Turning Your Sleep Space into the Ultimate Nest

 Your bedroom is so much more than just the place that you unwind in or sleep in at the end of the day. This is the space that you'll spend between 6 and 10 hours in every single evening because this is where you sleep. It's the place where you wake up every morning, and it's the room that you go to to unwind at night time. You may have dimmed lights or muted colours.You may have made it comfortable with piles of pillows and blankets. And why have you done that? For the ultimate comfort so that your body can get the rest and the relaxation it needs. 


Your bedroom is your nest. It's the place that you feather so that you can be most at ease and most relaxed. It's the part of your home that you frequent the most, even if you don't feel like it sometimes. This means that it needs to be comfortable, it should be stylish and it should be a sanctuary like  - ie, a nest. It needs to have the right balance between functionality and beauty, and it should be absolutely as comfortable as you need it to be.If you're considering giving your sleep space an overhaul, take a look at our top tips to turn your sleep space into the ultimate nest.

  1. Start with the bed. Your bed is the one place that you'll spend a lot of time in your bedroom, which is why it's such a central figure to the room. The right headboard on your bed is a must when you're transforming it into a relaxation zone because it provides that added stability that you need. It also shields your head from the wall and adds some visual appeal to the space. When you pair a headboard and a beautiful bed base with a mattress by Wolf Mattress, you are choosing to put together one of the most comfortable bed spaces you could have. The bed is your starting point because it's the focal point of the room. Once you've got that nailed down in terms of structure and functionality and size, that's when you can move on to the rest of the space.

  2. Add some texture. What nest would be nesting without its feathers? Your bedroom is supposed to feel inviting and comfortable, so you have to play around with the plush soft textures. You can do this with cushion covers, fabrics, or even a rug, and this can help to amplify the feeling that the bedroom is going to nail the texture briefly for you. You can combine carpeted floors with rugs, and once you've got your sheets and your blankets on the bed, you can add layers of pillows and other blankets for you to relax underneath. Of course, you don't have to sleep under every single blanket or on top of every single pillow, but it's supposed to look inviting.

  3. Add some bedside tables. A practical but stylish bedside table is an absolute must for your bedroom. You should have one either side of the bed if your bed is centered in the room, or you can just have one if it's against the wall. It gives everywhere a home in terms of bedroom essentials. Glass cases, a spare bottle of water, chargers, batteries, a book, a pen, tissues, all of these things can be on your bedside table and with an easy reach so that you don't have to get out of bed to find things. There are plenty of options for bedside tables too, so you're not going to be without choice. 

  4. You can get some more window treatments. A big part of feathering the nest in your bedroom is to make sure that your windows are covered enough so that your room is dark at night time for you to sleep and open enough for the light to flood in through the day. You want to make sure that you can adjust easily to natural lighting during the mornings and keep the room at a comfortable temperature. You should think about the size of the window and the colour palette of the river before you choose any window coverings. You might choose both blinds and curtains, or you may just go for one option, but either way, window treatments are just as important as any other effort you make. 

  5. Don't forget to adjust your lighting. A lot of people choose not to use the ceiling light in their bedrooms because the light in the ceiling can be harsher than smaller lamps. Keeping the ceiling lights for the bathrooms where you might get ready or the closet where you might get ready is important. Using a blend of natural accent and ambient lighting is how you're going to be able to play with that spatial ambience you've been looking for. Make sure that you've got lamps, especially corner lamps, that light up the darker corners and keep the room at a nice level.

  1. Choose your blankets wisely. There's nothing more luxurious than a bed that is piled with blankets and pillows and looks so inviting for you to jump in. The whole idea of your bedroom is for you to be able to curl up and feel comfortable, so adding the right quilt and pillows to the space is important. You want to choose something that is breathable and preferably suited for both summer and winter. However, you can have different sets of bedding for different levels of cold in the year.

  2. Maximise your bedroom storage. Whether you have too many shoes or too many clothes, that's not an issue in your bedroom. As long as you have the right storage, you can keep the sanctuary that you've created, neat and organised. Your modern bedroom will likely have an inbuilt wardrobe, but if you need extra space, look at vertical storage like tall boys or shelving that reaches floor to ceiling.
