Bedside lamp
Mood lighting, mood lighting, mood lighting — need we say more? Dim the lights and get yourself into nighttime mode with a good bedside lamp. The wall-mounting means more space for books on the nighttable, and there’s an extra LED light just for reading.
Union Lighting, $210
Envi Eco-Performance Rainshower
Start your day with a relaxing rainshower. This showerhead lets you control your water pressure, from a gentle drizzle to a massaging powerflow and promises to reduce water usage without compromising your shower experience. Moen, $206
Aerolatte frother
Nothing like a cuppa warm milk before bed. Jazz yours up with a little froth on top to give it that café feel. The frother works right inside the mug so you don’t need any fancy equipment. Great for hot cocoa too.
Crate and Barrel, $25
Relax Alarm Clock
Download a more ambient alarm for your iPhone or iPod and start waking up gently to acoustic guitar, wind in the trees or birds in the city. Fall asleep to sounds of meditative chimes or rainfall in the park. iTunes, $5
