Cosy Bedrooms

With the autumnal air greeting us in the mornings, it is clear that winter is not too far behind.

Plan ahead and create a cosy winter escape in your bedroom that will make it almost impossible to leave. Georgia Metcalfe, Founder & Creative Director of French Bedroom shares her top tips on how

to update your bedroom for the season ahead and beyond.

Dark Woods:

Dark wooden product sales at French Bedroom have seen an 84.65% increase from 2024 to 2025. Dark wooden furniture is now officially back en vogue, the rich and warm tones of dark wood creating a welcoming and cocooning atmosphere, ideal for the bedroom. When paired with clean lines and brass hardware,

dark pieces create the perfect backdrop for showcasing exceptional accessories and embodying a sense of timeless elegance.

Faux Furs:

French Bedroom had a 160% increase in searches on our website for “faux fur” for July 2025 vs August 2025. Faux fur is the perfect way to introduce warmth and comfort into your bedroom. Opt for a deep chocolate shade to complement dark wooden furniture or choose rich berry tones to layer in colour and texture. However you style it, faux fur brings a luxurious softness that makes chilly autumn nights feel all the more inviting.

Rugs:

Rugs can be a wonderful way to bring detail, pattern, or colour into your bedroom. A neutral rug featuring a pop of colour in keeping with the room’s colour palette can add a point of interest and

unify the scheme, while a rug with a scalloped edge or a pretty pattern will add visual interest and detail to any minimal interior scheme. “I always opt for something heavy on textural interest; a soft deep pile rug, patterned, plain or laser cut, will always feel luxurious and cosy underfoot, making it that little bit easier to jump out of bed on an autumnal morning” Georgia Metcalfe, Founder & Creative Director, French Bedroom.

Lighting:

Lighting is key to creating a bedroom that feels warm and inviting. Gentle bedside lamps or the flicker of scented candles will cast a soft glow, instantly adding cosiness and calm. Autumnal scents such as Warm Musk & Black Vanilla or Bourbon Sugar & Tobacco Leaf will infuse the space with a soothing richness, while bulbs in warm tones of amber or gold create a relaxing atmosphere that feels endlessly cosy.
