15 beautiful bedrooms


Fabulously feminine Flirty and girly, this bedroom reminds us of a fashionable French apartment in Paris. The hits of colour and abundance of texture ooze glamour.


Splash of green This colourful bedroom reminds us of a luxe holiday escape in the tropics -- who wouldn't want to wake up to that every morning?


Wonderful whites This bedroom is a perfect showcase of how a room can be decorated in all white but be full of character. The tones range from cream to brilliant white, giving the room depth.


English charm For the more traditional types, this bedroom would be your cup of tea. Chinoiserie on the bedding and tall window coverings give the space some colour, while the repainted chandelier acts as a strong focal point.


Style for less Peter Fallico took this space from dumpy attic to beautful bedroom space and cut down on decorating costs along the way. He chose bedding from HomeSense and covered the bench in $40 fabric to match the pillow shams.


Rustic renovated barn By far one of our favourite interiors, this master bedroom is housed in a renovated barn that was moved from Canada to Connecticut. With high-beamed ceilings and a simple four-poster bed overlooking a wall of windows, this is the perfect place to snuggle on a cold winter's day.


Romantic retreat Curvy lines and antique finishes are the perfect touches for a romantic sleeping space.


Tribal patterns A simple bedroom is brought to life with tribal-patterned bedding. Opt for classic white bedding and introduce accessories like colourful cushions and throws that can be switched up when tastes change.


Contemporary classic A neutral palette and traditional design are what make this bedroom a cosy classic, but the addition of a sassy animal-print bench gives the room an edge.


Simply cosy Sometimes it doesn't take a lot to make a bedroom beautiful. The simpicity of this sleeping space is what draws us in, from the three-colour palette to the unfinished flooring.


Gorgeous greys Shades of grey and white come together to make this a serence space. Elements like the textural bedding and patterned rug help to keep things interesting.



Dreamy daybed It's not hard to see why we love this heavenly haven. A palette of pure white -- from the bedding to the art to the draperies -- makes this a perfectly pretty escape.


Personal touch Having a beautiful bedroom doesn't mean it needs to be void of personal items. The homeowner of this space opted for doggy photography rather than artwork or prints.


Pretty in pink Pops of hot pink are what make this small space bedroom stand out from the rest, from the feather wreath above the headboard to the bed accessories.


Stylish nursery This pretty baby girl's room keeps things simple and stylish enough for when she grows out of it being a nursery. The decal on the wall can be easily removed and replaced at any age.

What do colours mean in the bedroom?



We all associate different colours with certain moods and meanings. So within a bedroom, what does it say about the person if they choose to decorate their space in a certain colour? This is what we discovered…

Red is generally associated with danger, adventure and passion. The best room in the house to have red would be the dining room as it evokes sociable and sprightly feelings all that while stimulating the appetite. Red can be overpowering if used too much but if it is your favourite colour for the bedroom consider having a feature wall or choosing red wardrobes – our Metropolitan range features warm burgundy doors that create a sensual feel.

Orange is a warming colour and is said to offer stability, reassurance and is rumoured to aid digestion! So it’s a great colour for the kitchen, but painting your bedroom in the colour could make the room look smaller. If you do want to inject some zesty orange in the bedroom, use accessories such as this orange Conran bed throw.

Yellow depicts sunshine and energy, and is said to stimulate the intellect, making it a great colour for a study. It you put a few desk accessories in this colour it should help you get down to those books. Add a lamp, chair and notice board to get colour flowing through your home office.

Green is the colour of nature and energy. It’s calming and restful making it ideal for the bedroom due to the soothing effect it has on your mood. The right shade will circulate a fresh space where you can relax and unwind at the end of the day.

Blue has always been seen as a soothing colour but has lots of other beneficial qualities too. It encourages intellectual thought and prevents nightmares – perfect for the bedroom!

Pink can be just as peaceful and restful as blue, but it depends on the shade. If you choose a sweet baby pink, this evokes calmness, whereas a hot fuchsia can introduce passion.

Purple rooms evoke creativity, fertility and joy. It is also associated with magic. Similarly to red, it can become overpowering if used too much. Perhaps to balance this feeling you could have a feature wall such as this Tahiti wallpaper or choose a wardrobe such as our Cosmopolitan in aubergine.

So tell us, which colour would you choose?

7 Ways to Add Sensory Beauty To Your Home

Adding various methods to scent your home or office or even car is so soothing and relaxing to the senses, There are a myriad of methods to accomplish this, so today we'll be exploring a few.

1. Carpet Freshener - Very easy to make your own, take about a pound of pure baking soda and mix to it a few drops of essential oil or fragrance oil and blend it up in a food processor. Then pour this out on a shallow tray to allow to dry for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally. After this has dried, put in an airtight container.

This carpet freshener can either be sprinkled on your carpets directly, left a few minutes and vacuumed up, or simply put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and you'll get scent as you vacuum your carpets.

2. Simmer a scent by taking a saucepan on your stove and adding apple cider, cinnamon sticks, cloves & some orange peel. Simply let this simmer on low, adding small amounts of water as necessary so it doesn't run dry. This is a very homey, comforting scent that's so easy to do.

3. Try scenting a centerpiece. Here's an idea, bake a fresh bundt cake then take a small jar and fill it with fragrant flowers and then set this small jar of flowers in the center of the bundt cake. Experiment with different scent combinations. Lemon is beautiful with honeysuckle for example.

4. Perfume your pillows. Either by lightly misting with your favorite perfume, although be sure to test color fastness first on a hidden out of the way area to make sure it won't ruin the fabric. You can also use a purchased linen spray for the same purpose and is safer for the fabric in general. Another way to scent the pillow is to insert a small amount of potpourri inside a small sachet bag and either pin it to the side of the pillow, or insert it into the pillow case.

5. Scent your linen drawer or closet by tucking dried sprigs of lavender in between the layers of towels and sheets. You can also tuck them near the sides of the linens directly in the closet. Lavender not only provides a soothing, calming scent to those linens, but also works as a moth and insect repellant as well.

6. Scent seashells for your bathroom. If they are small shells, simply soak the shells for a few minutes in olive oil with a few drops of essential oil. For larger shells, add a few drops of essential oil right into the middle of the shells. Then set the shells on some type of decorative tray or basket in your bathroom or bedside table for a sight & smell treat.

7. Scented powder puff. Get some of your favorite scented powder, or even baby powder if that's your preference. Get one of those luxurious powder puffs, and take a long bubble bath. After the bath, pamper yourself with these beautifully scented powders applied with the soft powder puffs. The scent stays with you a long time and is one of those small ways to feel truly pampered and distressed.

Beautiful scents can be so calming in today's rushed, stressed filled lives. Finding ways to incorporate different scents, textures, sights & sounds can truly help relax and remind us to slow down and to enjoy life. Sometimes these simple things help us to refocus and not stress so much about those things we cannot change.
