When we spend a third of our life sleeping, we should maximise the comfort and overall cosiness of our bedrooms, especially during the colder months, when days are shorter and prolonged periods of darkness awaken our natural hibernation mode.
We've put together three simple ideas on how to love the view from your pillow every morning, even when you do wake up in almost complete darkness.
1. Mix patterns...
To mirror the changing seasons, experiment with mixing patterns by adding autumnal quilts to your bed. Staying in harmony with nature during the colder months will help you stay relaxed and calm.
Don't be afraid to go for styles you are not used to...get creative and try something new this autumn.

Another trick is to add layers to your bed. Walking into your bedroom this time of year you want to feel like walking into a warm hug...and adding layers like soft blankets and velvet cushions will help you achieve this.
3. Experiment with textures
Why not experiment putting different textures together, like an organic cotton waffle throw in olive green with natural lambskin rug in dark brown, atop a perfectly crisp white bed linen.

Another relatively simple way to give your bedroom a glow up is to panel the walls to quickly create more depth and texture in the room.
Accent your bed with a single throw in a contrasting colour to your bed linen. Opt for natural materials like organic wool or cotton in textured, chunky finish.
