Be inspired by these gorgeous rooms and
create a stylish haven to call your own
D
ecorating your bedroom is a bit like putting
together a great outfit. Determine the look you’re
after, assemble the key pieces, decide on a base
colour, then layer up and add all the wonderful details!
1. Explore the possibility of
a panelled wall - painted soft
white - behind your bed. It gives
a bland room increased textural
interest and much-needed
oomph without detracting from
its star attraction, the bed.
Precise cutting and fixing of the
timber is required, so it’s worth
the extra expense of having a
carpenter or builder install it.
2. A sumptuous bedspread
made in silk and velvet is your
ultimate bedding accessory.
Queen quilted coverlet in
Cream, $295, Starnam.
3-5. Zigzag your way to
sleep deep under this printed
quilt cover and accessorise
with coordinating cushions.
Inka embroidery cushion in
Indigo, $49.95; knitted cushion
in Honey, $59.95; reversible
queen quilt cover in Fig, $ 179;
pillowcases, standard $49.95/
pair and European $39.95,
Aura by Tracie Ellis.
6.
For a sleeping space
that oozes opulence, choose
a statement bed. Four-poster
queen bed, $1299, Freedom.
7. Cocoon yourself in the serene
ambience of a romantic bedroom
inspired by exquisite French lace.
There are many excellent ideas
here, from the stencilled-lace wall
panel with fixed hooks for jewellery,
to the lace-covered headboard. As
for the second-hand dressing table,
refurbished with white paint, the key
is to look for a graceful curvilinear
piece with cabriole legs. ►
