Get your bedroom ready for winter in an afternoon: linen, wool and a lamp you do not have to look for

With three changes your bedroom feels like a hotel room in winter. No renovation needed, but a good duvet cover is.

In summer the bedroom is the place you want to leave as quickly as possible; in winter it is the place you never want to leave. A few changes help with that. We do it every year around this time, on a Sunday afternoon.

Switch to linen

Linen sounds like a summer fabric, but it works all year round. It wicks moisture away, so you do not sweat under a warm duvet. And it gets softer with every wash. A crumpled linen bed always looks made, even when you are not.

Build up layers

Lay a knitted throw over the foot of the bed and add two extra pillows. That way you can read sitting up in the evening and pull the throw over when it gets really cold.

Light you do not have to look for

A rechargeable lamp on the bedside table is a small luxury. No cord, no plug behind the bed, and you can take it to the windowsill or the bathroom. Choose a dimmable one, so you can turn it down when your partner is already asleep.
