1. Go with natural fibres

Natural fibres such as Egyptian Cotton and Flax Linen are great at offering perfect insulation during the colder months while ensuring your skin is able to “breathe”.

2. Insulate your mattress

Did you know that 30% of the warmth you generate in bed is lost through your mattress? Keep the warmth where it belongs with a luxury mattress topper. Designed like a fitted sheet, they are soft and puffy, warm as toast and double up as a mattress protector.

3. Snuggle at Club Duvet

Duvet inners come in so many varieties it can be difficult to choose the right one for you. Our favourite is down, either goose or duck. Choosing the correct weight or tog is the trick. Autumn weight (10/11 tog) is the one we would recommend for South African winters. Even though a pure down duvet can be pricey, if chosen well you will use it for decades.

We don’t all have the privilege of having a fireplace in our bedroom, but by imitating some of Mother Nature’s tricks we can easily cozy up our bedrooms this winter.

1. Warm glow

Light colour has a huge influence on our perception of temperature. Yellow light creates a warmer atmosphere, while white light can feel cold and clinical, so change the globes in your bedroom to “warm white” to create a warm ambience.

2. Paint a wall

Choose a feature wall and paint it a dark, warm colour or choose a wallpaper with texture and depth. Whether charcoal grey or brick red these colours all have a warming effect.

3. Light your own fire

Create your own “fire” with a collection of scented candles. Choose candles in heavy glass holders or beautiful stands with warm winter aromas of sandalwood, cinnamon and vanilla.

4. Get the feels with texture

Mother Nature if full of textures. Bring them into your bedroom in scatter cushions, upholstery, throws and carpets to create depth and ultimately, a cosy look and feel.

5. Snug in a rug

Insulate the floor around and under your bed with well chosen rugs and remember keep the colour neutral. A slightly higher pile in a bedroom works well. If your floors are carpet-free, a loose rug is the answer. Remember to get the size right; you should be able to walk comfortably around your bed on the rug.

6. Draw those curtains

Cold penetrates glass very quickly so create a barrier using block out lining on curtaining to keep the cold at bay. It also has the benefit of keeping out the light for a great afternoon snooze, but remember that just as they will keep out the cold, heavy curtains will also keep out the sun, so fling them open on those sunny days and let in the warm sunshine.

Pile on the layers

Much like when we dress ourselves for a cold winter day, your bed’s winter makeup starts with layers. Start with the floor beneath your bed first. A rug under your bed especially if you have tiled or screed floors.

Next, give your mattress a luxury mattress topper which doubles up as a mattress protector. Just as a lofty down duvet will fold around your body and keep in the warmth, so a luxury topper cradles your body on a soft cloud that is a fantastic insulator.

Opt for a an autumn or all seasons weight down duvet inner to ward off the winter temperatures.

Warm up with colour and texture

As our wardrobes move to darker, textured clothing for the cooler seasons so should your bedding, it’s time to pack away your favourite white linen until Spring and bring in a warmer darker palette. Think grey and neutrals with rich browns, metallic and dusty forest greens for accents.

Your sheets, duvet cover and pillowcases needn’t to be the same colour. Instead, layer darker and lighter neutrals on top of one another to create depth and interest.

All Falucca Fine Linen products are sold separately so you can layer in different shades from our Signature Collection. We suggest starting with Shadow fitted sheet, adding a Charcoal duvet cover and a pair of Bold Border pillowcases in Shadow and Charcoal. Then bring in a new texture with a pair of Charcoal pillowcases from our True Linen Collection.

Add a few textured scatters and a cosy throw in your favourite neutral colours to complete the look. Not only will your bed be heaven to sleep in, it will look fabulous too!
