7. Bali Wooden Bed Frame, from £199, Carpetright
As the focal point of the room, a new headboard or bedstead can be a gamechanger – and as Damian Topping, head of beds buying at Carpetright, points out, updating the frame allows you to effortlessly rejuvenate a space and instantly set the tone of the room.
“Understated wooden frames give a light, natural feel,” says Damian. “Consider a neutral painted style if you’re looking for a harmonious space that allows other elements, such as bedding and accessories, to make a statement and can be changed to suit the season and your mood.
“Hanging a lightweight canopy above the bed creates a cosy sanctuary, while adding elegance that won’t overwhelm the space. Ideal for those looking for staycation-style decor, this is perfectly suited to a laid-back coastal scheme. Particularly when combined with paredback flooring in muted colours and simple accessories that give a nod to the seaside.”
Amazon have a mosquito net bed canopy that looks the part, and a new bed could even improve your sleep, too. Damian says to look for a design and mattress that balances practicality and indulgence – functionality and style is important, but comfort is king here.
Some say the brighter the better, and with a generous coating of glitz, this timeless sunburst mirror, paired with a plush palm leaf deco, is bound to bring a ray of sunshine to your space.
