There is no getting away from the fact this has been a mad year. With the ever-present threat of impending doom looming large, I have been finding solace in my bedroom.
It might have grim brown carpets, ones that my landlord will not change, and trams whizzing past every five minutes, but it has become my favourite place to retreat. By really considering what I was lacking in the communal areas of my home, I have been able to create a space that is specifically designed to be a calming, special place just for me.
Here are a few ways you can transform your space from snore (pun intended) into a sanctuary:
Upgrade your bedding
Stunning sheets don’t just belong in 5-star hotels. Whilst high thread count sheets can seem expensive, you need to bear in mind you are spending a huge chunk of your week snuggled in between them.
Brands like Dusk and Linenbundle offer really high-quality bedding at a really reasonable price, just be sure to go for a neutral shade to ensure longevity.

Stop what you are doing and buy a diffuser
Bought on a whim, my diffuser has become one of my most prized possessions. Not only does it keep the air in my room filled with moisture – which helps keeps skin hydrated and prevents dry and cracked lips – but mine allows you to pick mood lighting to add to the experience.
If you are feeling plush, Neom’s wellbeing pod is a market leader, but there are plenty more budget-friendly options online.
Just remember that essential oils are magic and well worth investing in. Splash out for pure formulas to ensure you are maximising the experience. Scents like Eucalyptus, Orange Blossom and Lavender will have your room smelling like a spa in no time.
Tidy up
This is so simple but an absolute game-changer. Taking the time each morning to make sure your room is neat and tidy ensures that it is a welcoming environment to return home to.
Storage solutions like wicker baskets are perfect for all the bits and bobs you struggle to find a home for and a nice alternative to shoving it in a corner. Those lucky enough to have some additional wall space should consider investing in some ladder shelving, as they don’t require being drilled in place.
