Swaddling might be for babies, but we all crave that cozy and calm feeling in a bedroom.
Mostly, it’s habits which dictate function: for early risers, a light-filled and airy scenario might just be the tipping point that lures them out of bed before dawn to tackle the day. For night owls, it’s all about feeding the decadence of staying up naughtily late, with moody colors to extend sleeping hours when they finally come. And let’s not forget the bookworms who seek the ultimate in comfort (above all, good lighting and a comfortable headboard) to spend a restful few hours with a good read.
Not sure what role you want your bedroom to perform? A one-on-one consultation with our Experts will dig deep on personalization, and throw up plenty of ideas for curating your version of the ultimate sleep chamber. For now, here are a few starter ideas…
