Wind down and relax amongst natural sustainable fibres as the nights draw in. This is our autumn and winter bedroom edit — the pieces that make the shift from warm evenings to cool, dark nights feel like something to look forward to rather than endure. Natural materials only: wool, sheepskin, European linen and lavender, all chosen because they genuinely perform better than synthetic alternatives when the temperature drops.
Klippan's Gotland wool blankets in navy blue, natural grey, gorse yellow and pear make the perfect autumn bedroom layer — draped across the foot of the bed for those in-between nights when a duvet alone is either too much or not quite enough. Their recycled wool diamond weave blankets in mustard and grey and the brushed lambswool Oscar weave in amber bring slightly different weights and textures for layering through the colder months, all from that same generations-old Swedish family business. Linen Tales' 100% European stonewashed linen duvet cover sets in sage green, clay pink, white and black and white stripe are naturally temperature-regulating, keeping you cool on warmer nights and warm as the temperature drops — the kind of natural bedding that needs no ironing and gets softer every season.
For the coolest nights, British rare-breed sheepskin rugs from our own collection — in natural and brown, brown spotty, one spot, chocolate mocha and mocha and cream tones — bring a layer of warmth and texture underfoot that no rug made from synthetic fibres comes close to matching. Hot water bottle covers from Beatrice Larkin (merino wool in Ikat, Cut Light and Flint), Chickpea (lambswool gingham, pinstripe and stripe) and Owen Barry (natural sheepskin) sit at the bedside for the coldest mornings and evenings, and a Botanique Workshop linen lavender therapy pillow in gingham, indigo or multicolour check can be warmed in a microwave for soothing heat to help wind down for sleep.
