The STYLE RULES

MIX METALLICS AND NEUTRALS

Nothing says luxury like opulent shades of champagne, silver and gold. Combine with pared-back neutrals, including taupe and fawn, for a grown-up bedroom retreat.

CREATE A SPECIAL SANCTUARY

Behind the bed, pick a metallic wallpaper that shimmers when it catches the light. Choose a dark taupe or mocha shade for the remaining walls for a cosseting feel.

ADD A LITTLE LUXURY

Feel like you’ve checked into a boutique hotel by choosing an upholstered headboard. Layer the bed with multiple cushions and quilted bedspreads in tactile fabrics like velvet and satin.

REFLECT LIGHT

A brilliant white ceiling and high-pile light-coloured carpet makes the room feel bigger. Finish the look with an iridescent silver rug.
