Bedrooms that Inspire

Give your bedroom a luxurious look with mirrored furniture and a flash of color. Here, the taupe-on-taupe stripe wallpaper and buttoned headboard give the room a tailored feel that’s softened by the cozy throw and vintage-inspired bed linen. Finish off the look with a shaggy carpet to treat your feet



To get a classic 60s look, combine bright colors and strong pattern. There are plenty of contemporary fabrics and wallpapers about that hark back to this era. Think bold geometric patterns.



Keep purple rich and vibrant so it doesn't make the room feel gloomy. Avoid using it wall-to-wall, but combine patterned wallpaper with painted walls in a corresponding tone. Choose accessories in the same purple as your wall color, and team with plush velvets and silks to add to the opulent feel that purple creates.




A bedroom needs to feel calm but doesn't mean it can't work hard. Choosing the right storage is key. Go for a bed that has concealed storage underneath, then dress it with luxurious linens, pretty cushions and a coordinating throw.



A traditional Victorian-style bed is teamed with modern damask wallpaper and elegant curtains for a dramatic look that marries old and new styles. Shimmering fabrics add to the glam factor.



Here, bold color and pattern are provided by wallpaper and curtains, while fabrics and accessories tone down the look in paler, solid blocks of color. The sleigh bed's pale fabric is ideal for most color schemes, so it wouldn't need to be re-upholstered if the style of the room was changed. Clear bedside tables make the room seem more spacious while the white, curvy lamps add a glamorous feel.
