Bedroom Bliss: Your Winter Retreat
With winter knocking on our door, there’s nothing more comforting than slipping into a cosy, warm bed at the end of the day.
Having restful and deeply restorative sleep is essential in boosting our overall health and wellbeing, which have never been more important than now. Make the time to unwind every night before bed, choosing your last hour of awake time ditching your device in favour for curling up with a good book, doing some stretches or relaxing through meditation or mindfulness.
Keeping your bedroom dedicated to rest and sleep helps to strengthen the mental association of the bedroom being a calming place for sleep. To create this sleep sanctuary, make sure your room is dark, quiet and comfortable — somewhere between 18 to 21 degrees — so you can completely relax and renew.
Whether you prefer a low-key minimal retreat, a hotel-inspired haven or a bright space popping with personality, you’ll find lots of clever ideas and styling inspiration in-centre to help you create the space you’re dreaming of.
To help you prioritise a good night’s sleep every night, we’ve assembled our favourite pieces to help you create your own restorative retreat.
