Take a peep at some before and after bedrooms

If on average we spend a third of our lives in bed, then the bedroom is a room that is worthy of some serious decorating love. 

Here are just a couple of recent bedroom transformations. Each had a different brief and all three resulted in very happy occupants. 

The bedroom above inspired serious envy in the owners' friends. We covered the  walls with a subtle botanical print wallpaper in a fresh green which works wonderfully as the backdrop for the textiles. The result in a grown-up haven for rest and relaxation.

The changes we made in a small garden level room resulted in family booking weeks in advance to stay the weekend (and not wanting to leave). Bold wallpaper banishes the bland and disguises some tricky features.  Amping up the blue and white patterns and then adding a shot of yellow makes this room sing.

For a young couple, who had been at odds over how to decorate this key room, our approach restored harmony at home.  There are plenty of tactile elements, but by keeping the pattern on the bed, the room is restful, calming and importantly, just what they both wanted as it turned out.
