Summary

In this episode Kate and Sophie take a deep dive under the duvet to unpick how bedroom design can contribute to optimum rest and recuperation. With more data coming out every year on the importance of sleep to our health, happiness and longevity, it’s time to plump your pillows and get serious. While Kate likes to be cocooned in a tonal blend of cosy colours, Sophie has just redecorated her bedroom in an acid bright maximalist wallpaper complete with geometric striped headboard.
