It’s that time of year when we start to think about Christmas (come on, no matter how much you hate the C word it’s coming so get on board) and I don’t know about you, bur for me I always like to set myself an interiors goal in the lead up to the festive season as it’s a time when you invite friends and family to share in the celebrations. This year I’m turning my attention to my bedroom – ok ok, it’s unlikely that our guests will spend much time in my room, but after being in our home for two years this month I think it’s high time I focused on transforming my room.
I have to be completely honest and say that in it’s current state it’s hardly horrendous, but it still hasn’t got that dream, chilled yet luxurious vibe I’m after. Yorkshire Linen set me the task of creating a mini mood board for my bedroom, focusing on those ‘finishing touches’ that really can transform a room. For me finishing touches typically means lamps, photo frames and bedding. Oh and chandeliers but I think I may be on my own with that one!
Dressing the bed with bedspreads, cushions (basically anything soft) is one of my interior weaknesses as in I probably do it far too much. Yes most of them have to be thrown on the floor in order for you to get into bed but I still want to be seduced by just how good my bed looks when bedtime comes around, because let’s face it as a parent we don’t nearly as much time in bed as we should.
I’ve picked out pieces from the Floral Generic range available at Yorkshire Linen, in particular the bedspread, cushions and pillow shams. Every room in my house is white – not because I can’t be bothered to decorate (trust me, it took me weeks to decide upon the exact shade of Antique white to paint the whole house with!) but because I love the light that comes with a white house and the calmness it brings – and I wanted to break away form the pale pink vintage bedspread I have at the moment. Yet with this design I’ll still be keeping a floral theme just using textures rather than colour.
White as a colour is so underrated when it comes to home décor, now ive got the inspiration I can’t wait to get started on transforming my bedroom in time for Christmas.
