The main bedroom

-

Selecting a feature wallpaper was Alice’s first design task for their bedroom and she settled on a lush, close-up floral from the Masterpiec­e collection by Eijffinger. “Once I had that, everything else fell into place,” she says.

She loved how its traditiona­l vibe had been combined with on-trend colours and a modern texture. But did she need to convince Caleb?

“Ha! The reason we work well together is because we know what’s really important to the other person. For me, it’s design elements and colour. For Caleb, it’s open-plan living, the deck, getting the outdoors to work. That’s how I got my floral wallpaper!” Alice laughs.

The couple hung the wallpaper themselves and swear it is easy (they’ve got a step-bystep guide on their website). The wallpaper, combined with blush full-length curtains, floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobe doors and beautiful linen and lighting, has given the room a modern, romantic look that Alice loves. “Our bedroom feels like a haven – not that I can keep my kids out of it, but it still feels like my space!”
