The Big Sleep
Ireland's Homes Interiors & Living Magazine|September 2023
Is it time to give your bedroom a refresh? From changing your bed to updating your duvet and cover to painting or papering the walls, here are a few ideas to inspire.
The Big Sleep

For many of us, the bedroom is a retreat from daily stresses and considered design choices will have a positive effect on your mental and physical health.

The perfect bedroom requires at least a few vital features, for example the colour scheme. A soothing and natural palette will promote relaxation and a healthy sleep.

Your mattress also plays a vital role in in your bedroom and there are plenty of options out there, so try to find the one that will offer the most comfort and support for your individual sleep preferences.

You need enough space for storage, but you’ll also need to make sure the room stays organised. Clutter is the enemy of a rested mind, so try to keep your bedroom free of unnecessary distractions.

Improved sleep quality is the number one reason to consider the design elements that go into your bedroom. Distractions can make falling asleep more difficult, just as loud noises can keep you from staying asleep. But by designing your bedroom to eliminate as much interference as possible, you can vastly improve the time that you spend in bed.

COLOUR IN YOUR BEDROOM

There is much to consider when picking the perfect bedding, from material to texture and style, with colour, for many, the most important factor to decide on. 

Choosing the best sheets and duvet cover in the right colour for your bedroom will have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your space. Bedding that complements your wall colour can establish a cocooning, cohesive design, whereas opting for bedding in a different colour can create a more colourful and visually interesting space.
