t’s the room we spend most of our time in, and

it should feel tranquil, peaceful and private.

Bedrooms are hugely important in terms of

styling, and when it comes to bringing

different trends into your room, it pays to start

with the big items. Your bed should always be

the focal point of the room design. Pay attention

to the materials of your bedhead and surrounding

furniture, and select soft furnishings to

complement the colour and texture of the hard

items. Pick two or three coordinating colours, or

different shades of one colour, to mix and match.

entirely your own. Not sure where to start? Follow our steps for a bedroom

scheme you’ll love.

Creating a mood board with your favourite

colours, materials and patterns can be a great

way to kickstart your makeover – remember

soft colours will inspire calm, and brights will

bring energy. Black-out curtains are also a

must-have for the perfect bedroom and a great

night’s sleep. As a fi nal step, inject your own

personality into the design with wall art and

trinkets – fi nd a statement print for over the bed,

and fi nish off the whole room with special little

items such as candles for ambience (or romance),

plants for homeliness and lamps for reading.
