A bedroom should be the calmest room in the home. A soft neutral palette, natural fabrics and a few carefully chosen pieces are all it takes to make it feel like a retreat.
Choose a soft palette
Cream, sand, oatmeal and caramel are restful colours that work with almost any furniture.
Invest in linen bedding
Stonewashed linen is breathable, relaxed and looks beautiful even when the bed is not perfectly made.
Add texture
Layer a chunky knit throw at the foot of the bed and mix linen, velvet and boucle cushions.
Light it warmly
A pair of bedside lamps is more relaxing than an overhead light in the evening.
Edit the surfaces
Keep bedside tables simple: a lamp, a book, a small tray and one object you love.
Make one change at a time and notice how the room feels — calm is something you sense, not just see.
