The scheme that’s inspired us this month
One of the simplest and most effective ways to bring boutique-hotel style to your bedroom is to use a monochromatic colour palette. This classic look is never endingly chic, and always eye-catching. The focal point of this luxury bedroom scheme is the oversized, deep buttoned headboard covered in an understated grey fabric. With its generous height, there is plenty of room to carefully arrange a collection of pillows and cushions all covered in sumptuous fabrics that carefully tone with the scheme.
Whether it’s a master suite or a compact guest room, any sophisticated bedroom scheme must include crisp white bedlinen – preferably in a high thread count for ultimate comfort. Here, an elegant throw in a subtle plum shade adds more texture and is a further variation on the colour scheme, which helps to build up a harmonious look. Simple side tables display one or two personal items, which add warmth and individuality without allowing the look to get cluttered. A small posy of flowers and a classic white orchid bring a natural element.
Plain white walls are a natural choice for this type of scheme and create the perfect backdrop for the black-and-white-framed prints, while the white voile curtains paired with heavy plain drapes provide a clever window treatment, that’s both stylish and sleek.
