Dream bedrooms: décor ideas to put you on cloud 9

Stuart Graham Fabrics

The bedroom is where we go to escape, a cocoon where we unwind, shrug off the day’s toils and slip, hopefully, into peaceful bliss. Décor can have a lot to do with that, creating spaces that breathe personality but are a balm for the soul. From modern to ornate, here are our top-pick bedrooms from our fabric collections to inspire you.

STATEMENT HEADBOARDS

Oversized upholstered headboards are in! In fact, the bigger the better to truly make a statement of luxury. If you’re brave enough, you’ll even upholster an entire wall. Seen here is the new Instinct Collection featuring a headboard upholstered with Memory Cloud, scatters in Memory Canyon and curtains in Mission Ginger. The peachy undertones and smoky blue hues create a wonderful calming space.

SCANDI WITH NATURAL CHARM

Create a bedroom you can feel at peace in with these linen-look, handcrafted designs from the Canterbury Collection. The ten timeless weaves, jacquards and embroideries embrace easy geometrics, trails, dots and plains in a palette of Scandi inspiration.

WHEN A GOOD NIGHT‘S REST IS A MATTER OF GEOMETRY

Characterised by subtle geometrics, the smooth jacquard designs of the Instinct Collection add slick modernity to a bedroom.  The curtains are Cinematic Aluminium paired with  Virtual Sesame scatters.

FEATURE WALL DELIGHT

Wallpapering just one wall in the bedroom goes a long way to personalise the space. Whether you like chic geometrics, misty forest landscapes, tumbling ferns or subtle florals, the Ambience Collection has a wide range of designs from which to choose.

BOLD IN THE BEDROOM

Supersized florals have blossomed in popularity. In a clean and airy space such as this room, a busy pattern can work. South Pacific is ideal for this. The sunny tones of Polynesia Papaya seen here add warmth and personality to an otherwise stark room.

Colour Yum: A peaceful palette

One of our favourite shots from the Living with Skinny laMinx Lookbook is this bedroom shot, where they have made up a headboard in the Breeze print, and teamed that concrete colourway with a squishy pile of pillows in restful greys and sages. It’s the perfect palette for unwinding and recharging, don’t you think?

Cushions from L-R: Breeze, in ConcreteBrancusi Stripe in SpruceSimple Stripe, in Liquorice. 

We’re not the only ones who love this peaceful bedroom palette: French magazine Coute Ouest featured their Breeze cushions in the ‘moonbeam’ colourway in this dreamy bedroom….

…as did Marie Claire Maison, using their Woodpile print in sage as the perfect tonal match with that delicious wallcolour.

On Remodelista, we found this room using a range of greens, with a touch of pink coming through from the other room. We love the cushions they used, but we could totally toss in a Brancusi Stripe in Shell and a Gridly in Mint too, to up the pattern quotient.

If this palette of sages and greys appeals, take a look at the other pattern options in the Skinny laMinx fabric book:

Advantages of hiring an Interior Designer

Do you have plans of redecorating your home? Or do you have a new home that still needs interior design? Well, if you think that you can manage this  yourself, or if you hire a decorator / designer, you will find and feel a huge and lasting difference in the outcome.

So, if you want a good interior design, hire the right person. Working with an interior designer would pay you back ten-fold since the results are not just beautiful but also practical. You can try comparing a home done by an interior designer and that of a home which was done by the homeowners alone. Although, we are not discouraging homeowners to be creative but we are just trying to substantiate the reasons why it would be advantageous to hire an interior designer. Here are some points below.

They are more knowledgeable

The mere fact that interior designers have experience in this field is already enough reason to trust them on interior design matters. They have the know-how and the skills on what to do with your home. You can tell them what you want and they can help you achieve a beautiful home interior. Interior designing is their field of expertise, so you do not have to worry. These people are professionals and would always give their best in every project since that is what they love to do.

When the design is done, you will be happy to see an interior just like how you want it to be. It can even exceed your expectations.

It can save your time

When you have a career and you have little time left for designing a new home or redecorating an existing home, an interior designer will be a wise choice. It can surely save your time while guaranteeing a great outcome !. Also, you can let the interior designer choose items for your home. So instead of spending a lot of time choosing furniture and other items, your interior designer can help you save time since they know what is best for your home and where to get it.

They are detail oriented

Interior designers are detail oriented. They look into every detail of the design. They also consider its function and form, not only aesthetics. They will be able to add a lot of extras you wouldn’t have considered. They will look at lighting, furnishings, accessories and all the other details of your interior. Bet you wouldn’t have the time to do all that.

They know good color combinations

Most people only know white, cream and other light colors that are usually used for the interior. But if you consult an interior designer, you will be surprised on how they can play with a variety of colors making your room look so lively. That will make your home look unique and attractive at the same time. Interior designers know how to mix and match color. They can even combine colors that you cannot imagine will look great together.

They can get you the right accessories and decorations

Aside from helping you get the right furniture, you will also be able to get the right accessories and decorations which are of course very much important. They know where to shop. They can even customize unusual pieces for you. Isn’t that great?

How to incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2020 into your home

Each year, color company Pantone selects a Color of the Year inspired by trends in society, culture, travel, and more.

On Wednesday, Pantone announced its Color of the Year for 2020, which is Classic Blue, “a timeless and enduring blue” that’s “suggestive of the sky at dusk,” according to the Pantone website. Turns out, the simple color – a rich, dark blue – is a favorite of many interior designers for its versatility.

Adding Classic Blue to a room in the form of a large piece of furniture, such as a statement-making couch.

Classic Blue can also make for an eye-catching accent wall.

A Classic Blue-painted vanity can add interest to an otherwise neutral bathroom.

A fresh coat of paint in the dark-blue hue can also spice up kitchen cabinets and built-in storage.
