Your Haven At Home

Bedrooms can often Be overlooked when decorating a rental property, But creating a peaceful, tranquil space that promotes good sleep needn’t cost the earth…

There are few rooms in a home that are more key to our wellbeing than our bedrooms. A place of rest and relaxation, they provide a retreat from the world. Yet precisely because they are private spaces and not on show to visitors, they don’t always receive the attention they deserve.

if the time has come to show your bedroom some love then start by considering what type of atmosphere you would like to create. Painting your walls is a quick, easy way to transform your bedroom and studies have shown that soft greens, soothing blues and warm yellows both help people to get more sleep and to wake up feeling happier.

For those who prefer to keep their walls neutral, the addition of accessories in this slumber-inducing palette can have the same effect. Harlequin’s painterly Fauvisimo fabric cushions (1) show how beautifully these shades can work together while the incredible reclaimed wood headboard demonstrates creativity, the consistency of a nature-inspired scheme and the impact of texture.
