hian Barker, Head of Design at leading design studio Accouter, has sound advice, aimed at creating a calm yet sumptuous new look for a large master bedroom. A wide palate of shades in the white, cream, gold and bronze spectrums help keep the look of the room light, yet also warm, cosy and peaceful. This range of complementary hues ensures a restful yet strikingly beautiful finished room. Add to this a rich, warm and sumptuous taupe silk inlay surrounded by a white carpet with thick underlay and you will enjoy the softest underfoot experience possible.

DREAMS
Whatever the size of your bedroom, it makes sense to create a space that’s a tranquil and relaxing haven – after all the average person spends a third of their life asleep! So let Surrey Magazine guide you through the maze. As Rhian has already advised, neutral or pale colours will help to create a stress free environment. Chalky pastels, whites, creams, beiges and coffee colours are ideal. When dressing your bed, aim for natural fabrics in a variety of textures. If all this seems a little bland, brightly coloured bed cushions can add a touch of glamour without being overwhelming.
The right kind of lighting is paramount in creating a restful atmosphere. Uplighters will gently illuminate a room whilst wall- mounted or table lamps create pools of light. A dimmer switch will soften the main ceiling light – but do ensure your bedside light is bright enough to read by comfortably. Make sure you include plenty of
storage – a messy, cluttered bedroom is stressful, and heaps of clothes and shoes can be hazardous as well as irritating. Fitted wardrobes often make the most of your space especially if you have an odd-shaped bedroom. Full and half height hanging rails maximise the storage space. Don’t forget all
