Finding good old peace in a modern elegant bedroom

A bedroom is obviously a place for sleeping, but it can also be a place to wind down and relax, long before it’s time to say goodnight. One way to find that relaxing peace whenever you need it, is to decorate your bedroom in a way that automatically lowers the volume and speed of life, every time you come in the door.

Do you want to redecorate your entire room? Get new curtains.

Cleaning windows transforms a room. Add curtains with purpose: blinds block light for extra sleep, sheers soften daylight and add privacy, and SANELA demi block out brings elegance while absorbing sound and reducing light for a calmer space.

Plan your bed before making it

A good night’s sleep comes from a carefully chosen bed and bedding that suit your needs. Choose mattress quality, sheet texture and breathability, quilt material and warmth, and the right pillows. Plan all bed layers for a sleep that looks and feels like a dream.

Shhh… Don’t disturb the calming room

A busy mind needs a decluttered space to be able to relax. A room that actually tells the brain to calm down. Here the two FRYKSÅS cabinets hide all the stuff, to set a base for the peaceful expression. Well balanced colours add to the touch, as well as a comfortable chair, soft light and a few good books. The result is a room for relaxation, regardless of whether you’re awake or asleep.

The temperature of light

The light in a room makes as much difference as sunshine or rain does outdoors, but indoors you have the power to change “the weather”. The easiest way to make use of that power is to change to a TRÅDFRI smart LED light bulb. With the wireless remote control you can adjust the light from colder to warmer, depending on your mood or the time of day. Getting a new lamp is like updating the sun!

A good night’s sleep with yours truly

The bed is probably your most private corner in the world, so make sure it is just the way you like it. That includes the space around the actual bed and also the time before and after sleeping. Do you have the perfect reading light? Perhaps a soft rug by the bed? How do you like the temperature in the room? Is there always a good book at hand? It’s your resting hours at stake, and your dedicated space for it. Make it perfect – for you.

Cleanness is more than a look – it’s a feeling

That feeling is easy to achieve with STARKVIND air purifier. Despite the sleek look that blends into any room, it filters away 99,5% of airborne particles, dust and pollen. And yes, since it’s a product suitable for bedrooms, the volume is low enough to keep it on all night without disturbing your sleep.

How to walk through the whole “getting dressed procedure”

Almost any open space can be turned into a wardrobe, which makes getting ready almost as easy as walking out of the room. With the help of the endless variation of KOMPLEMENT interior organisers, your PAX wardrobe can be custom made to fit all your stuff. That way you get all the storage you need, without messing up the calm expression of the room.

Travel in time?

It’s hard to change the world, but sometimes one perfect room is all you need. The very second you enter a room like this, you can take a deep breath, lower the volume, feel the soft carpet, sit down and just close your eyes for a minute. It’s almost like travelling back to a time when there were no mobile phones, less stress and more time to just be. Welcome back.
