pendant, make sure it looks nice from the bottom, too
In our super-connected world, the bedroom is arguably one of the last sanctuaries.
And with the importance of getting some good shut-eye talked about more than ever, discover how to design your space to ensure you’re set for restful nights and relaxing mornings. We’ve asked the experts for their top tips Words: Amelia Thorpe
Adam Black, co-founder, Button & Sprung PICK THE PERFECT BED
“The ideal design should work around your lifestyle and needs. For example, if you like to prop up your pillows and read, the headboard will greatly infl uence your comfort factor. You may be
looking for substantial storage, or your priority is choose a specifi c fabric to fi t into the design scheme. It is best to consider all options, including the shape, style, headboard, storage capacity, and comfort
of the bed. Those available include a simple frame incorporating clean lines, an upholstered divan with storage drawers or an ottoman bed where storage is accessed by a hydraulic liſt ing mechanism as well as a huge array of shapes, materials, and sizes. This ranges from a single (90 x 190cm) up to an emperor-sized bed (210 x 210cm). Go for the largest you can aff ord, but try not to cram your space – you still need to be able to comfortably move around the bed.”
The Camden bed, from £1395 for a double, is handmade in Britain from solid oak, sourced only from sustainably managed forests, by Natural Bed Company.

LAY OUT THE ESSENTIALS AND CUT THE CLUTTER
“A better-designed bedroom can make a huge difference to how we sleep and therefore how we feel. Focus on a beautiful bed as the central feature of the room, perhaps with a comfortable armchair to provide a spot to relax if you have space. Clutter is the antithesis of relaxation, so ask yourself honestly: what do I need to store in my bedroom? Then ensure you have only those items in there. Plan your wardrobe space carefully and don’t overfill it with clothes you never wear. Feng Shui practice suggests you need to let go of
stuff, for only then can good things come into your life. Keep the bedside table surfaces as clutter free as possible, too, opting for designs with drawers to keep your essentials.”
The impressive size and fl uted design of the upholstered
headboard on the Provence bed, from £3345 for a double, enhances its role as the centrepiece of this room, from The Sofa & Chair Company.
