Pared back Scandi-chic minimalism is fine in summer, but the winter bedroom needs to combine a cocoon of opulent comfort with a little theatrical extravagance. Think of it as telling your own bedtime story.

Set the scene with a dramatic bed or statement headboard, folk-tale or eastern influenced furniture and luxurious accents. Indulge your senses with blissfully warm bedding ike throws in wool, fake fur or touchable velvet. Lanterns or fairy lights can add a romantic touch, while a scented candle or linen spray can take you to Russia’s imperial palaces, Moroccan souks or on an oriental adventure. Sweet dreams!
