Style and block unwanted sound spoiling your sleep

If you’re all too familiar with the frustration of missing out on sleep because of unwanted noise coming into your bedroom, we’ve got some great tips on how to shut them out – in style! Whether you’re being kept awake by noisy neighbours or woken up by bumps in the night, sound can severely interfere with our sleep quality. Luckily there are heaps of ways to block noise when sleeping by soundproofing your bedroom.*

Style to block unwanted sound spoiling your sleep

Turn on, tune out

Drowning out unwanted sound is one approach many of us find useful. White noise machines are small devices that emit a constant background noise – usually you’re able to choose from options like the sound of a fan, or gentle rain. You can also adjust the volume to suit your needs. Turn one on to cancel out anything from your partner's snoring to the neighbour’s dog barking!

Use textiles to muffle sound

Furnish your bedroom with plenty of textiles as an affordable soundproofing option. Even if you have wooden floors, overlay rugs to help soak up some of that unwanted sound. Styling your bedroom with soft furnishings like extra pillows and throws, fabric-covered armchairs and padded ottomans is a great way to help absorb noise throughout the night.

Go window-shopping

If you don’t have access to double-glazed windows, try choosing curtains made out of a heavy fabric. This will help block out the outside world. You can even try introducing an extra layer of soundproofing by doubling up on window coverings, with blinds and curtains working together to help keep noise out of your ears at night.

Cover your walls

Thin walls are such a common problem, but one that can be easily solved – again, in style! Muffle the noise travelling into your bedroom by hanging up a rug or throw on your wall. This adds a decorative touch to your room while creating an extra sound-proof barrier between you and unwelcome noise. Soundproof room? I think so.
