Created by leading interior designers, these bedroom can inspire ideas for transforming your own bedroom in a soothing retreat.
It’s all about balance
Style, sophistication and functionality are the key features for this master retreat. We love the balanced mix of materials, textures and tones, for example, the solid, grounding timber balancing the light and airy curtains.

Start with art
You spend approximately one-third of your life in your bedroom so it should be a place you love to be.
What is the first thing you see in the morning and last thing at night? Why not make it something that makes your heart sing like a beautiful piece of art or some fabulous wallpaper?

Don’t be swayed by trends
While it’s great to be inspired and refreshed by trends, it’s more important to create a space you love. Whether that’s dark and dramatic or white and bright always pay attention to the spaces that make you feel good.
With its cool terrazzo floor and dark colours, this bedroom may feel cave-like for some but cocooning for others.

Pay attention to lighting
The bedroom calls for both mood and task lighting. Wall lights or hanging pendants are great if there’s no space for side tables and tables lights.
A mix of both downlights and a beautiful pendant are also a great combination.

Consider different wall treatments
When space is tight and you don’t have a lot of room for furniture, you can always add personality to your space with a considered wall treatment.
With cladding, wainscoting, paint in different textures and finishes plus an endless choice of amazing wallpaper, you are never short of choice for wallcoverings.
The value of natural fibres
Natural fibres such as cotton, linen, bamboo and merino can help you get a good night’s sleep because they are good at keeping the body at an even temperature.

Look Up
The ceiling is another place you can inject some personality into your bedroom rather than going for a conventional plasterboard ceiling, particularly as you spend time in bed looking up.
Wooden ceiling boards as shown here add warmth to the room and are a classic and natural option. There are also various ceiling tiles available such as decorative pressed metal tiles.
Ceilings can also be painted different colours, or even wallpapered for a unique look. Your style of home may also suit a coffered ceiling from a dramatic look or a beadboard ceiling for more casual vibe.
Have Fun
While calming colours are often recommended for the bedroom, there’s no harm in having some fun with your design and choosing finishes that bring you joy.
