Make Your Bedroom Feel Calmer in a Weekend

You do not need to redecorate to sleep better. A weekend and a few soft things are enough.

Start with the bed

Two linen cushions and a waffle-knit throw make a bed look made even on a busy morning. Pick one colour and repeat it.

Change the light

Swap a bright ceiling light for a ceramic table lamp with a fabric shade. Warm, low light tells the body it is evening.

Clear the floor

A tall laundry basket with a lid hides the day's clothes. A floor you can see makes the whole room feel bigger.
