Creating the right sleep ennvironment means more than just closing the door and turning of the lights.
Have you ever wandered into your bedroom and just sat down and taken in the peaceful feel or are you missing that one important part..Zen calmness.
I have a bedroom that has a large window looking out over the tree tops that catches the afternoon sun. Everyone in the family knows that if they cant find me on a weekend afternoon I will be there curled up on my couch soaking in the sun and peace, book in hand loving my room!
Your bedroom needs to be your haven day and night. You need to surround yourself in colours that soothe the soul, fabrics that are soft and enticing, and quilts that are the right weight..not too hot or not too cool.
It is not a hard thing to acheive when you set out to find one thing at a time and when acheived move on to the next.
The colours that inspire you during the day are not the ones to sleep under as you wont be drawn to sleep!
Look for soft soothing lines of beige, blues, white and yes black! Our Coshee bamboo range covers all of these and ou can always "dress" a bed with coloured cushions..you know the ones that husbands dislike that end up on the floor every night and need to be put back in the right way each morning!
Have soft lighting when you have stopped reading and listen to the peacful night sounds if you can or have a soothing tape to help you.
Dont have the heating on but allow the house to slowly cool down and your bedlinen keep you warm.
Mulberry Silk quilts adjust to your body heat and allow this to happen naturally.
Remember this place is YOUR haven..enjoy the surrounds and pick items that you like when you can and you will build a soothing bedroom quicker than you think!
