We know that certain colours are more restful than others. Therefore, it makes sense to feature your favourite palette combined with relaxing tones. This approach helps personalise the room while also taking into account the science of sleep.
The bedroom connects us to our primordial selves more so than any other room in the home. What is more ancestral than sleep? Therefore, organic materials like natural wood, stone, vegetable fibres, fabrics and metal are in and of themselves a luxury.
Certain specific styles like Scandi or Japandi exploit these materials to great effect. The luxury resides in the simplicity of celebrating the material without over-designing the space.
The choice of flooring material is like priming a canvas for creating luxury bedroom opulence. Although looks are important, the feel and tactile quality underfoot are just as important. Flooring frames the bed visually and is our first encounter with the décor in the morning and the last thing at night.

The luxury bedroom should make space for whimsy. Wallpaper provides a wonderful opportunity for customising bedroom décor. Whether the preference is for textured minimalism or over-the-top maximalism, there’s a suitable wallpaper to achieve that look.

Winter luxury and summer luxury require disparate approaches in bedroom design. We can use the décor to ensure a cosy and cocoon-like ambience for the colder months. While opening the room to the outdoors in the summer helps ventilate and cool the space. Some elements of bedroom luxury are experienced but not seen.
Interior design is waking up to the fact that life itself is a luxury. Surround your bedroom with living plants that will thrive in their surroundings. Not only does the bedroom benefit from blooming flowers and verdant greenery but the air quality improves as well.
Just one single piece of furniture can provide a luxurious flourish to transform your bedroom décor. It doesn’t matter if it’s contemporary or antique. A vintage freestanding wardrobe with carved timber detailing or a cutting-edge dressing table design; a luxuriously upholstered armchair or chaise longue or maybe a practical end-of-bed console. Choose a piece that doesn’t overwhelm the dimensions of the room.

There’s no two ways about it, a good mattress is essential to a good night’s sleep. Everyone has their own ‘Goldilocks’ measure of comfort, in terms of support and firmness. There are three main mattress typologies, foam, metal-spring (or coil) and hybrid. Whatever the individual choice, never underestimate the importance of investing in the right mattress for you.
The feel of freshly laundered sheets against the skin is pure luxury in the bedroom. Complete the look with a throw and pillows. Interior design magazines are always filled with luxury bedroom images with mountains of pillows piled deep and gorgeous bed linen. The look is sophisticated and feels like pure luxury.
With the right treatment, you can transform an average bed into a 5-star hotel bed. Normally the rows of decorative pillows are removed and stored before sleep so make sure to allocate a storage area for bedding material.
Lighting is an underestimated resource for creating luxury bedroom ambience. It takes on special significance in the bedroom, which we spend more time in after sunset. A room is transformed through light and there are several ways to add a luxurious luminance when relaxing or getting ready for bed. Or perhaps soften the jolt of rising before sunrise during winter months.
