Combine blues and greys together to create a calming bedroom scheme. Mix up your blue tones so that the look remains natural, rather than overplanned. Where you don’t have a lot of space on both sides of the bed, hang shelves instead of having a bedside table for a practical way to provide surface space, without taking up valuable floor area.

Create a pretty shabby-chic scheme with a mixture of prints. Here, the pink wallpaper marries well with the floral fabrics, as well as the wallpaper that’s been used to cover the glass of the wardrobe. Neutral paint on the wooden panelling and wardrobe keep the look understated, while the pink chair provides a hit of block colour.

Take advantage of a beautiful bay window if you’re lucky enough to have one in your bedroom. It’s the ideal spot for a tranquil seating area. Keep everything feeling spacious by choosing a seat that takes up only a third of the space available and team it with a compact side table with a slimline feel so that your room has space to breathe.

Calm blues can offset the busyness of a lot of pattern, so indulge in some really beautiful prints and turn your bedroom into a walk-in work of art.

Frame your bed by hanging a group of prints above your headboard. Keep to the same size and colour of frame for a uniform look. Also consider the style of your pictures – ideally, it’s best to go for works that are similar in theme and colour if you’re hoping to achieve a smart finish.

Turn a spare room into a versatile space that can be used as a home office and a guest room. A day bed is great for this, as it does double duty as a sofa and bed. The desk also has wheels and can be easily moved out of the way when extra space is required.

A feature headboard is a beautiful way to bring colour to the bedroom. This impactful design extends either side of the bed, making a smart backdrop for tables and lighting. while its tones are echoed in a sumptuous mix of linen, velvet and mohair.

Blend spicy cinnamon shades with soft blues for a restful retreat. A naive floral on the wall sets the scene for a folky mix of woodland motifs, embroidery, weaves and knits. Furniture has been kept simple so that the prints can be the centre of attention.

Think blue and green should not be seen? Think again. There’s a lot of pattern going on here, but the soothing colour palette makes for a harmonious scheme. A black bed acts as a mellower, more grounding accent to a blue-and-green mix than white furniture.
