Gifts for the bedroom

A cordless, rechargeable mushroom lamp that dims with a tap, so soft light can move from the nightstand to the bath.

A smart candle-shaped bulb for sconces and chandeliers that gives a soft flicker and warm color without an open flame.

Flameless wax pillars with a realistic moving flame and a remote timer, so the room is already glowing when you walk in.

An ornate gold wall sconce with a mirrored back that doubles every flame. Use flameless tapers if it hangs near fabric.

A quiet ceramic diffuser with a faint glow that fills the room with scent before anyone walks in, with no flame to watch.

A clean, fresh floral for couples who want the room to smell like a good hotel.

Three little rose candles to scatter around the bed, so the light comes from everywhere at once. A sweet gift, too.

Jasmine and tuberose, the flowers that open at night, for a bedroom that smells like a warm garden after dark.

A very soft knit throw for the end of the bed, warm enough for lounging together and easy to wash.

A mulberry silk pillowcase that feels smooth against the face and makes the whole bed feel like a hotel bed.

Wine red velvet pillow covers with hidden zippers, the simplest way to bring a rich, moody color onto the bed.

Something soft to put on after the bath, or when the evening is slow and nobody's getting dressed again.

Paper screens, low light and wood. The homes Japandi borrows from, shown as they really are.

A history of lamps and light fixtures, handy for finding the bedside or ceiling light that sets the right mood.

European hotels to page through as a couple, part trip planner and part bedroom inspiration.

Stone walls, linen and terracotta: the warm, sunlit kind of bedroom that never feels fussy or overdone.
