TIME TO NEST

Bedroom bliss

This room embraces subdued tones and natural textures, including slubby hemp, sheer linen and soft cotton. The effect is ascetic in its simplicity but inviting and restful, giving a sense of humble cosiness.

DESIGN NOTES

• The colour palette in this pared-down space is deliberately spare, while the chunky woven throw adds a layer of texture.

• This bedroom is all about minimalism yet is not austere. The whisper of grey in the wall colour and the warmth of the wood adds a rustic, easy-on-the-eye appeal.

• In the spirit of embracing the Danish concept of hygge, the gauzy linen curtains encourage us to focus inwards.
