Life, inspired: Where The Magic Happens

Where The Magic Happens

A bedroom is a place to relax, recharge and rest. It’s one of the only places we can truly be ourselves, so let’s get inspired to make it a true haven, where magic really can happen.

When it comes to bedroom essentials, what comes to mind? For us, it’s all about comfort e.g. a good bed and space to get ready for the day ahead.

What about all the other spaces though? There’s an opportunity to achieve more than just comfort in your home. In this month’s blog we’ll show you how to make a bedroom space a bit more cosy, personal & inviting, while drawing inspiration from the trends of interior styling that’s taking over Aussie homes all over the country.

All about upholstered headboards

When it comes to headboards for your bed, there are many different types, and the options can be overwhelming! Though if you’re in the market for an upgrade, or a change of bed setup, an upholstered headboard can prove to have many benefits in the long run!

Firstly, upholstered headboards enhance comfort – no brainer! They come with added cushioning and have a nice soft surface which makes them a lot more comfortable to lean up against, rather than a metal or wooden one. Perfect for if you read or watch TV in bed, your back will have ample support.

Secondly they don’t only protect and give YOU comfort, but they also take care of your walls! No sharp edges or hard surfaces to dent or scratch your wall, perfect for rentals and less handiwork needed around the home. Score!

Thirdly, there’s a style to suit everyone. It might be overwhelming but there’s a guarantee you’ll find something that will suit your design vision perfectly. Wooden, metal, upholstered, or even a combination of both. Colours vary too, and if you’re feeling a bit out of your depth, you can’t go wrong with a neutral colour or a natural finish.

This Sorrento Bedhead in White from Provincial Home Living is a great neutral and soft finish choice for a simple bedroom look. Dress it up or down with your bedlinen and of course lots of cushions!

Well hey bouclé

Admit it, we’re all suckers for anything soft. Throw blankets, cushions, duvets, furniture even, it’s a must. But what about bedlinen? The new trend of bouclé (pronounced “boo-clay”) is everywhere at the moment. Bouclé is a type of yarn with a looped or curled ply, making for the softest and most fun looking bedlinen! The Home Republic Bree Bouclé Coconute Quilt Cover from Adairs is a great place to start.

Winnin' with linen

Now onto the more common and fail-safe option, linen! Linen isn’t only a great looking style and super comfy, there’s heaps of benefits that come with it! Linen is hypoallergenic, which means it lets your skin breathe and is great for sensitive skin. The natural breathability that linen offers is great for temperature control in the warm and in the cold. The KOO Elite Trinity Linen Quilt Cover Set in pebble from Spotlight is a perfect neutral and calming colour for your bedroom!

Homeware Tip

Once you’ve cultivated a great space full of your personality and is the perfect relaxation station, you could go the one step further and invest in an essential oils diffuser. Taking care of the air quality in your room can be even more calming, and can improve your wind down times.
