When decorating a bedroom, start with a neutral base, which instantly establishes a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Then, layer on textures and bring in a hint of colour in the accessories. All furnishings from SHF.

Not sure what colour scheme to opt for? Black and white is the answer. It’s timeless, suits both men and women and gives you the opportunity to include a bold mix of patterns. Decor by Jenna Penny Interiors.

SITTING PRETTY

Include a stool or ottoman at the end of a bed to give it a finished look and provide a surface for extra quilts and throws. If there’s space, add a small armchair to create a cosy sitting area.
