​Bedroom

Bedroom

​The bedroom is personal to you and reflects who you are more than any other room in the home. This is where your day begins and ends and can influence your state of mind day to day. For some, this is a shared space, which is cut off from the outside world, away from judgement and responsibilities. Here you can be yourself and truly enjoy your own company - or other's.


Design Inspirations:

Let There Be Light

Trouble sleeping or sensitive to light? Try installing some automated curtains or blinds which will shut out small streams of light, leaving no disruptions to your sleeping pattern. Automated curtains come in beautiful designs adaptable to suit your chosen décor.    

Paint or Wallpaper

Paint
Picture
Pros
  •  Painting requires less preparation time than wallpaper. 
  • Paint is a good option for areas that need to have an inexpensive and easy application.
  • You can mix and match paint textures and colours easily to create your own faux finishes, colourwash, smooshing, ragging, bagging, sponging and more.
  • Easier to apply than wallpaper. 
​
Cons 
  • When walls are damaged, scraped or hit, paint can chip and repairing and repainting will be necessary.
  • If you want to go over a dark colour with a lighter colour, many layers are required, which may end up costing more.


Wallpaper
Picture
Pros
  • ​Wallpaper is durable and will hold up to wear and tear.
  • ​Gives the versatility of texture to a room. 
  • Available in thousands of designs allowing you to mix and match themes.
  • Wallpaper can easily cover defects such as uneven, cracked or slightly off-angle walls.
​
​
Cons
  • Removing wallpaper can be a strenuous task that requires the right tools and methodology.
  • Stripping wallpaper can be done with chemicals or stripping tools, but care must be taken or damage can result to the wall.



Putting Up a Shelf


​Shelves are a great way of storing books, dvds, anything you have that you don't want taking up floor room.
