The nights are darker, the air is colder, and Autumn is in full swing. Winter, however will be here before we know it and for many of us, Sunday mornings snuggled under the duvet listening to the awful weather outside is the best way to spend a weekend.
But what can you do to make your bedroom extra cosy? With the colder weather approaching, now is the time to update your bedroom and make it a comfortable paradise for you to enjoy whilst the rain lashes the windows outside. Read on for 5 super easy ways to make your bedroom extra cosy.
Your flooring
When it comes to high levels of comfort, the flooring in your bedroom is pretty important. The flooring in your bedroom works hard and has a lot thrown at it on a daily basis, whether that’s makeup spillages, cups of tea sloshing everywhere, contact lens solution – it’s no wonder it can look old, tired and grubby. If you want to take your comfort to the next level, consider updating your flooring with a new, thick pile carpet – if you aim to pick an affordable remnant as well as affordable underlay you can completely transform your bedroom space in an instant without breaking the bank.
If your budget or time won’t stretch to a new flooring solution, treat yourself to a new rug instead!
Make it just right for sleeping
In order to properly rest, our bedrooms need to be as dark as possible, so if you’re interested in a proper night’s sleep then why not consider some blackout blinds or curtains? If you’re a light sleeper, then these are perfect for you. Also choose some duvet covers of UK origjn that are super cosy.
You need to up your lighting game and for a start, get rid of all those overhanging light fixtures. Aim for table lamps instead with low wattage bulbs to keep light low and relaxing. If you like to read in bed then of course keep the bulbs the same. If you can’t bring yourself to part with your overhead lamp then consider installing a dimmer switch so you can control the brightness.
Add some candles
Introducing some candles into your room is a treat for all the senses, although burning candles in the bedroom can be a risky business with all the fabric around and the risk that you might fall asleep…so, if you’re going to burn candles try storing them in hurricane vases, or glass lanterns. If you don’t want to risk the flames then opt for some LED or artificial burning candles instead.
Introduce a little nature
Nature has healing, calming and soothing properties. It’s been proven that spending time within nature is enough to bring down your heart rate and stress levels. So, why not try some in the bedroom? Adding a couple of house plants to your room will not only help you relax but also help purify the air – allowing you to have a better nights sleep.
