DRESS UP YOUR BED

From £65

Bolster cushions are making a comeback. You can pick up bolster cushion pads from £6 at dunelm. com. Then make a cover yourself using a luxe material such as Midnight Garden Velvet Fabric (£120 per metre from libertylondon.com). If sewing machines bring you out in hives, try Loaf’s oversized Sherbet Bolster, above, £65 in Brittany Blue or Red French Stripe, from loaf.com.

From £79

Don’t want the hassle of a headboard but still want to jazz up the blank space above your bed? Try a statement macrame or yarn wall hanging – there are tutorials online if you fancy making your own. Or cheat with this canvas jungle print from Dutch brand HK Living, available at abodeliving.co.uk for £79.

From £550

For an alternative headboard that will give your bedroom an industrial vibe, repurpose a vintage leather gym mat – but be warned, they don’t come cheap. Prices tend to start at about £550 on eBay. Or check out a gorgeously worn 1930s Czech one – £950 from retroliving. co.uk. Use brackets to attach a wooden pole to the wall and thread the handles through.
