In the bedroom
Bedrooms should be cool, calm and collected – but with a twist that’s entirely your own. Not sure where to start? Follow our steps for a bedroom scheme you’ll love.
It’s the room we spend most of our time in, and it should feel tranquil, peaceful and private. Bedrooms are hugely important in terms of styling, and when it comes to bringing different trends into your room, it pays to start with the big items. Your bed should always be the focal point of the room design. Pay attention to the materials of your bedhead and surrounding furniture, and select soft furnishings to complement the colour and texture of the hard items. Pick two or three coordinating colours, or different shades of one colour, to mix and match.
Creating a mood board with your favourite colours, materials and patterns can be a great way to kickstart your makeover – remember soft colours will inspire calm, and brights will bring energy. Black-out curtains are also a must-have for the perfect bedroom and a great night’s sleep. As a final step, inject your own personality into the design with wall art and trinkets – find a statement print for over the bed, and finish off the whole room with special little items such as candles for ambience (or romance), plants for homeliness and lamps for reading.
COOL CALM & ECLECTIC
Green has never been more on-trend – create a cosy sanctuary with calming greens and natural tones. Soothing pastel and white linens are anchored by a lush grey headboard and matching throw pillows. The look takes on a stylish and glamorous edge with the detailing of the Bogata bedroom set. Keep the theme going with your bedside table – a matching diuser and candle set will keep your room wonderfully scented, and a striking angular lamp provides another focal point for the eye. Indoor plants, of course, are essential for your nature-inspired haven! Dot them around the room – go for artificial foliage for easy maintenance. Tie everything together with a print that showcases one of your signature colours for a cool and coordinated paradise.
