When it comes to bed linen, The White Company is hard to beat! 'Looking for classic white bed linen?' says Ginevra. 'Look no further. The added details of this Santorini 200-thread-count pure-cotton percale bed linen , including the hand-stitched ladder finish, really set this range apart.'

'Sustainable and stylish, The Wood Flooring Co's No-Vinyl Tiles have an acoustic backing and cork underlay to make it perfect for use in a bedroom,' says Ginevra. Each tile each tile consists of over 90% renewable, raw materials, so this flooring offers an environmentally conscious choice for your bedroom, too.

Ideal Home's resident expert on everything you need to know about air quality, the Blueair 3250i air purifier is highly rated by Amy. 'Far more stylish than other models on the market, this whisper-quiet machine produces clean, purified air as you sleep,' she says.

Best sofa bed

Not all of us are lucky enough to have space for a large guest bedroom, which is why a good sofa bed is a great space-saving option for overnight guests. 'When pulled out, Emma's smart and super-versatile sofa bed can be used as a double or split for two singles,' says Amy. 'Plus the 200 night trial is such a huge bonus.'

Highly commended: Bridgman Ludlow sofa bed; Dusk Soho sofa bed

Best bedroom storage

When it comes to keeping your bedroom tidy, well-designed storage solutions are a must, and The Painted Furniture Company's Modula range has an option to suit any space. 'Build your own configuration from the wide selection of modular units and colourways available. This is genius way to solve all your bedroom storage needs,' says Heather.
