The bedroom that just didn't work, in Wimborne
Brief: To work out why the bedroom didn't feel relaxing and cosy
Design-only project. The client wanted help to work out why the bedroom wasn't feeling relaxing and cosy. The recommendations were:
Paint the walls in Dulux Egyptian Cotton to add warmth and reduce the contrast of the strong blue on the wardrobe doors
Remove all bright red in the room
Elevate the impact of the bed by:
buying good quality white bedding, including oxford pillow cases
buying plump feather-filled pillows
replace the duvet with a new feather filled one
adding two 50x50cm blue linen cushions
adding two 50x50cm natural linen cushions
adding one lime green and prussian blue velvet pom pom cushion (to pick up the green of the houseplants)
adding a blue textured throw, and layering on..
...a beige luxury faux fur throw
Replace the mirror with an LED mirror to make the dressing table fit for purpose
Add a larger plant on the dressing table
Tidy away toiletries in a basket rather than an acrylic tidy (less cluttered look)
replace the pendant light with a shade that will cast a softer light and look softer too
