    DESIGNING A DREAM bedroom

    Mar 03, 2020 6 minutes

    Whilst the primary function of a bedroom is to offer a quiet and calm place for a good night’s sleep, it can also offer sanctury during the day if well designed. Investing in a quality bed should be pivotal when allocating budget – skimping will always be regretted. Once this has been achieved, there are many other important decisions to take.

    Early risers who like to wake naturally will choose different, lighter curtaining to those who find it hard to slumber soundly without total blackout. An upholstered headboard will be important for keen readers who head to bed early with a good book or like to be supported in comfort when drinking an early morning cup of tea whilst still under the covers.

    Here, with some beautiful bedroom case studies, interior designers reveal the practical and decorative considerations that elevate a bedroom from a functional space to an embracing setting conducive to relaxation, getting ready for a party or decadent mornings spent cuddling up with children or breakfast in bed.
