Freshen up your bedroom with these clever bedroom ideas.
PURE INDULGENCE
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.
GETTING AHEAD
As this bedroom has generous proportions, Tabbert Interior Consultants designed an over-scaled timber headboard to give the bed more presence.
ON THE SIDE
Think beyond the conventional bedside pedestal. Trunks, storage boxes and even stylish chairs can serve as interesting bedside tables. Design by Studio Dylan Thomaz.
BACK TO BASICS
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.
JUNGLE FEVER
Nothing transforms a bedroom like a bold wallpaper. At Blos Café and Guesthouse, Pretoria, this tropical design from Hertex is complemented by cushions from Vintage Vista.
MIRROR, MIRROR
Mirror is a sensational decorating tool. By cladding the wall behind the bed, Studio Dylan Thomaz added instant glamour and interest to this all white bedroom.
