Smart sleep
Small innovations can make a big difference. Harvey Norman is combining form and function with its smart bedroom furniture range.
We’re big fans of making our sleep sanctuaries a little smarter. No, we’re not talking about completing a Sudoku in bed each night. Instead, this season is all about introducing smart (yet subtle) bedroom technology that effortlessly integrates into your nightly routine, helping you wake feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. It’s just about finding pieces that do it well.
Our pick: Jasper Queen Bed Frame
Throw away any preconceived notions of a smart bed frame coming with built-in VR goggles. The Jasper queen bed frame discreetly integrates technology into classic timber styling, allowing you to enjoy a warm, inviting aesthetic while smart features quietly work behind the scenes.
- Listen up: Discreet Bluetooth speakers built into the headboard allow you to connect your device and enjoy your favourite music, podcasts and audiobooks from the comfort of bed, delivering immersive sound.
- Light the way: Ambient LED base lighting gently illuminates the floor at the touch of a button. No more stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
- Plugged in: The USB-A and USB-C charging ports on either side of the bed frame provide convenient charging for multiple devices without the clutter of power boards and cables.
Perfect pairing: Jasper two-drawer bedside table
Are you planning a full bedroom upgrade? Proving that modern technology doesn’t necessarily mean compromising on style, the Jasper two-drawer bedside table echoes the same warm timber tones and contemporary design. It’s what’s hidden inside the bedside drawers is where the smart features really shine.
- Nightly recharge: Concealed wireless charging pads built into the tabletop provide effortless charging for compatible devices. Simply place your phone and let it charge.
Clear the clutter
As the old adage goes: Tidy space, tidy mind
A well-organised bedroom feels calmer, functions better and allows you to enjoy your space more fully. If you find yourself feeling anxious or struggling to switch off at night, take note of your surroundings.
Are there piles of clothes on the floor? Overflowing surfaces? Clutter competing for your attention?
It might not sound glamorous, but the right storage can transform a bedroom. Keeping your bedside table and surrounding area clutter-free helps signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down.
Spotlight on storage beds
Perfect for apartment dwellers and townhouse owners, storage beds are one of our favourite hidden heroes. Transforming the space beneath your mattress into valuable storage can help keep a bedroom organised and clutter-free.
Well-designed modern storage beds feature gas-lift mechanisms, integrated drawers and hidden compartments. Harvey Norman offers a range of options in a variety of timber and fabric designs. Spare bedding and seasonal clothing can all be tucked away, leaving your bedroom feeling tidy and serene.
Make room for more
Need more storage? If your wardrobes are lacking space for your clothing, invest in one of Harvey Norman’s chic lowboys or tallboys.
Style the top of your lowboy or tallboy with a lamp, framed photos, ceramics, vases or a plant to add personality and warmth to your bedroom. A mirror above the dresser helps anchor the space while enhancing both light and functionality. If you have more floor space, expand your bed frame with a storage bench.
Our pick: The Amara Queen upholstered gas list storage bed frame
At first glance, the Amara looks like a plush, sophisticated bed, but real magic lies beneath your mattress. The Amara features a gas-lift mechanism that reveals generous hidden storage, ideal for small spaces.
Style your sanctuary
Add a few personal embellishments now that you’ve assembled all the essentials.
Once you’ve got the mattress, pillows and bedding sorted, it’s time to express your personality in the bedroom.
Avoid designing a bedroom based on what’s trending, says Andy Boyle, Harvey Norman’s National Visual Merchandiser and Bed Linen Product Manager. “Your bedroom should reflect your personality and how you live. Identify the colours, textures, and aesthetics you love and build your space around those elements. I personally love a room that incorporates a mixture of new, collected and inherited pieces. This shows me who this person is and what they love.”
Andy suggests starting with a coverlet or comforter to anchor the look. “From there, add a plump duvet – this creates that full, hotel-like feel that reads as premium. The finishing touches are a textured throw and cushions that complement your style.”
Harvey Norman’s wide range of accessories creates a variety of possible looks. For an instant luxe touch and seasonal refresh, the Savona Walter throw is a sleek winner. Or for something cosy, the Shetland cushion is a snuggly faux fur.
Andy believes that the best way to achieve a luxurious bedroom is through simplicity. “Incorporate a mix of materials – such as soft knits, crisp cottons and subtle weaves to create depth and interest. Texture adds richness without the need for statement items. Small details can make a big impact. Swapping out cushions can refresh the look of your room.”
“A signature scent can ground you before you sleep. Whether it’s a beautiful candle, a reed diffuser, or a room spray, these additions can make a big impact.” Every one of Harvey Norman’s candle ranges, like Moss St and New Zealand’s own Lyttelton Lights, looks as beautiful as they smell.
The best bedrooms are designed as much for sleeping as living beautifully.
