Curtains
Curtains or voiles paired with roman blinds are a step in the right direction. You can turn your bedroom into a haven of luxury by adding layers, textures, and definition to your home this way. If your bedroom boasts two windows, you can add symmetry in pairing the same set of blinds and curtains with beautiful, statement tie backs for a room that gives a relaxing presence and feel throughout. After all, you deserve only the best. You can even consider looking at made to measure for the real luxurious touch.
Bedding
Always invest in quality when purchasing bedding for a bedroom, you’ll be using this every night. You need insulation, warmth, and comfort. Not to mention something that is kind to your skin and hair. If you have particularly sensitive skin and hair, look into a real silk pillowcase and duvet, you’ll find you have a reduction in spots given the antibacterial and hypoallergenic aspect.
Scents
With the right balance of scents in your room, you’ll feel like you’re walking on cloud nine. The best bedroom fragrances to invest in are those that induce sleep and calming feelings around. The best scents for helping you to unwind and relax are:

- Lemon
- Cinnamon
