Want to make your bedroom an oasis of calm? Well as its World Sleep Day 2026 this is the perfect time to do so.
This is our guide to creating a calm bedroom; bedroom decor, decluttering, nice bedding, coherent furniture and gentle lighting are all crucial.
So lets take a gentle look at creating a calm bedroom.
It is a well known fact that some colours are more calming than others, so here are some quick bedroom colour ideas.
Whites and creams are especially unobtrusive and calming – as well as being a neutral background for any art or upholstery.
Alternatively a warm tone like a deep pink or muted orange offer a calm yet bold hue for any bedroom, whilst not being too loud.
Greens and blues are our top pick as perfect bedroom colours. Both have a calm feel, especially in a deep or pastel tone and are likely to complement most furniture styles.
Our colour of the year 2026 blog has some suggestions for using all of the above colours in your home and bedroom.
You may have heard the saying “cluttered desk, cluttered mind”, it absolutely applies to the bedroom too!
You can have the most calm and zen décor imaginable but if there are piles of clothes, books and other stuff cluttering up then it is not going to be a calm environ for unwinding and sleeping.
First step, assess if your current storage solution is adequate, do you need to use the space you have better?
If you do not have enough storage then consider what you can add or replace, some suggestions:
Wardrobe – Can you upsize for a larger one? Our Triple (or Quadruple!) wardrobes offer more internal space with only a slightly larger footprint.
Top Pick: The Vabres, 3 doors, 3 drawers and mirrored front for serious storage with extra utility built in!
Chest of Drawers – Especially if space is tight, think taller – make the most of the space above your existing chest of drawers and opt for a nice tall drawer unit.
Top Pick: The Holten, 4 Full width drawers and 2 smaller ones for added convenience all with space-expanding white gloss fronts and a wide top for some carefully curated bric.
Bedside: Forget a simple slim table and opt for something with doors and/or drawers to allow you to clear the clutter away neatly.
Top Pick: The Gent, at just over 1m tall this cabinet has a capacious storage compartment and a drawer – ideal for adding extra storage.
Of course having discussed all this bedroom furniture you might be thinking that everything needs replacing. If that is the case it is a great chance to save some money by buying a bedroom furniture set.
Not only will a bedroom set solve all your bedroom storage problems in one sweep but it will also allow you to create a coherent bedroom with matching furniture colour and styles and no jarring notes.
Top Pick: For Bedroom Furniture Sets it has to be the Anga ottoman bed storage set. Not only is this set in a stunning cashmere and oak finish but with the lift-up-storage you can minimise the extra furniture needed – perfect for an uncluttered bedroom!
So you have got your bedroom decluttered, your walls in calm hues and your bedroom furniture matching – time to consider your bedding.
Assuming you have a comfy mattress, decent pillows and a cosy duvet you need to think about whether your bedding is going to help with a good nights sleep. Whether that’s the material, the design or colour – you need your bedding to work within your space and to help with keeping the space calm.
We love some of the collections at Furn. The brushed cotton bedding for comfort and especially their striped bedding collection which we think would look amazing with a Holten bedframe.
Final thing for a calm bedroom and a great night sleep is your lighting. Nobody wants to be dazed by a 100W bulb just before bed or first thing in the morning.
Our top bedroom lighting ideas are to skip the obvious choice of bedside lamps. Not only can these become more clutter but they are a literal dust magnet! Instead think about built-in lighting solutions.
We’d recommend our Kassel bed collection, the Euro King bedframe and Super King bedframe both have built in LED Lights as standard – as well as USB chargers so you don’t even need to get up on a weekend due to low battery. Now that’s comfort.
Best of all both are available as a bedroom set with extra storage cabinets and as both ottoman or standard frames.
