- LOVELY LEOPARD
Bedlinen Statement bedlinen like
this design from Adairs can be a great
starting point for a bedroom with serious
personality. The leopard-print duvet set
is the most expensive thing in the room
but creates a real impact. If you fall in love
with a striking, yet pricey, duvet pattern,
splash out on this element and then look
for some inexpensive decor items to team
it with.
Painted headboard If you have been
craving a headboard but the funds won’t
stretch, simply paint one like we did.
A 500ml pot of paint will set you back
about $35 and your faux headboard can be
masked off and painted in an afternoon.Furniture These black butler’s tray tables
are an inexpensive bedside table option
and a pair will only cost you around $120.
Decide what you need handy at your bedside
and choose a table or cabinet to suit. An
occasional chair isn’t essential but can be
super-useful for putting on shoes, draping
clothes or sitting and reading.Accessories With punchy bedlinen, you can
keep the accessories simple. We selected a
faux hanging plant,a small vase and a candle,
and added a faux sheepskin to the bed – at
just $20, you could even have two. Pillows and
cushions were chosen in tonal colours to work
in with those in the patterned duvet. Pick a
feature cushion and mix with some plainer or
textured ones for a cosy, inviting look.1 23 4 5
