Create your dream bedroom – 5 stylish tips from our Creative Director

Your bedroom is more than just a place to sleep; it serves as a sanctuary for relaxation. Designing your dream bedroom is about harmonising style and comfort, transforming the space into a luxurious oasis that reflects your personal taste.

From selecting colours and textiles to ideas on how to creating a calming atmosphere, here are five insightful tips from our Creative Director, Catherine Wehtje Hustad, to help you cultivate a bedroom that embodies your aspirations.

1. Establish an elegant framework
Begin with a soft, inviting colour palette for your walls and curtains. Framing your bed with a stylish headboard, a tailored bed skirt, and tasteful bedside tables creates an air of sophistication. Warm lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere and a soft ambiance. Plenty of plush cushions and fluffy down duvets are essential for achieving that inviting, indulgent feel.

2. Select bed linen that harmonises style and comfort
Bedding is key to both style and comfort. In a monochromatic room, consider adding patterned bed linen for a touch of character. Conversely, if your walls are decorated with patterns, choose more plain sheets. The choice of fabric is equally vital; at Mille Notti, we are quality enthusiasts, so we have developed the finest materials for various preferences – from crisp percale to silky satin, and my personal favourite, linen.

3. Enhance with textiles that transform the space
The right textiles can elevate your bedroom from the ordinary to the extraordinary. A beautiful bedspread at the foot of the bed, accompanied by decorative cushions in front of the pillows, creates a layered look. My current favourite is the new Durham bedspread in ivory, which harmonises beautifully with my aqua-hued bedroom, adding a touch of luxury without overwhelming the senses.

4. Infuse colour and personal touches
Finding a balance between elegance and individuality is key in the bedroom. The hues of your walls, curtains, and rugs significantly influence the atmosphere. I love adding personal details such as cherished photographs or your current reading material on the bedside table. Embrace the opportunity to decorate your bedroom with the same flair you would apply to other spaces in your home—it should feel vibrant.

5. Cultivate a refreshing atmosphere
My top tip for a welcoming bedroom is to make your bed each morning. Smooth the sheets, fluff the pillows, and shake out the duvet. Don’t forget to let in some fresh air! I always sleep with the window slightly open, allowing a cool breeze to flow in - this not only enhances your sleep but also revitalises the room.
