The season is changing as we are saying goodbye to summers, and it’s time to look forward to seeing what autumn and winter bring. This time of the year in Australia is bright and clear during the days and dry and cold at nights. When the weather sometimes doesn’t play nice, there is nothing better than spending more time indoors, curling up in your warm bed, watching Netflix, or sipping a warm coffee. Also, you have to keep the heating on 24/7, which means your energy bills must go up, so here are some budget-friendly tips for your bedroom to make it warm, cozy, and ready for winters. Here are our 5 favourite tips to get your bedroom winter ready:
1. PICK YOUR SHEETS
Changing your bedding for colder months is an excellent way to revamp your bedroom. Look for sheets that are made from 100% cotton in 200 to 800 thread count, or bamboo, linen, or Lyocell, or even hybrids of these fabrics. These sheets feel smooth and soft to the touch and keep you warm. Choose neutral or white sheets or add some colours for winters in terms of deep shades like greys, black, and beige. Also with any time of the year, make sure to wash your sheets on a regular basis as there is no better feeling than getting into a freshly made bed with fresh, smooth, and clean sheets.
2. FRESHEN UP YOUR QUILT
It’s time to check that your quilt is clean and is in good condition and the filling isn’t lumpy. Wrap up your quilt with a fresh and clean quilt cover that will help you to stay cozy, warm, and comfortable even if it’s freezing outside. Old and stained quilt covers are not worth hanging on to, especially with the sales on at all times of the year. If you want something that can get you on your bed straight away, try something like Waffle Pink Quilt cover to reinvigorate your bedroom with a fresh and contemporary look.

3. USE BLACKOUT CURTAINS
One of the most effective ways to refine your bedroom during the colder months is to pick thick, heavy curtains. Blackout curtains are ideal for blocking out the light and for keeping the room dark. As these curtains are thicker than normal curtains, they can also trap the warmth in your room to create a cozy atmosphere. Although, you will want to block out the light, you also need to make sure that you get lots of fresh air and sunlight during the day, so try to open the windows and draw the curtains whenever possible. Additionally, these heavy curtains can be a brilliant way to add colour and style to your bedroom.
4. COSIFY YOUR BED
Putting some extra cushions, fur pillows, and throws on your bed will keep you even cosier and warmer, besides making your bed look inviting and well dressed. Bring in some extra throw pillows or cushions for the cooler months as they will make your bed something plush to snuggle into. Put small toss cushions in front of each sleeping pillows, or one long narrow lumbar cushion in front. Choose throws in chunky knit or plaid flannel to achieve a casual elegance. A furry throw can make you feel like your bed is giving you a furry bear hug. Layering your bed with different textures can make your bed look and feel further cosy, warm, and inviting.
5. LIT SOME CANDLES AND FAIRY LIGHTS
Lighting some candles and fairy lights around your bedroom can make it feel cosier and warmer. They can also make your room look very homely, pretty, and make your room smell so amazing. Seasonal scented candles are yet another fantastic addition to your bedroom in autumn and winter, as they can add visual appeal along with an improving light and smell of the room that you will never want to leave your room. Another way to create a relaxation haven is to add some fairy lights in your bedroom. These fairy lights can be used in different ways and can make your bedroom feel like a cozy, magical space.
