Bedroom trends and tips...
Modern Retro - Mix retro style furniture (whether this is original or reproduction) with retro inspired colours and prints. Accent this with modern accessories to create your stylish boudoir.

Natural Bedroom - Earthy, natural tones encourage a relaxed environment, which is key to a great night’s sleep. Intricate accessories add a feminine touch, in contrast to the earthy colours. Using toile wallpaper on a feature wall gives focus to the room and a classical feel.
Modern Bedroom - Give your bedroom a designer edge with black-on-black wallpaper, velvet upholstery and a symmetrical layout. Team with modern/bold/vibrant/eye catching accessories, which compliment your room.
Hotel Style – Position bed centrally in the room with a statement headboard or wallpaper behind the bed. It’s important to keep the room symmetrical. Place bedside cabinets either side of the bed to achieve this look. Plump pillows, throws and good quality bed linen enhance the hotel style, whilst low lighting and dimers will create a romantic atmosphere.
Glamorous Pink Bedroom - Satin sheets, feminine shades and elegant features create a simply stunning bedroom. Displaying a loved dress adds a personal touch of glamour to this room.
Dramatic Bedroom - For a dramatic, sumptuous look, heavy velvet cushions and bed linen in a mix of rich tones contrasting with crisp white walls and delicate paper lights creates a very personal, eye-catching look.
Elegance - Mix beautiful fabrics, textures and colours to create
a bedroom personal to you. Soft colours create a relaxing atmosphere. Adding an attractive lamp or chandelier brings a sense of grandeur to the room.
Calm Bedroom - Keep tones soft and pleasing. Use splashes of colour to add personality to the room but keep this minimal to encourage a relaxed atmosphere. Storage is important as you do not want to clutter this calming environment.
The Lodge style - Using organic natural materials, such as exposed brick, wood, lamb’s wool, fleecy textures. Using layers and rich tones creates a warm cosy feel.
Ethnic Style - Bright bold and cheerful colours, sparkle, intricate detailing and sumptuous textures. Patterned wallpaper, bright scatter cushions and throws make this exotic trend
Relaxed Country Cottage - Soft stone painted walls, cosy bed with beautiful linen bedspread, slightly miss-matched, distressed wooden furniture, combined with antique touches creates a gorgeous country cottage scene.
Patchwork - A beautiful patchwork quilt and a bespoke shutter headboard, create a homely, vintage, country cottage look. Adding a large trunk at the end of the bed is the perfect way to add extra storage and emphasises the vintage style.
Do It Yourself - Collecting odd bits of fabric and turning them into beautiful one-of-a-kind cushions is the ultimate recycling. You can also use old clothes to make blankets, cushions, throws, rugs etc. The fabric can also be used to re-cover headboards, chairs or used to create wall panels to add colour to your room.
Luxury - It is important to keep a sense of peace and calm in your bedroom, creating the feeling of space. Keep details minimal, opting for a few select pieces. Using light tones for the walls and bedding, will help make the room feel bright and airy. Using texture will make sure the room still feels inviting and cosy - this can be done using throws, blankets, cushions, shells and natural materials.
Vintage Chic - Mix the old and the new to create your own personalised vintage style. Using bright floral prints for your curtains or bedding and combine with a vintage style metal bed frame. Again it's important not to clutter but the occasional coloured glass vase of flowers, vintage print or linen box finishes off the look beautifully.
