Whether you've got a tough deadline at work, a frantic school run or even an early morning gym date ahead of you, a good night's sleep can help to tip the balance in your favour and get things off to a great start. Sometimes it's not as simple as just getting an early night, with other factors playing a big part. We have compiled a few interior tips that might help you better achieve a relaxed and restorative sleep, night after night.

Design a serene bedroom

Choose Scandi style for your bedroom

A clean, airy aesthetic characterises a Scandi interior, born from typically long, dark winters and a desire for light. These simple forms and surfaces are by nature free of clutter and uncomplicated, the key to creating calm. The use of pale oak is consistent with this look and ensures a lightness in your colour scheme. Introduce texture with natural rattan furniture.

Get the lighting right in your bedroom

In order to prepare your eyes for a peaceful night, it's a good idea to dim the lights in the hours before you sleep. If you don't have dimmable lights in your bedroom, then a table lamp on your bedside table, a floor lamp, or a cleverly positioned wall light or pendant light could be a perfect alternative. If you don't have a bedside table, a low stool works really well.

Find the key to good sleep with natural linen

For many, the temperature of the bedroom is a huge factor in how well they rest at night. Bedsheets and duvet covers that use natural fabrics such as cotton and linen are best recommended for increased sleep comfort since they help regulate your temperature. For the cooler months, a soft blanket or bedroom quilt or bedspread is perfect for layering.

Aid sleep with bedroom scent

There are a multitude of sleep sprays and oils available to help you get a perfect eight-hour snooze, with those formulas containing lavender in particular proven to have sleep-promoting effects. Try your own sleep scent on a soft cotton pillowcase, or place scented candles around your room. 

Find calming wall art for the bedroom

Bedroom wall art can also promote a calm atmosphere - choose prints and canvases with delicate lines, pale palettes and subject matters that will transport you to relaxing places. Abstract art, angel wings or macrame hangings complement the tone in the bedroom perfectly, with no direct subject matter it’s easy to unwind.
