- The choice of furniture: favor natural materials, such as wood and rattan, when choosing your furniture. Spacious wardrobe with mirrors to create an illusion of space, bedside table with a designer lamp for a cocooning morning, and a large bamboo or oak bed for sweet nights.
- The mattress: choose the size of your bed according to the size of your room. If you have enough space, opt for a double bed. Then buy a mattress that suits your needs. In foam to follow the natural curves of the spine or in latex for its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
