Bedrooms: cutting-edge privacy

A BEDROOM TO RELAX IN

The bedroom is one of the most private areas of the home. However, this doesn’t mean that this room should be neglected in terms of style and investment, as it serves a very important role in our wellbeing. The benefits of a good night’s sleep are receiving increasing attention, with an unrelenting emphasis on healthy living, especially across social media. Good-quality sleep puts you in a more positive mood during the day and increases your productivity, so the bedroom is quite a pivotal area of your home. The bed industry has become a pioneer in recent years, with cutting-edge technology being built into beds to provide added support for areas of your body where you most need it. There are beds that come with remote controls so they can be tilted and moved up and down, and some even have temperature controls… the list goes on. One thing is for sure: investing in a good bed can be life-changing, with some bed companies offering a lifetime guarantee. We all know that it is important to keep the bedroom as orderly as possible because, as the saying goes, “a tidy room equals a tidy mind”. This could not be more pertinent than when you are trying to relax and fall asleep, so invest in good wardrobe and storage solutions. Your bedroom should also make you feel at home, and adding elements such as texture in the form of throws and cushions, as well as personal decorative items, will help make the room feel personal to you. Here is some inspiration…

The Fluttua by Lago is the first suspended bed in the world that seemingly defies the force of gravity, giving the sense that you are floating on air. The discreet single central support, which can be adjusted in height, supports the frame and the innovative HPL base.

The engineering and meticulous testing behind the design mean that the bed can be installed on most walls and plasterboard, ensuring the utmost safety. Lago is available through Alison Bethell-Collins Interior Design in Avda. del Mediterráneo, San Pedro de Alcántara (www.alisonbethellcollins.com) and Siesta Interior Design in Centro Plaza in Nueva Andalucía (www.siestainteriordesign.com).
