Create a haven of calm in your bedroom

Your bedroom is the one room in the house that is just for you – the place you go to relax and enjoy peace and quiet. Turn it into a calming haven with a colour scheme of layered whites and neutrals. Keep surfaces as uncluttered as possible and use colour sparingly to keep the space restful and serene.

For subtle contrast, highlight skirting boards and architectural details in bright white. Patterns, like a fine pinstripe in a darker neutral on an off-white wall, will draw the eye and give definition to the space. Add warmth with textured surfaces and soft furnishings, such as white painted floorboards and delicate curtains.
