How to make your bedroom cosy for winter

How to make your bedroom cosy for winter

by Les Halliwell

The temperatures are dropping. Nights are getting darker.

Summer is officially over.

Whether you're excited for the seasons ahead, and all the festivities they bring, or dreading dreary weather and digging out your knitwear, getting your winter bedroom ready should be high up on your agenda to make autumn and winter that bit more enjoyable (or bearable, if you're more like the latter!)

In this article, our experts at TV Bed explore our favourite bedroom ideas for winter, to help you make the most of the cosy season ahead.

Up your duvet tog

The nights can get super chilly, which means it's the perfect time to ditch your summer duvet and swap it for something a little thicker to keep you warm come bedtime.

For winter, sleep experts recommend a duvet with a tog rating of anywhere between 13.5 to 15 – with 13.5 being the classic choice, and 15 perfect for if your bedroom gets particularly cold. However, everyone is different, so your final choice depends entirely on your personal preference and comfort level.

Complete with a comfy matching duvet set, and you're good to go all season long!

Opt for warm lighting

Lighting really does make all the difference when it comes to creating a snug space for the winter months, and there are plenty of ways you can upgrade your setup.

Simply switching your current bulbs for a warm-toned option instead can do the trick nicely, but if you want to take it one step further, you can install dimmers to control the brightness and use pendants with fabric shades or opaque glass to soften the lighting.

Floor lamps, bedside table lamps, and even the warm glow of candles or fairy lights (which, in our opinion, are a winter bedroom staple!) can give you the added warmth you need to transform your space – adding a sense of calm to see you through cold winter nights.

Get cosy with faux fur throws and cushions

Nothing says winter bedroom decor like fluffy blankets and cushions, and they're the ultimate addition if you want to make your room feel warm and inviting during the colder months.

Warm, cruelty-free, and easy to care for, these luxurious additions will keep you comfortable all winter long, and make your bed the ideal place for you to snuggle up with a good book or rewatch your favourite Christmas movie to get you into the spirit of things, because it's never too early!

With various textures, patterns, and colours available, you're bound to find something that looks great in your space.

Warm up the walls with fresh paint

If you want to go OTT with your decor, why not add a fresh lick of paint?

Sometimes it's all you need to transform your space, and warm, rich tones – such as terracotta, olive green, muted reds – or even a warm neutral colour palette or moody blues and dark greys – can prevent your room from feeling clinical and cold as the temperature drops outside.

Incorporate natural elements

Adding natural elements, like wood and plants, can help create a soothing, grounding atmosphere, allowing you to bring the best of the outdoors in.

Incorporate decor like woven baskets and wooden picture frames, linen fabrics, and seasonal fresh flowers, or even faux greenery, to bring a touch of texture and colour to your bedroom.

Beat the winter blues with a TV bed

As the temperature drops, having a cosy, perfect winter bedroom makes all the difference, and the ultimate addition – be it a gift to yourself or a loved one – is a TV bed.

We have a range of options available, here at TV Bed, so there's something to suit every space. Whether you're binging the latest Netflix release, playing video games, or catching up on reality TV, you can do it in comfort and style.

Level up your space: Top 5 tips for creating the ultimate bedroom gaming setup

Level up your space: Top 5 tips for creating the ultimate bedroom gaming setup

Multi-functional spaces are all the rage in 2025, and what better way to lean into the trend than with a bedroom that doubles as your gaming space? There are plenty of ways you can upgrade your setup to give you the best of both worlds, from gaming desks and mini fridges to LED lights and even gaming TV beds. So gamers, listen up! In this article, our experts at TV Bed share their top tips to help you create the ultimate gaming bedroom that combines comfort, functionality, and style for an experience like no other. Start with the centrepiece: a gaming TV bed If you want to enjoy extended gaming sessions, but don’t want to leave the warmth and comfort of your bed, a TV gaming bed is the ideal solution. Delivering the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics, our gaming TV beds allow you to get comfortable and game in style, whilst offering a space-saving solution for all your consoles, wires, and other accessories. These beds also feature a range of built-in features – like dual USB charging ports and retractable headphone holders – to take your gaming experience to the next level. Choose the right screen size  One of the most crucial parts of getting a TV bed is the screen size you choose, as it affects room aesthetics, viewing experiences, and your overall comfort. A screen that’s too large can be overwhelming, or worse, cause neck and eye strain when viewed from close up in bed, while a smaller screen might limit immersion. But how do you choose the perfect screen size? The ideal screen size depends on the size of your space and viewing distance, as well as your personal preference for a comfortable (and functional!) entertainment setup. Our Merlin Gaming TV Bed can comfortably accommodate any modern TV up to 43 inches, so keep this in mind when shopping. Optimise your storage space From chargers and controllers to headsets, games, and the console itself, being a gamer requires you to free up plenty of storage space. But of course, this won’t be a problem with a TV gaming bed. As we touched on earlier, these beds are the ideal space-saving solution for smaller rooms, featuring built-in ottoman storage for you to keep all of your essentials within reach. Of course, you could continue cramming everything in your desk drawer, but if you want to keep your setup to a minimum, a gaming TV bed is definitely the way to go. Set the mood with lighting Atmospheric lighting is a must in every gamer’s room. LED strip lights and neon wall lights are a popular option – illuminating your space without stealing your focus away from the game. Again, there’s no need for you to search for this separately, as our TV gaming bed comes with built-in, colour-changing LED lights to add the ambience. Don’t forget to accessorise! Extended gaming sessions require good posture and comfort, so investing in quality bedding and cushions, like one of our BedPal XL Bed Chairs, for example, is key. To accessorise your room even further, add bedside tables, like the matching Merlin Side Units, to keep all your necessities within easy reach, and consider extras like blackout curtains, mini fridges, and memorabilia to inject some personality into your new space. Need expert advice? Creating the ultimate gaming bedroom setup is about the right balance of comfort, function, and design. If you need help designing the ideal space or would like to know more about our gaming TV beds at TV Bed, we’re here for you.

How to make a bedroom look bigger

How to make a bedroom look bigger

les hIf you’ve got a small bedroom, then you’ll know just how cramped and uncomfortable they can feel. There’s next to no storage space, mess builds up quickly, and decorating is particularly difficult. Luckily, though, there a several clever design tricks you can use to make your space appear larger and more inviting.  Whether you're working with limited space or just want to make your bedroom feel more open, our experts at TV Bed share their top tips for making your bedroom look bigger. Use light colours for walls and furniture One of the easiest ways to make your bedroom feel larger is to opt for soft, neutral tones for walls and furniture.  Whites, light greys, and soft pastels reflect light, making the space feel airier and much more expansive.  Try to avoid heavy, dark colours or overbearing patterns as much as possible, as they can make a room feel more enclosed. Maximise natural light Natural light works wonders in small areas, and a well-lit room will always feel bigger and more inviting! If you’re dealing with a closed-in feel, keep windows clear of heavy curtains, and instead opt for lightweight sheer curtains or blinds to allow more natural light to flow through your room. Keep furniture to a minimum and choose pieces that work smarter Clutter is one of the biggest culprits in making a space feel smaller. Of course, if you have limited square footage, it makes most sense to opt for fewer pieces of furniture and ensure that each item serves a functional purpose.  When shopping around, look for pieces with built-in storage to reduce visual clutter, and consider choosing pieces that sit off the floor, like floating shelves and beds with raised frames, to create the illusion of more space. Likewise, by combining a comfortable bed with a built-in television that rises and retracts at the touch of a button, a TV bed saves space by eliminating the need for a separate TV stand or media console.  What’s more, with their clean, sleek design, they contribute to a minimalist aesthetic, helping your room feel less cluttered and more spacious whilst bringing a welcome touch of luxury. For a stylish, functional solution for your bedroom, explore our range of TV beds online today! Hang mirrors to reflect space If you want to visually expand your room, don’t underestimate the power of simply hanging a mirror. Place a large mirror on one wall to reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space, and experiment with groups of smaller mirrors around the rest of the room to create a stylish, contemporary feel. Use vertical space wisely  Walls offer valuable storage space, particularly in smaller bedrooms. So, consider installing shelves above your bed or desk space for books, plants, and other decor.  You could also choose a tall wardrobe instead of a wide one to help free up floor space and give you more room to store your belongings. Need more expert tips? Making a small bedroom feel bigger is all about smart design choices.  By incorporating light colours, reducing clutter, and using clever furniture options like TV beds, you can create a space that feels open, comfortable, and stylish, no matter how small the room is.

Unleashing the power of sound: How audio contributes to your viewing pleasure

Unleashing the power of sound: How audio contributes to your viewing pleasure

Cosy blankets. Fresh popcorn. The big screen all to yourself… Nothing beats an at-home movie night. However, when it comes to creating the ultimate cinema experience in the comfort of your own home, sound is just as important as the visuals, and no matter if you’re watching the latest horror or settling down with your favourite sitcom, immersive audio makes all the difference. But great sound doesn’t just belong in our living rooms. In this blog, our experts at TV Bed explore the importance of a good sound setup for your at-home film nights and how a surround sound TV bed could be the perfect addition to your space. Why does sound matter? The spine-tingling suspense of a thriller. The rumbling of an action scene. The quiet whispered line that reels you in. Sound plays a huge part in how we experience shows, movies, and video games - especially in the bedroom, where you’re closer to the screen and speakers. With a TV bed, especially one equipped with True Sound 5.1 or Dolby Atmos surround sound, you can feel every moment with your favourite characters, and turn casual watching into a full-on sensory experience. What’s the difference between True Sound 5.1 and Dolby Atmos sound? Speaking of True Sound and Dolby Atmos, these are two names that stand out in the world of immersive audio. Both deliver impressive surround sound, theatre-like experiences, but they do so in slightly different ways. Whilst True Sound 5.1 systems use five strategically placed speakers and a subwoofer to place you at the centre of the action, Dolby Atmos systems add a vertical dimension by simulating overhead sound, creating a 3D, room-filling effect. Advantages of surround sound TV beds Immersive experience Whichever surround sound TV bed you choose, an immersive at-home cinema experience is guaranteed, thanks to the speaker system built into the frame. You’ll feel in on all the action, and the best part is, you don’t even have to move from your bed!  Clear dialogue Surround sound TV beds, particularly those equipped with True Sound 5.1 technology, provide a clear and direct path for dialogue, thanks to the central speaker. This speaker also ensures that dialogue sounds come directly from the screen, rather than off to the side, which again, places you front and centre with all your favourite characters – guaranteeing you don't miss a word. Balanced sound By accurately capturing a range of high and low frequency sounds, both Dolby Atmos and True Sound 5.1 systems provide beautifully balanced sound when watching movies or TV shows, playing video games, or streaming your favourite songs.  Versatility With both HDMI and Bluetooth connectivity options, both True Sound and Dolby Atmos systems can be used to enhance sound whilst streaming music from your phone, playing games on your console, or catching up on your favourite TV shows. Need help choosing the perfect surround sound TV bed? At TV Bed, we’re proud to offer a range of luxurious surround sound TV beds, equipped with only the best technology to provide you with the ultimate at-home cinema experience.
