Besides the fact that you get to recharge in a new location, part of the appeal of going on staycations or holidays must surely be that you get to relax in a room that’s clutter-free and tastefully-decorated. Thankfully, that’s not hard to recreate in your own home so you can put your holiday money towards creating rejuvenating bedrooms and bathrooms that you can enjoy every day.
Bedroom Essentials
Cosy sheets
The hotel standard is white sheets, often Egyptian cotton around the 300-thread count mark which gives it a silky feel. Although white sheets give off a pristine impression, don’t feel limited in your own bedroom. Creamy tones are ultra-comforting but other neutral hues can similarly create a calm atmosphere while infusing the room with some colour. We’d also like to suggest some alternatives to Egyptian cotton. While the material does feel luxurious and crisp, it’s rather pricey and may not feel as comfortable especially if you don’t sleep in an air-conditioned room because it can be quite thick. In its stead, consider flax linen or bamboo sheets instead.
As a brand committed to ethical and sustainable production, Sunday Bedding’s sheets are made without harmful chemicals or synthetics and produced in the most environmentallyconscious way. Like all the sheets in the range, their bestselling Bamboo Sheet Set (pictured in Vanilla Mist), from $218, available in eight colours, comes pre-washed so you can just slip on the covers as soon as you get them.
