I’ve been waiting for Winter to arrive and yes here it is!
So then I was faced with ‘what topic about Winter’?
Who doesn’t enjoy sleeping in on a Winter’s morning? So let’s go ….
Bedtime Stories
It’s time to revamp your boudoir with layers of glorious materials from woollen knits to satin-smooth silk and lush velvet.
For a heavenly sleep, find comfort in piles of plump cushions, luxurious sheets and soft textures.
We all have our favourite type of pillow; goose down, duck feathers, latex, memory foam and microfiber to name a few. Finding the perfect pillow for a good night’s sleep in key!
What you’re lying between will ensure total relaxation. 1000 thread count sheets might be top of your list, satin, bamboo and flannelette also contenders.
Warmth is number one so a quality quilt is essential. Australian wool or cotton quilts, goose down and microfiber being ideal for allergy suffers, are definite winners also. Compare the weight of the quilts verses blankets; heavy does not always mean the warmest!
Exotic accessories and richly died fabrics help turn your bedroom into an escape from the everyday.
Now comes the best part, what to put on top of the quilt. Set an indulgent tone with rich splashes of hue and scrumptious textures. Start with your quilt cover/coverlet to draw your inspiration from. This is your time to shine by layering with multiples of decor cushions and tactile throws.
Whispers of blue and green relax the mind for a peaceful slumber.
Reinvigorate your space with a vintage inspired headboard reupholstered in a graceful print. The headboard shape can set the mood of the overall look. Consider a box shape: straight lines define a formal strict attitude, opposed to curves: which create flow and movement and harmony.
Enjoy easy elegance with dreamy textures and intimate lighting. Complete your look with soft mood lighting, task lighting for readers doesn’t mean boring! I could go on but trying to stay focused on the bed. So what is your ideal winter snuggling bed?
