For a quick and easy bedroom makeover that could also lead to better sleep at night, soft furnishings are key.

That is according to Standard Media, which claims that soft furnishings are the easiest solution to the problem of personalising a bedroom space.

It recommends embroidered silk or silk brocade to cover soft furnishings.

This could include bed sheets and may lead to good sleep at night from being enveloped in luxurious linens.

When it comes to curtains, the website suggests: "Thick curtains offer privacy while velvet endures heavy use and is ideal for humid places.

"White lace curtains on the other hand inspire a relaxed and comfortable feel reminiscent of a romantic getaway."

Interior designer Jonathan Adler also recommends soft furnishings as a quick decor fix, suggesting to yourhome.ca that throw pillows are a good way to change the look of a bedroom quickly and cheaply.

Experts claim that adults need between six and eight hours of sleep at night, suggesting that investment in soft furnishings is a must.
