We first decorated our bedroom soon after we moved in (back in January 2019) and we\u2019d gone for the fuss-free theme of monochrome with gold accents. The bedroom was light and crisp but was lacking all important character, and in comparison to the rest of my house it felt cold and not cosy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was loving some of the earthy, sage greens I\u2019d spotted on Pinterest so decided to go for it and do things slightly different. Rather than paint the whole room, I opted to create a half-painted feature wall \u2013 check out my IGTV<\/a> for exactly how I did it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shade I selected was Earth Green by Wilko<\/a> at just \u00a316 for 2.5L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good pillow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s from working at a desk for so many years, but I\u2019ve been suffering with pain in my neck and shoulders for as long as I could remember. One bad night\u2019s sleep on them could cause me days of pain and enough was enough, so I decided to reach out to Casper about giving their pillows a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me tell you \u2013 I was blown away after just one night\u2019s sleep! The technology which combines a firm, adaptive inside pillow with a fluffier, soft outer pillow means I feel supported and comfortable when going to sleep and wake up more refreshed than I have in a long time. Guy (sans neck and shoulder issues!) has been using a Casper pillow as well and says how much of a positive difference it\u2019s made to his sleep, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nBed Linen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sticking to the theme of investing in high quality items for the bedroom, I\u2019m a firm believer in spending a little more on some good quality bed linen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the moment, I\u2019m swearing by the Marseille range from Dusk <\/a>\u2013 it\u2019s a 600 thread count Egyptian Cotton sateen and is silky smooth and uber comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This style has an elegant pin tuck detail, and I\u2019ve chosen white as I can style it up no matter if and when I change my bedroom colours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not to mention – using natural fibres in your bed linen (and specifically pillowcases) is also great for your skin and for your hair!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\nStyling & Decluttering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The main feature of my new bedroom was the picture shelf<\/a> which is from Desenio<\/a>. I opted for three, 70cm shelves to create one long ledge above our bed in \u2018oak\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve styled this with natural, earthy prints and wooden frames \u2013 also from Desenio \u2013 along with a few accessories such as our wooden initials, mini buddha and trailing plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, I\u2019ve added in a Seagrass belly basket from Wilko<\/a> and I\u2019m using this as my sort of morning laundry basket \u2013 when I wake up, I throw in my pyjamas and my slippers and it saves them getting shoved behind pillows or left on the floor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nRelaxing fragrances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As a long-term sufferer of anxiety, I\u2019ve tried every trick in the book to find a quiet mind and these are some of the products I\u2019ve used over the last five years or so that help me to really unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Works Deep Sleep Range \u00ad<\/em>\u2013 I\u2019ve got a back log of their cult favourite Pillow Spray<\/a>! I use this every single night without fail and also take it with me on holiday and specifically long-haul flights to help me find that all important slumber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also use the range\u2019s Dream Cream<\/a> and bath salts<\/a> for that perfect, pre-bedtime combo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
