HOMEstyle Bedrooms Blissful Whether you dream of a glamorous setting, a
luxurious hotel-style bedroom, or would simply like a quick update, here’s everything you need to know...
WITH DESIGN EXPERT GABRIELLE FAGAN
GLAMOROUS SANCTUARY “Creating a glamorous look is all about using
rich, decadent colours and textured fabrics,” says Samantha Parish, interior design manager for bespoke beds and mattress specialists, Hypnos. “Conjure a warm and inviting colour palette with champagne hues, subtle pinks, purples and plums. Combine textures such as satin, velvet and faux fur, key to creating a luxurious, romantic feel. “For a contemporary vibe, dress a bed with white bed linen and a velvet throw, and add an eclectic mix of cushions. In any style of bedroom, the bed should always take centre stage. For a more feminine interpretation, add art deco-style mirrored furniture and on-trend metallic accents, lamps and accessories.”
Expert DECOR TIP
For smaller rooms, avoid heavy patterns and dark colours, as they’ll look too busy, while at the other end of the scale, larger
rooms shouldn’t be too minimalist, as they can look cold.
HOTEL STYLE “A boutique hotel-style bedroom is a
hugely popular choice and this crisp, smart look appeals particularly to couples who want a style that suits both their tastes, and is neither overtly feminine nor macho,” says Samantha. “Colour is key in creating a haven of rest, so look at palettes you’re both drawn to. If you can’t agree on which shade, opt for something pale - like a soſt grey or off-white hue - that provides a neutral backdrop. “Enhance the mood and ambience with carefully considered lighting, such as task lighting for bedtime reading on either side of the bed.”
Expert DECOR TIP
Dare to go for a paler carpet, as this is normally a ‘low-traffic’ area and hopefully, where people don’t wear shoes. Neutrals or greys will work with most schemes, and carpet is warmer underfoot.
