Plants & Pyjamas - Create Your Ultimate Sleep Sanctuary
A good night’s sleep isn’t just the result of drifting off. It’s shaped by the space around you, the air you breathe, the comfort you feel, and the small rituals that signal to your mind and body that the day is done. When your bedroom looks inviting and feels comfortable, it encourages you to slow down and sleep becomes not just easier - but more restorative too.
Co-Founder of The Little Botanical, Morag Hill is passionate about how plants can truly benefit the home – both aesthetically and for our health and wellbeing. Here Morag shares her tips on the air-purifying plants that are perfect for the bedroom. Combined with the luxury and comfort of Their Nibs pyjamas, these plants can help turn your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary that nourishes your senses, supports rest, and elevates your nightly routine.
A calming night starts with nature
When you step into your bedroom, the very first thing that influences your mood is how the space feels. Natural elements, especially plants, have a unique way of softening a room, bringing warmth, texture, and a sense of serenity.
Our Air Purifying Collection offers a curated range of houseplants that are perfect for creating a restful bedroom oasis. Not only do they look beautiful, they work hard to purify the air and remove toxins, creating a sanctuary that not only encourages deeper and more restful sleep, but also benefits your overall health.
The sculptural Sansevieria, glossy Zamioculcas, or soft, trailing varieties like Devil’s Ivy or Satin Pothos are wonderful options for cleaning the air and work perfectly in areas designated for sleeping. Their rich green tones and gentle curves create visual calm, helping the room feel more grounded and beautiful.
For smaller, more intimate spaces, our Fittonia is a perfect bedside companion. With its delicate veined leaves and compact size, this little botanical beauty adds a subtle pop of colour and texture without overwhelming the senses. Fittonia thrives in lower light and enjoys the gentle humidity of a bedroom environment, making it an ideal choice for nightstands or shelves where you want a calming, decorative touch that still feels alive and nurturing.
Creating height without clutter
If you’re looking to introduce greenery that feels calm yet design-led, a Scindapsus grown on a moss pole is a stunning option. Trained vertically, its soft, heart-shaped leaves create height and interest without cluttering the room. Positioned near a window or in an unused corner, a Scindapsus moss pole adds a sense of slow, natural growth and connection to nature - a visual reminder to unwind and breathe deeply at the end of the day.
Another simple way to add height without cluttering the space is by using an oak plant stand from The Little Botanical. Elevating your plants draws the eye upwards, creates visual interest, and allows greenery to make more of an impact. The natural warmth of the wood pairs effortlessly with bedroom interiors, keeping the look calm, cohesive, and considered.
From a tall Areca Palm in a corner to a trailing Peperomia Rotundifolia on a shelf or a Mini Air Purifying Bundle or Fittonia on the bedside table. Plants - large or small - can work to quietly enhance the room’s atmosphere without overwhelming the senses. These touches bring nature indoors, creating a sense of harmony that naturally prepares you for rest.
A bedtime ritual worth investing in
Creating a restful bedroom doesn’t require a complete redesign. By choosing thoughtfully placed, quality houseplants from The Little Botanical, you can transform your evenings into a calming ritual that nurtures both body and mind. Paired with the indulgent comfort of slipping into your favourite Their Nibs pyjamas, bedtime becomes something to truly look forward to – a moment of calm at the end of every day.
