At the start of your day and at the end of that same day, you need your bedroom to be a relaxing escape. Life in London can be rushed and stressful. A space that’s yours, away from your daily demands — where you can unwind and start the day well — has become a necessity. Your bedroom should set you up for a good day and a good night of sleep. Here are 5 ways we create serene bedrooms that will make you feel like you’re in a retreat of your own.

Calming colour palette:
When you hire me as your interior designer, we ask you to guide us towards one or two colours that soothe you so we can weave these into a colour palette that’s relaxing and serene for you. We mix these with the right finishes, metals, and accessories to create a bespoke design that resonates with you deeply. We work with these elements so your walls, bedding, and décor can all come together to create a cohesive space that’s calming.

Luxurious bedding:
Investing in the right bedding materials such as soft cotton sheets, plush duvets, and comfortable pillowcases will give you the much-needed physical comfort for your relaxing escape. Layering textures with throws, cushions, and a cosy area rug adds a sense of comfort that will elevate the room and your mood.

Clutter-free design:
Embracing an organised and clean approach to the design helps keep the bedroom clutter-free and gives you a sense of retreat and relaxation. Smart storage ensures your belongings are within reach but out of sight. We space-plan your storage to ensure you have enough room for your items and extra for future purchases. We also like to select furniture with clean lines and a streamlined aesthetic to ensure there’s a visual flow to the room that brings calmness.

Soft lighting:
We are keen on adding more than one type of lighting in bedrooms. We incorporate gentle ambient lighting options like dimmable bedside lamps, floor lamps, and wall lights in addition to ceiling lighting. We pair this with warm bulbs to create a soothing and inviting ambiance during evenings. Whether you are getting ready in the morning or reading in the evening, we want to ensure the atmosphere is just right.

Creating a serene bedroom involves curating a space that combines calming colours, comfortable textures, a clutter-free design, soothing lighting, and natural elements. This thoughtful combination can help parents unwind and recharge in a peaceful environment after a busy day.
