Christmas decorating has inched into every area of our homes if the popularity of Christmas bedding is anything to go by. And if you love these festive sets, then Next is easily one of the best places to shop – their whimsical designs are wonderful for getting you into the Christmas spirit.
If I’m honest, I’ve never really bought too much into festive bedding as a Christmas trend. After all, you’ll realistically only use your festive set over one month of the year. However, this year’s best Christmas bedding sets have won me over.
From tufted mice to the Nativity donkey, Next’s farmyard array of animal-themed festive bedding is full of whimsy and Christmas magic. Here are my top picks.
I first became aware of Next’s animal-inspired bedding with the drop of their robin fleece bedding last year. Beautifully festive, showcasing a snowy garden scene, I was won over by this cutesy design. This year we’ve seen a continuation of this style, not only via a sateen robin duvet set, but with other critters, too, such as mice and even penguins.
My top pick is without a doubt the White Woodland Christmas Mouse Tufted Bed Set (from £45), which is even cuter than the robins. It features adorable tufted mice, wearing little scarves, carrying sprigs of holly across the duvet and pillow covers. Topped with a green border and striped underside, the set looks as high-quality as it does whimsical.
‘Bought this ready for Christmas – it’s really beautiful, and the pillowcases are fabulous with the edging and the mouse. Glad I bought it early,’ said one reviewer.
‘Gorgeous Christmas bedding, white, good quality fabric with cute little mice decoration, Love it and can highly recommend,’ said another.

As much as I enjoy sophisticated and stylish Christmas bedding, I also think it is the perfect opportunity to have some fun. If you want whimiscal, you can’t go wrong with these designs.
As someone with a small home, I know all too well that when it comes to choosing furniture, every inch of floor space counts. And never is that more apparent than at Christmas, when, with extra guests visiting (and potentially staying overnight), my house has to work extra hard to accommodate everyone.
That’s why I was so thrilled to come across the newly launched DUSK Kennadi Single Ottoman Sofa Bed. I think this compact bed-in-a-box gives the best sofa beds a run for their money, and its small footprint means it’s definitely top of my wishlist for Christmas hosting this winter season.
DUSK
Kennadi Single Ottoman Sofa Bed
As Ideal Home’s Sleep Editor, I’ve spent the past five years testing some of the best small space sofa beds and sofa bed alternatives on the market, and I’ve already raved about how ingenious a bed-in-a-box can be for a small home.

However, similar to the best chair beds, it can be easier said than done to find a good bed-in-a-box, as not many retailers make this ingenious piece of multifunctional furniture, and especially not at a price that doesn’t break the bank.
I’m a huge fan of Loaf’s super-stylish bed-in-a-box, which is hidden inside a smart buttoned Chesterfield ottoman, but with Loaf’s prices starting from £995, it’s a definite investment. That’s why I was overjoyed to see that at just £399 for the single bed option, DUSK‘s ottoman bed-in-a-box is nearly half the price.

In fact, the DUSK Kennadi Ottoman Sofa Bed collection comes in two sizes: the £399 single bed option that’s available in three colourways – autumnal muted gold, pine green, and natural beige – and a slightly larger small double in pine green and natural, which costs £449.
In my opinion, both options will only suit one adult sleeper (the DUSK ottoman’s small double mattress measures 113cm wide, which is a little smaller than a standard small double mattress at 120cm, and a lot smaller than a standard double mattress at 135cm wide). But choosing the small double gives your guest a little more wiggle room at night.

And that’s especially important with Christmas coming up and more overnight guests on the horizon.

The other thing I love about this new launch is how versatile an ottoman can be. A chair bed is great, but I think an ottoman can be tucked away even more discreetly in a small home. When it’s not employed as a bed, you can use it as a coffee table or footrest in front of a sofa, or pop it into a bay window to act as a loveseat or extra surface.
I’ve rounded up a few more ottoman sofa bed options below, but I definitely think DUSK’s Kennadi ottoman is a great addition to the current overnight hosting solutions on the market – and with pre-orders available now, and dispatch currently estimated for mid-November, that’s plenty of time for this spare bed to arrive before my Christmas guests do!
This single bed-in-a-box is even more compact than DUSK's option, so an even more space-saving option for a small home.","brand":"Jay-Be","name":"Fabric Footstool Chair Bed","urlStyle":"","retailer":"","layout":"hero","linkText":"","noFollow":true,"noAffiliateTracking":false,"promoLabel":"","price":439,"salePrice":null,"currency":"GBP","linkLayout":"text","sponsored":false,"hawkProductNameMatchedCode":"","review":{"cons":[],"id":"","name":"","pros":[],"rating":0,"strapline":"","url":""},"id":"","externalId":"b3ca97053efa74469a932602308ee47eb07d7298","lastCheckedPriceDate":"","link":{"url":"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-100624752-15618761?sid=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https:\/\/www.argos.co.uk\/product\/3416213","merchantName":"Argos","merchantId":535,"merchantNetwork":"CJ","merchantUrl":"argos.co.uk"}}}}}” data-link=”https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-100624752-15618761?sid=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3416213″ data-link-merchant=”Argos” data-merchant-id=”535″ data-merchant-name=”Argos” data-merchant-network=”CJ” data-merchant-url=”argos.co.uk” data-model-brand=”Jay-Be” data-model-name=”Jay-Be Fabric Footstool Chair Bed” data-name=”Product Block merchantlink widget” data-render-type=”fte” data-show-fallback=”button” data-widget-type=”merchantlink” class=”ecom-root”>

During winter, drying your laundry can feel like an uphill battle, sometimes taking days at a time, only to be greeted with a damp, musty smell upon completion. Because of this, it can be tempting to dry clothes on your radiator, but heating experts are warning this method will actually make your radiator less efficient and drive energy bills up.
Heating experts want you to stop using your radiator as if it is one of the best heated airers. Here’s the negative impact this small action can have on your energy bills.

Can you dry clothes on a radiator?
If you already have your heating on, drying a jumper or pair of jeans may seem like a simple way to dry washing in winter. You might say it’s killing two birds with one stone. However, your wet clothes can block the heat emitted from your radiator, making it less efficient and driving up your energy bills.

‘This restricts heat circulation, which means rooms take longer to heat up, driving up bills. The moisture released from the clothes also needs somewhere to go. Without ventilation, it’s trapped inside the room and settles on cold surfaces such as windows or walls as condensation,’ explains Meaco‘s co-founder, Chris Michael.
‘As it gets colder and more and more washing is dried this way, the increasingly damp indoor conditions can lead to mould growth. Early signs that there is too much moisture include musty smells and loads taking longer to dry.
Over time, this habitat can increase your energy bills as your boiler works harder to heat your home.

‘When wet clothes are draped over a radiator, they prevent heat from circulating properly around the room, meaning your boiler has to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Over time, this can increase your energy bills, particularly if you’re regularly using your central heating to dry laundry,’ says John Klee, content executive and heating technology expert at BestHeating.
‘The exact cost will depend on your heating system and how often you do this, but it’s an unnecessary expense that can quickly add up. There’s also the issue of excess moisture, as drying wet laundry indoors releases water into the air, increasing the risk of condensation, dampness and mould, particularly during winter when windows tend to stay closed.’
How to dry clothes in winter
If you don’t have a tumble dryer, or are trying to avoid the high cost of using one, a heated airer is your best bet. While your clothes will still release moisture into the air, you won’t be reliant on your central heating to dry your clothes. If you are concerned about excess moisture, one of the best dehumidifiers can help dry laundry fast and absorb excess moisture.

‘A heated airer can be a better choice than covering radiators with washing, as it keeps them free to heat the room and can be used when the central heating is off. However, it still releases moisture into your home, so you need ventilation or a dehumidifier to manage this. It isn’t automatically cheaper either, as the total cost depends on its power consumption and how long the clothes take to dry,’ says Chris.
If you have a non-heated airer, you don’t have to throw it out. I recently invested in the Minky Sure Dri Heat Pod Pro with 3 Tier Airer Cover (£60, Argos), which uses an electric heater and cover to turn my three-tier airer into a heated one. Now a full load of washing is dried in a matter of hours, rather than days.

Let’s face it, kitchen storage ideas rarely incites fun, creative ideas, but it’s nonetheless an essential part of a space. Well, that was until Mustard Made entered the kitchen storage scene.
This colourful storage brand was founded by sisters Becca & Jess, who realised that their favourite vintage lockers (that were flaky and battered) deserved a fun, trendy refresh. It’s a way of breathing new life into your kitchen while also fulfilling a practical need for storage, whether it’s for tableware, as a makeshift pantry, or for children’s toys.

While built-in storage makes up the majority of a kitchen, as our lives evolve and household needs change, adding freestanding storage is a great solution.
Whether you need a low cabinet to complete a dining space or a large pantry-style cupboard to add essential storage to your cooking area, Mustard Made lockers will fit into any nook and cranny that you have spare.
Rebecca Knight, Ideal Home’s Editor, invested in her own in the sale last year and got the whole team hooked.
‘I invested in The Collector last year for my kitchen. I wanted a faux pantry where I could store food, water bottles, and tablecloths that wasn’t a huge hulking mass in my kitchen,’ she says.

The beauty of The Collector is that it offers handy storage while also adding to the aesthetics of a room.
‘The panels on all sides allow light to pass through to keep the space bright, while the fluting disguises the contents inside. It fits so much in, I even had space for my massive pans on the bottom. Everyone compliments it when they visit my flat,’ Rebecca adds.
With a rainbow array of colours to choose from, there is guaranteed to be a style to suit any kitchen colour scheme. While you could opt for a monochromatic look, adding in an unexpected twist with a contrasting shade is a fun way to breathe new life into your cooking space.
This 25% off everything sale is the biggest discount that Mustard Made do all year long, and it’s only active until the 11th November. Now is the time to invest to get your kitchen storage sorted before Christmas.

When you think about Christmas, how many of your favourite memories are attached to scent? Well, that’s exactly what Tom Daley has had me thinking about after he revealed in an interview with Ideal Home that his go-to festive scent was inspired by memories of past Christmases.
Tom Daley has recently joined scent brand Airwick as an ambassador and, with this, has unveiled five new autumn and winter fragrances. If you’re looking for the best scents to welcome in the festive season, Air Wick’s new range is proving to be both affordable and beautifully scented.
Recently, I sat down with Tom to discuss his recent Air Wick collaboration as well as his family traditions surrounding Christmas and autumn. He revealed that the new Warm Mulled Wine scent (£10, Amazon) is his new go-to for Christmas.

You can’t beat the festive scent of mulled wine? So why not add this sweet yet spiced fragrance into your home to mark the start of Christmas?
As someone who’s gone to the effort to scentscape her home (my go-to is the White Company’s Santorini scent), I’m always one to beat the drum of filling your home with fragrances that remind you of happier times. For me, my Santorini scent reminds me of a previous holiday, while Tom’s choice of Air Wick’s Warm Mulled Wine goes back to his Christmas memories.
‘I always think the first thing that you notice when you walk into someone’s home is how it smells,’ Tom told me.
‘I know it’s a little bit early for the Warm Mulled Wine, but that one is my favourite, and it always will be because Christmas is like my all-time favourite season. Although my boys love the Pumpkin Ginger Chai one because they love Halloween.’

As Tom mentioned, Pumpkin Ginger Chai is one of the four new scents in his Air Wick Collaboration. The other three are Warm Mulled Wine, Cosy Rose Tea and Velvet Vanilla Latte. While he says each serves a purpose in his home (for example, Cosy Rose Tea is used to scent his office), Warm Mulled Wine has become one of his Christmas decorating ideas in its own right.

‘It’s because it takes me back to my childhood, and I have so many amazing memories around Christmas. Whenever I get transported to anything Christmassy, it makes me so excited and gets me right into that feeling of being excited about Christmas,’ Tom said of the Warm Mulled Wine scent.
‘I know this year is going to be super exciting when it comes to Christmas because Robbie’s [Tom’s son] eight, so I feel like this is like on the tail end of all things exciting for Christmas, but for Phoenix [Tom’s son] he’s three and a half, so it’s going to be the exciting side of Christmas for him. I also want to make sure that we make the most of all of it.’
