Design Your Own Wellness Retreat at Home: Must-Have Bedding & Decor
Some weekends, all I want is to switch off my phone, light a candle, and wrap myself in the softest linen I own. It’s my version of checking into a retreat, except it’s just me at home, creating a pocket of peace in the middle of a busy week. Over time, I’ve come to realise that wellness doesn’t have to mean booking a spa or heading out of town. Sometimes, the most restorative place is the space you already live in; you just need to set the tone.
Turning your bedroom into a sanctuary of calm is easier than you think. By layering in soothing colours, soft textures, and intentional design choices, you can build a space that feels like your personal wellness retreat. The kind where you wake up slower, breathe deeper, and go to sleep feeling more grounded.
Start with a Wellness Mindset
Before diving into bedding and decor, start with intention. What does wellness look like to you? For some, it’s morning journaling in a quiet corner. For others, it’s sinking into bed with soft sheets after a long day. When you define what wellness looks like, it becomes easier to design for it.
A few questions to help shape your retreat:
What helps you feel rested?
When do you feel most grounded?
What colours or textures make you breathe deeper?
Once you’re clear on the feeling, you can start creating your physical wellness space.

Set the Wellness Mood with Earthy Tones
Colour plays a subtle but powerful role in our wellness and how we feel. Earth-inspired hues like terracotta, sage green, oat, and clay evoke a sense of nature, calmness, and warmth—a perfect palette for a bedroom that prioritises wellness.
Instead of repainting walls, try layering your bedding like this:
Begin with the Soft Cottage Ribbon Bedding Set for that soft, lived-in comfort
Add warmth with a textured Chiffon Quilted Ruffle Pillowcase
Finish with a Fluffy Plush Throw Blanket draped across the end of your bed

Layer for Comfort and Depth
One of the simplest ways to create a wellness-like space is by layering your bedding. But it’s not just about tossing pillows on the bed — think texture, weight, and flow. Start with the French Linen Cotton Bedding Bundle as your calming base, then add the Assorted Bed Sheets for contrast. Top it off with a relaxed throw at the foot of the bed. This mix of textures creates the comforting, cocoon-like feeling that wellness spaces are known for.

Add Little Ritual Corners
Big changes aren’t always necessary. Sometimes, a small space can shift your wellness routine. Add a corner chair, a woven stool, or a bedside shelf and let it become your ‘pause place’; a linen cushion also adds both function and softness.
Whether you sip tea, meditate, or simply sit in stillness, these corners become reminders to slow down and make space for you and your wellness.

Let Nature In
Nothing says wellness like bringing the outside in. Nature adds texture, movement, and softness that technology can’t compete with.
Keep the curtains open during the day to let sunlight in
Decorate with dried florals or a single branch in a ceramic vase
Let your linens breathe — open windows and freshen up the space

Declutter with Purpose
A bedroom filled with clutter can feel busy rather than calming. Declutter intentionally by asking if it supports my wellness, or if it's just taking up space. Keep surfaces clear, let colours flow, and only hold onto pieces that serve a purpose or bring peace. The Pumpkin Orange Solid Bedding Set is a great example of something simple yet impactful — minimal in style, but big on comfort and wellness.

Build Your Slow Wellness Rituals
Creating a wellness retreat at home doesn’t mean overhauling your life or redecorating overnight. It’s about making small, thoughtful choices that bring more calm into your wellness every day.
With time, your bedroom becomes more than just a place to sleep — it becomes a wellness-inspired space that gently reminds you to care for yourself.
At Ever Lasting, we value wellness and hope that we can help contribute positively to yours.
