Bedroom

The bedroom is the room most people decorate last and live in most. It is also the one that benefits most from restraint, because it is the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night, and neither of those moments wants visual noise.

Start with the bed and work outward. Texture in the layers, a lamp you can reach without sitting up, one thing on the bedside that is not your phone. Keep the palette narrow and let the materials carry it. If a piece does not make the room calmer, it belongs somewhere else.

Our bedroom range covers bedside styling, lighting and lamps, mirrors, vases, cushions and throws, candles and diffusers, wall art, jewellery storage and journals. Good for a full reset, or for the one small change that makes the room feel finished.

What should go on a bedside table?
A lamp you can reach without sitting up, a clock that is not your phone, and one or two things you like, such as a candle, a stem in a bud vase or the book you are reading. Leave room for a glass of water.

How tall should a bedside lamp be?
Aim for the bottom of the shade to sit around shoulder height when you are sitting up in bed, which usually means a lamp of about 50 to 60cm on a standard bedside. Rechargeable touch lamps help when there is no plug nearby.

How do I layer bedding for a styled look?
Start with a plain fitted sheet, add a duvet in a textured fabric, then fold a throw across the bottom third of the bed. Finish with two pillows and one or two cushions in the same palette rather than a full stack.

Which alarm clocks are quiet enough for the bedroom?
Look for a silent sweep movement, which glides rather than ticks. Several Karlsson alarm clocks, including Belle, Button and Grace, use one, and some add a night light so you can check the time without picking up your phone.
