Hey neighbours,
What if your bedroom is secretly the reason you’re not sleeping well?
Not the stress. Not the coffee. Not even the late-night scrolling — it could be your space itself.

What if your bedroom is secretly the reason you’re not sleeping well?
Not the stress. Not the coffee. Not even the late-night scrolling — it could be your space itself.
The good news? Turning your room into a cosy sleep sanctuary is easier than you think.
A few simple tweaks can make a massive difference:
1. Calm, soothing colours
2. Clutter-free corners
3. Comfy, quality bedding
4. Smart storage + multifunctional furniture
5. Eco-friendly materials for a fresher feel
6. A touch of tech (only the helpful kind!)

The couple have lived in their large, sunny serviced apartment for four years now and still can’t quite believe what a good score it was.
“It was the best thing we’ve done,” says June. “It’s north facing, so it gets lots of light, and it’s a good size, so I’ve got room for my card-making supplies.”

We've rescued about five young Camellia Setsugekka plants from a revamp of a garden area. No more room within our Camellia hedge - so hoping there might be someone who would like these. Free to collect. I have them resting temporarily in this pot. Not my best photography!
