Join the dark side
Tempted to dabble in deep, inky hues? Dark walls equal instant cosiness, providing you choose the right colour for your aspect. North- and east-facing rooms have the coolest light – where grey shades can appear green. Dark colours with a hint of warmth (Farrow & Ball’s Railings is just one of many), will counteract this, creating a cocoon-like effect that’s suited to a sleep space.
South- and west-facing rooms receive warmer afternoon and evening sun, meaning they’ll carry almost any colour. Shades with a hint of teal will give a similar feel to this petrol blue bedroom. Find a paint shop or department with knowledgeable staff, ask for suggested colours and try a few samples.
Test paints in large swatches on a white base and review on different walls at various times of the day to be sure of success. As you’ll be using your bedroom mostly after dark, take a look at potential colours at night (with the lights on) as well.

Pick up an accent
Who knew a red-themed bedroom could feel so restful? Because this room’s base remains white and grey, and the fabric used for the curtains and cushions isn’t solid red, but a red and white pattern, they – along with the ruby bedside tables – introduce colour without overwhelming the scheme. Bright, Popeye-themed artwork adds the fun factor.

Create country comfort
Cottage-style cosiness is ensured in this cute-as-a-button bedroom. The iron bed frame is a charming and traditional choice that works well in the small space. Wooden wall panelling, velvet cushions and a knitted blanket all help to bring warmth through interesting textures.
When choosing curtains, go for full- rather than half-length for a more streamlined effect that will help to keep your room feeling larger.

Bewitch with a bohemian vibe

Layer lovingly
Luxurious drapes set the tone for a scheme laden with fabulous fabrics. Paisley and floral prints in faded hues complement the pelmet-topped curtains with their opulent tassel tiebacks. Fresh flowers help by providing a hint of vibrant greenery.

Plump for a pair
Symmetrical styling is an easy way to make your bedroom look pulled-together and purposeful, as well as inviting. Matching bedside tables and lamps are a good start. A piece of art above the bed is also a tried and tested way of creating a focal point, particularly if your headboard is low key.

Amplify your attic
A twin bedroom becomes a bird-filled wonderland in this snug attic. Checked cushions give a rustic slant (with welcome flannel shirt associations) and provide a geometric counterpoint to the busy wallpaper.
Again, when contrasting pattern, a limited colour palette is a good jumping-off point for beginners.
