-from clutter, achieving a minimalist feel with a stylish aesthetic. 

Whatever your design choices, make sure your bedroom is as considered as the rest of the home; you’ll quickly realise the benefits of a bedroom you want to relax in.
