For me, your bedroom should be a haven, a place to escape the world and rest your head. The design and furniture should be practical, whilst adding to the desired zen atmosphere, because let’s face it, no one wants a chaotic space to try and have a restful night’s sleep in.

The key piece of furniture that can make or break a bedroom is, of course, the bed. After 12 years of having the same one, whilst it’s served me well, it was time to get an upgrade. One that not only fitted more with the interior design, but one that provided a great solution to storage, because you can never have too much storage.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel, and for me, you cannot beat a hotel bed. So, when it came to choosing a new one, I had an idea in mind that I’d love to snap up for myself. The bed I decided to go for was Dunelm’s Oversized Ottoman Hotel Bed Frame in Boucle, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer, transforming my bedroom.

It comes available in both double and king sizes, so you can take your pick of which fits better in your room. For the double, its original price was £799; you can now bag it for £639.20. Whereas the king size was £899, now £719.20. That’s saving over £150 on each. 

The bed is an ottoman-style, which I am obsessed with, as it perfectly maximises the potential for storage. My previous bed was an ottoman, so this was a requirement when searching for a new one, but Dunelm’s offers a lot more space in comparison. 

It comes with an extended headboard, which has two built-in drawers on either side that come already assembled; they just need attaching to the actual headboard. These are perfect for storing essentials like your night creams, or your socks and underwear.

My favourite part about this bed is the built-in sidelights, which turn on automatically as you pull them outwards from their socket. Better yet, it also has USB and USB-C sockets to charge your phone and other tech whilst kicking back and relaxing.

The upholstery is a cream boucle fabric, so it immediately adds a luxe vibe to the room, and the neutral shade means it will pair perfectly if I ever want to redecorate.

The height of the bed measures at 37cm, so when the mattress is popped on, it’s the perfect height to slide out and put your feet on the floor without using too much effort, after all, getting out of a cosy bed is hard enough.

The assembly was so straightforward. When seeing the five boxes arrive, I was slightly worried about how complicated it would be. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong; the instructions were clean and simple, so it was set up and ready within 90 minutes. 

Overall, I’m very pleasantly surprised and thrilled with this bed. It brilliantly elevates the bedroom and adds a luxe vibe to the space, making saying no to plans that much easier.
