Ways to make your sleeping sanctuary more beautiful
1 DISPLAY GREENERY ON THE WALL
Freshen up your bedroom for spring with a pretty arrangement of houseplants hung vertically in a row. Make your own wall hanging using an old wooden shelf, adding a hook for each planter.
2 FILL A GAP WITH MINI SHELVES
Make use of wasted space at the end of a run of wardrobes by adding a stack of shelves. Choose narrow shelves so they won’t be in the way when you open the doors.
3 SLOT IN A DRESSING TABLE
Put an alcove to good use by installing a floating drawer to act as a dressing table. Add a wall mirror and shelf to give a little extra storage and display space.
4 TRY A FREESTANDING MIRROR
Bring some glamour to your boudoir with a luxe statement piece. This deco-style mirror in smart navy and gold comes with a handy drawer to stash accessories.

7 SWAP YOUR HEADBOARD
Give a divan a new lease of life by ditching a drab headboard and replacing it with something more eyecatching. This on-trend rattan design attaches to the wall.
5 KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN
Go for an open wardrobe so you can find favourite outfits easily. A clothes rail also makes a great overspill if you have a large hoard of clothes or like to organise them seasonally, plus it’s handy for guest bedrooms, too.
6 DOUBLE UP WITH A RUG
Warm up chilly floors by putting down a plush rug. Try one large rug with the bed positioned centrally or choose a couple of small rugs or runners placed either side of the bed.
