How to Style Your Bedroom for Sleep

Struggling to drift off or stay asleep? You’re not alone - and your bedroom might be partly to blame. The colours you choose, the lighting you use, and even the scents you choose for your candles and diffusers can make a huge difference to how well you sleep.

Here’s how to turn your bedroom into the ultimate sleep sanctuary - for the sweetest dreams and the freshest mornings.

1. Pick Calming Colours

Science says some colours help your brain switch off. Blues and greens are especially calming - they can lower your heart rate and soothe a busy mind, making it easier to fall asleep.

Our favourite sleep-friendly shades from Farrow & Ball: 

Lobster

A warm, vibrant hue that feels fresh and uplifting.

 

Kakelugn

A cool light blue that feels elegant and serene.

 

Vardo

A rich blue-green with a warm and grounded vibe.

 

Blue Maize

A bold sophisticated blue that brings a clean and modern feel to your walls.

 

2.  Switch to Cosy Lighting

Bright ceiling lights wake up your brain - not ideal when you’re trying to unwind! Use bedside lamps or candles instead. Soft, warm light helps signal your body to produce melatonin (the sleep hormone) so you can naturally drift off.

 

3. Soothe Your Mind with Lavender

Lavender is nature’s sleep superstar. Studies show pure lavender essential oil has a direct calming effect on the nervous system and can ease anxious thoughts. Try a lavender-scented candle, pillow spray, or diffuser to set the scene for deep rest.

 

4. Keep It Quiet

Noise can ruin deep sleep. Shut doors, invest in thick curtains to block street sounds, and avoid running noisy appliances like the dishwasher or tumble dryer overnight.

 

5. Make It Super Comfy

Your bed should be the cosiest spot in your home. Choose bedding that suits the season, pillows that support your head just right, and sheets that feel soft against your skin. Cold feet? A pair of fluffy socks can work wonders for helping you drift off.
