One of my favourite additions to a bedroom are paintings that evoke a positive memory and set the tone for when you’re in this private space. A more modern, inspiring and personal twist to this could be displaying a collection of family photographs that have been printed on metal or acrylic or canvas, rather than the conventional framing route. – Audi Snÿman

Dreamy bedrooms

Create a restful space.
“If you have volumes of space to work with, you could consider using vibrant or dramatic wallpaper and then reflecting some of the tones in the headboard, rugs, or using art. Remember that the bedroom is a place of rest, so whatever colours you do introduce into yours, you must find some rest and rehabilitation amid them.”

Let’s get loud

“My top tips include steering away from using bold prints and patterns on large pieces of furniture. and rather introducing them via accent pieces or accessories, such as scatter cushions, wall art, rugs, or an occasional chair. Bold prints and patterns can be used to complement a large, brightly coloured statement piece of furniture, as well as introduce a central tone or theme into a room, for example via custom-designed wallpaper on one side of the room.” – Audi Snÿman

Sophisticated style

Neutrals are the glue that keeps a colour kaleidoscope together. Using neutrals helps to contrast any other colours, be they pastels or really loud expressions of colour.
Neutrals can be a soft grey, charcoal, dove grey, beige and even an off white. They form the base tone but do not carry the theme. In the image with the gallery wall I used a neutral dove grey with two shades of teal as complementary colours.
