With bedroom furniture, bedding and accessories, you can easily make your bedroom feel like a wonderful winter chalet. Making the most out of your storage space and decorating your bedroom with various accessories can make you feel cosy and uplift your mood, making you feel relaxed and allowing you to fall asleep quicker. So, even when there is a great thunderstorm crashing against your window outside, you can easily sleep soundly in your cosy space.
In this guide, we’ll cover all these areas when it comes to using furniture to optimise your storage space and deciding whether to go for a Divan or Ottoman bed. Whether you’re starting from scratch and going for the full bedroom revamp, or simply looking for a few tips to make your space feel comfortable. The Christmas period is quickly approaching, so why don’t we dive in and take a look at some useful tips?
Use Furniture To Maximise Your Storage Space This Winter
Our new furniture collection is a great way to enhance your bedroom decor. To create a wonderful festive retreat in your bedroom, we believe that it’s a great idea to start with your storage and organisation. This not only makes the decorating process a lot easier, but it also transforms your sleep quality and lifestyle. So, let’s take a look at our premium storage solutions that will really make a difference this season.
How Mirrored Wardrobes Have A Big Impact On Your Space
Our selection of large mirrored wardrobes are ideal staple furniture pieces in which you can store a wide variety of clothing. From hats, scarves, chunky knitted jumpers and winter coats, our customisable wardrobes are ideal for making your bedroom feel decluttered and cosy during the winter season.
Whether you’re totally starting from scratch with decorating your bedroom, or just in need of some extra storage space this winter, our mirrored wardrobes make the perfect choice for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Designed with a full length mirror that reflects plenty of light into the living space, our wardrobes are great for making your bedroom feel light and airy, even during those gloomy wintry days. Whether you’re getting ready for work or going out Christmas shopping they’re ideal for checking your winter outfits on a daily basis,
With ample internal storage, flexible shelving, and customisable layouts, our wardrobes are great for those in smaller apartments or limited space. You can customise the layout of the drawers and shelves, ensuring all of your winter essentials have their own place.
Drawers & Bedside Tables
Bedside tables and drawers also make essential must-haves that can easily turn your home into a wonderful winter escape. It’s psychologically proven that decluttering your bedroom space makes you feel uplifted and more motivated to start the day, as well as more relaxed and more likely to fall asleep in the evening.
So, why not pick a bedside table or drawer set to store all of your everyday essentials? Whether it’s toiletries, scarves, hats and gloves, you can easily reach for these items that will help you stay warm through the season. Not to mention, our drawers and bedside tables are also designed in sleek and contemporary designs, in black or white matte shades with glossy handles. Practical and stylish, they’re what you need this year to enhance your bedroom space.
The Winter Season: Divan Vs Ottoman Beds
If you’re shopping around for a new bed during the winter season, there are a few things you may like to consider when it comes to choosing the right one, ready for the cold time of the year. Let’s take a look at some of the different styles we offer.
The Ottoman bed is designed with a gas-lift system in which you can easily lift, revealing plenty of storage underneath the bed frame. In the ample storage space, you can store away all sorts of things that you don’t want on show. The suitcase you can take on your summer holidays, as well as your summer clothes, can be stored away and kept well-protected in the spacious underneath storage. So, if you need to reorganise your bedroom space ready for the festive period, but you’ve already put lots of items in your wardrobe or attic, an Ottoman bed is perfect for you.
To further organise your Ottoman Bed and maximise its underneath storage, you could use some storage boxes and dividers. It’s a great way to separate items, where each of your belongings have their own designated space.
An alternative option of bed frame that makes your bedroom a cosy and festive escape is the Divan Bed. This is designed with built in drawers, so you can store a lot of your everyday items in there, including cosy blankets and hot water bottles, ready for you to snuggle down and fall asleep on those dark wintry evenings. Designed with a solid base, Divan beds are particularly good for retaining heat as well as offering plenty of support, as opposed to slatted bases. So, they also make ideal options to make your room look stylish and feel cosy during the winter season.
The Best Fabrics To Stay Warm On Chilly Evenings
Once you have chosen your bed option, you may also like to consider what materials are best to keep you warm and toasty on those snowy days. Let’s take a look at the different options that we have waiting for you.
Plush velvet is an ideal heat-insulating material - containing dense fibres and an upright pile, it’s a great option to customise your bed. Velvet is a great heat trapper, so you won’t have to worry about being too chilly at this time of the year. Not only does it keep you warm, choosing a velvet headboard can also act as a noise dampener. If you’re living in an old cosy cottage and you can hear the wind bustling outside in those December mornings, a velvet headboard can reduce the sound. Plush, sumptuous and practical - velvet is the way to go for the winter season.
But don’t stop here when it comes to browsing our fabric choices - velvet isn’t the only option to keep you warm in winter. Our Shetland wool fabric is also a heat trapping option that you could customise your bed with, ensuring that you stay nice and warm in winter. Inspired by the Scottish highlands, this Shetland fabric is durable and premium quality. It’s also moisture wicking, meaning it’s quite a breathable material. So not only is it great for winter, it’s a good all year round option.
The Best Mattresses For Heat Insulation
You’ve discovered your bed frame option, materials and furniture set-up, all ready for the winter season. Now, let’s talk about mattresses.
Mattresses are also key when it comes to ensuring that you feel nice and warm throughout the cold months. When it comes to making a lovely winter escape that you can’t wait to retreat to at the end of the day, our mattresses are integral in doing so. So let’s have a look at which ones are great for keeping you warm!
An ideal option is the memory foam mattress. Designed with a compact structure with high viscosity and dense fibres, the mattress gets to know your body’s shapes and contours over time, as well as your preferred sleeping position. Thanks to the dense structure of the mattress, it’s the perfect option to keep you warm, as well as feeling snuggly in your desired sleeping position.
However, if you’re a hot sleeper even during the winter season, a pocket sprung mattress may benefit you. Designed with individually enclosed pocket springs, this mattress option has improved air circulation and breathability - it’s a good all year round option and benefits you if you’re someone who gets too warm in bed often.
Preparing For Guests & And Accessories To Make A Lovely Winter Escape
As the Christmas holidays approach and snow begins to settle, you might be inviting your family or friends around for plenty of festive sleepovers. So, making your room feel and look cosy as possible for when they arrive can be easily done with a few extra accessories.
Brushed cotton bed sheets are just the thing to make you or your guests feel cosy and improve your sleep quality. It’s made by lightly brushing woven cotton with fine metal rollers to raise soft fibres on the surface, creating a warm and cosy feel. Your guests will be so happy to snuggle down and have many hours of comfortable sleep after celebrating the joys of Christmas!
If it’s snowing outside and you want to make your guests feel right at home, electric blankets are a great way to make them fall asleep. They’re not too expensive and they don’t add too much onto your electric bill at the end of the month - using just as much electricity as a small light bulb.
However, if you’re looking for an even more energy efficient way to keep your spare bedroom warm for guests, or the master bedroom nice and toasty for you and your partner, you could use a draught stopper. If you find that your home is a bit draughty in winter, using a draught excluder can block out any cool air that is blowing underneath your doors.
To truly make your home feel like a winter grotto, fairy lights and LED candles are just the thing to delight your guests or create a cosy atmosphere in your own bedroom. Due to their soft warm glow, these lighting accessories are not too harsh and they promote relaxation - making you fall into a cosy slumber. Implementing these lighting accessories in your home is also a good way to uplift your mood when the evenings are shorter and darker.
