The Finishing Touches: Elevate Your Bedroom with Wink Accessories

Your bedhead can be thought of as the anchor of your bedroom’s aesthetic, but extra magic can be found in the details. At Wink, we believe that the right accessories help turn a room into one that feels complete, and uniquely yours. Let’s explore how our valances, cushions, and lampshades bring character and cohesion (and soon our footstools too!).

Valances: The Understated Hero

Valances may seem subtle at first glance, but they play a powerful role in refining your bed’s look. Here’s what makes them special:

• Fabric coordination: Either made in the same fabrics as your bedhead or in complementary tones, they allow you to unify your colour story across the bed, and bedroom.

• Frame & finish: Our valances neatly cover your mattress base, providing a lovely visual transition to your mattress or bedding.

• Tailor made: A perfectly fitting custom made valance ensures your bed setting looks luxe. 

• Mindful design: Made with durable, high-quality fabrics and fully lined in unbleached cotton, Wink valances are crafted to last – reducing the need for frequent replacements and supporting a more sustainable approach to home design.

Cushions: Texture, Depth & Personality

Throw cushions are one of the easiest (and most fun) ways to layer character into your bedroom. Here’s how we think about them at Wink:

• Mix fabrics & textures: Layering different textures gives visual depth to your bedding, whether you go for linen, velvet, wool, boucle or woven blends – there’s masses of choice! 

• Play with shapes & sizes: Try a mix of squares, rectangles, or bolsters to vary the silhouette.

• Accent colour moments: Use cushions to introduce pops of colour or tie in hues from curtains, rugs, or artwork.

• Add piping or fringing: For a bit of added design style.

• Sustainable choice: All our cushions are designed with removable covers, so you can refresh your look without replacing the entire cushion. 

• Cushion inners: Your Wink cushions deserve the best inners! Our high quality inners have more feathers than many other brands so will keep looking fabulously plump for longer. And we use feather inners that are made with 100% New Zealand duck feathers that have been ethically sourced.

Lampshades: Strong Style Cohesion

Picking up on the cues from your bedhead and other furnishings in your room, and translating that into your lampshades is a real style statement. Here’s why selecting the right lampshade is a great idea:

• Setting the scene: The material and shape adds a lovely mood enhancer.

• Fabric finishes: Choose plain, textured, or patterned fabrics to suit your palette.

• Shape & scale: The lampshade’s form should harmonise with your base and the size of your space.

• Made to last: Like all Wink accessories, our lampshades are handcrafted with quality materials – designed for timeless style and enduring function rather than fast décor. And of course being Wink, we have done away with using the usual imported plastic liners, and have instead gone back to the old school ways and are using card. 

Coming Soon: Footstools

We’re excited to announce that footstools are arriving soon at Wink.

Why footstools?

• They’re beautiful – upholstered in the same, or complementary fabrics, as your bedhead, they’ll complete your look.

• They’re functional – for putting on shoes, resting a tray, or styling at the end of the bed.

• They’re mindful – built to order, using durable fabrics, so they’ll be with you for years to come.

A More Sustainable Way to Style

At Wink, we’re proud to design accessories that don’t just look beautiful, but are made with care for longevity. By choosing durable fabrics, removable covers, and made-to-order production amongst other initiatives, we help you create a timeless bedroom that feels fresh year after year - without the cycle of fast décor waste.

Sustainable living doesn’t mean sacrificing style; it means choosing pieces that last, adapt, and evolve with you – and we’re always on board to help you with that!
