Sweet dreams
Promote your bedscape from boring to beautiful, and fall asleep in luxury each time your head hits the pillow.
It’s what’s on the inside that counts for a supportive sleep – but no one said the exterior couldn’t exhibit the ultimate opulence. Research finds that finishing the day in a beautiful bed can help you fall, and stay, asleep. More than an asset in the aesthetic of your bedroom (or guest room), high-quality and expertly-styled bedding is a successful investment in your rest cycle.
Beautiful, rich botanicals juxtapose clean, minimalistic styles to top Canterbury’s most popular bedding choices.
Striking patterns and deep tones make a dramatic statement, setting the tone for the sleep that awaits. For the minimalists, striped styles marry with the season’s muted hues – earthy greens, rust, and sandy beige shades – often through a layered linen look.
All the trimmings
Curate your own calming sleep sanctuary with three elements: a mood-setting headboard, plush and pretty pillows, and a well-placed throw.
Pillows
TIP: Prop two large Euro pillows by your headboard. Layer sleeping pillows in front, before another two smaller square decorative pillows – these should incorporate the main colour of your bedding. Add a further pillow to the middle for the finishing effect. Keep proportion in mind – too many pillows on a small bed will achieve the opposite of a luxury look.
Headboard
TIP: Take your bedroom’s size and style into your choice of headboard, alongside personal preference. Traditional, modern, bohemian – ensure it meets the vibe of your existing décor. If your bedroom is lacking in wow-factor, consider this your opportunity to introduce a pop of colour, fascinating shape, or complementing pattern. Avoid fabrics that can’t be steam cleaned, such as velvet.
Throw
TIP: A throw is the ace up your sleeve for creating effortless-looking spaces. It should drape over the corner end of your bed to add that informal element. Utilise a textured throw in a colour that works with your bedding – yet don’t be afraid of an extra throw or unorthodox colour. Encourage yourself to find the balance between structured styling and informal interiors.
