Designing a bedroom should focus on creating a space that you find relaxing and cozy. A glance through our gallery of ideas shows there are countless ways to achieve this. While pale paint colors and subtle patterns certainly have their place, bedrooms often offer a great opportunity to explore bold colors and patterns. Consider using bedroom wallpaper to add personality, especially in rooms that aren’t used every day. Ensure that the room’s layout suits its intended use. If space and budget permit, built-in storage can significantly enhance the room’s functionality and create a more seamless look compared to a room filled with standalone furniture.

Window treatments play a crucial role in bedroom design. Some people prefer complete darkness for sleeping, while others enjoy waking up with the morning light. Luxurious, long curtains made from thick materials can add warmth and elegance during winter. Pairing these with sheer blinds allows daylight to filter in during the day. For those on a budget, ready-made curtains are widely available, and blinds alone can be a cost-effective window dressing option. Even custom blackout blinds can be made affordably in a fabric of your choice.

Salvesen Graham has skillfully blended comfort and sophistication in a top-floor Mayfair apartment. The bedrooms are enveloped in muted colors and patterns, with De Gournay wallpaper used to elevate a small bedroom.
