‘The wide width of the wallpaper did justice to the space and motif, giving it breadth whilst the upwards trailing vines drew the eye up past the slope, giving the room height.’ 5. The layout of the room, although expansive, was wide and long and an awkward ceiling slope required some thought,’ adds Kate. ‘We like how the pattern brings a plushness, whilst the muted color adds a restful tone. While wallpaper was used, the effect is very much like an artist’s painting and adds a note of luxury.

‘Creating a restful space is always a priority in a bedroom scheme, in this project we took our design cues from the Arts & Crafts bones of the building, opting for a decorative Tree of Life wallpaper in the master bedroom,’ says interior designer Kate Cox at HÁM interiors. In this bedroom by HÁM interiors, the pretty wallpaper stretches dynamically across the wall, cleverly picking up all the colors in the room. But the good news is that you can easily achieve a similar look with paint, wallpaper or even tiles.

While you can have a bespoke wall mural idea created, you would need pretty deep pockets. Use different tones to create an illusion of heightĪ decorative mural can bring a wall to life and be either large or small scale. To ensure that, we chose child-like, small-scale art and displayed it in a random pattern for a more playful feel.’ 3. ‘Because this guest room was meant to be used by adults and children alike, the room needed to appeal to both groups. ‘Randomly placed art can make a bedroom feel visually interesting and sophisticated,’ she says. Hanging art in unexpected ways or layouts can add to the character keeps the eye traveling around the room like in this design by New York and Chicago-based interior designer Michael Del Piero. When it comes to displaying your pieces, there is no need to go the conventional route either. You can think further out of the box and use a textured wall hanging or a beautifully framed piece of fabric or sculpture. If your budget doesn’t stretch to one-off individual pieces, there are many options like photographs and posters to choose from. And the bonus is that it is relatively easy and inexpensive to add art to your walls. Use wall art to create visual interestĪ wall without art is a missed opportunity to bring color, texture and character into a bedroom. ‘The paneled cupboard fronts bring character to the space, but designed as handless and finished in the same color as the walls they recede rather than dominate the space as a sizeable wardrobe can.’ 2. ‘A wall of bespoke joinery makes the best use of every corner,’ says Andrew. ‘The use of wraparound color gives this bedroom a gently cocooning feel, in a shade that connects with the treetops that can be seen from the window,’ says founder Andrew Griffiths.’ This room is in the property’s roof space, so has some irregular angles and varying ceiling height, but the wash of color helps even that out visually.’Īs well as the enveloping shade, clever joinery is another device used to add interest to the walls. Consider the same paint idea over walls, skirting and joinery – like in this project by A New Day interior design studio. And one of the best ways to do this is to use a deep single color across the whole room.

If there is one space you want to ooze coziness and comfort, it is the bedroom.
