LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION for a themed room?

How about choosing a hobby or particular interest and using that passion as a starting point?

It’s always much easier to derive inspiration and great ideas for styling themes for which we share a close affinity and understanding.

For a young girl’s bedroom, a horse themed room might showcase trophies, pictures, rosettes and memorabilia. With a little flair and imagination, the bed could easily be adapted or commissioned to look like a jump fence, whilst the door could be designed as a barn door or stencilled for the same effect. Liberal use of soft greens and gentle sky blues would complete the outdoor pasture effect whilst a few horsey leather accessories would add authenticity.

Just one of a wealth of possibilities for younger bedrooms, whilst elsewhere within these pages there are a multitude of ideas for more mature themes drawing on inspiration from all parts of the globe and diverse decorative styles.

From French country themes to Tuscany treasures, English country cottage or Parisian apartment styles and more. They are all there to be discovered. These more traditional decorative styles are a joy when everything comes together for that “just right” look. But again it’s always worth a little thought outside the box to come up with a hobby or interest inspired design that defies convention for a unique look.

Gardening, travel, fashion and culture interests are all food for thought, but whatever floats your personal boat, getting the focal point of the bedroom just right is crucial.

In this respect, the bed is the essence of any bedroom. Using it as a starting point for inspiration and working from there is invariably pleasing and successful.

Modern or more traditional Iron Beds, Wood Beds or Upholstered Beds all have a hugely important part to play. Commissioned bespoke designs might break the bank but can be a dream come true when it comes to turning your design aspirations into reality!

For ultimate impact and truly inviting results the key really is to be open to new ideas and not discount anything, even if it might seem a little quirky at the time.

Thinking radically can achieve beguiling decorative and styling results with plenty of thought provoking fun along the way….!
