A bedroom should be styled with a good night’s sleep and relaxation in mind. Make yours dreamy
While crisp classic white linen and quality bedroom furniture will always remain in style, there are some pretty new looks and bedroom ideas for summer. The art of layering is the key. Using two or three tonal variations of one colour and mixing textures and subtle details in a particular palette is trending. Or update white or cream base layers with warm shades of pink, orange and yellow. We love FOXFORD’s new teracotta and fern bedlinen collections. Supersized headboards, adding sculptural curves to a space, work just as hard as a piece of art. Space-saving tricks – wall lights and discreet under-bed storage – are aways worth the investment. The ultimate? A planned wardrobe solution to tidy everything away.
