Get The Look: A Cosy Neutral Bedroom

Jessica Harris | July 2024

It's not a coincidence that hundreds of medical studies and health experts have waxed lyrical about the importance of sleep. So, creating a space that promotes calm and relaxation has never been so important. Studies have found that neutral tones such as beige, brown, grey, ecru and olive green have grounding effects and can even lower blood pressure making them perfect for a cosy bedroom.

Although we may not all have the square footage and budget to create a Pinterest-worthy space, at Westfield London's Home Quarter we have everything you need to transform your bedroom into an oasis. Soft furnishings, mixed textures, earthy tones and natural materials can all contribute to a relaxing aesthetic that you can't wait to spend time in. Beige is far from boring with the help of a subtle stripe print here, a boucle pillow there and the introduction of warm-toned metals such as brass and antique gold. You'll be craving early nights in no time!
