Tamara Heber-Percy, co-founder of boutique hotel travel company Mr and Mrs Smith shares her formula for a peaceful slumber
Lighting is key
This can make or break a room. Lights need to be dimmable, and you should be able to turn all of them off with one quick flick of a bedside switch.
Heaven scent
Amangiri smells incredible. Those aromas completely change transform the setting and, of course, help you to relax. At home, I burn a ‘White Wood’ candle from Clement & Claude, made from soy wax. It smells heavenly, £14 at Clement & Claude
The bed
Create a bed as wonderful as a hotel bed. It will, naturally, have freshly ironed sheets. Thread count isn’t always everything – often a quality-made 400-count sheet can be better than one that’s often 700. In fact, if you go too high, the sheets will become stiff. There should be a hard and soft pillow to choose between, and a soft-to-the-skin throw to snuggle under.
