Without a doubt, your bedroom is the most intimate and personal space in your home. You want it to reflect your tastes and be the perfect display case for your favourite mementoes, but it also has to serve a practical purpose, whether you're looking to escape the pressures and stresses of everyday life.
The way you decorate your bedroom can also say a lot about your personal style – and your personality. Love crisp white sheets? You’re classical and timeless. Have a brightly coloured headboard? You’re a bit adventurous (and maybe you’re looking for a daily reminder of that favourite holiday you took three years ago)...

Your Bedroom Is Super Colourful | If your bedroom is an homage to a modern art museum, with Pop Art prints on every surface and brightly coloured walls, we’re guessing you’re a night owl who can subsist on minimal sleep – because all of that colour can be distracting. |
You’ve Got A Sumptuous, Hotel-Feel Headboard | If you like a little luxury in your life, this is likely to be reflected in your bedding, especially if you choose an opulent, tall, tufted headboard. |
You Have Lots Of Exotic Artefacts | You’re well-travelled. And you probably wish you didn’t live in the country/city/flat that you do live in, so you’ve created an oasis in your home. Your bedroom exudes a global, earthy, adventurous quality - just make sure your spoils from abroad are tempered with timeless neutrals and easy silhouettes so there isn't an overwhelming and distracting print story. |
Your Bedroom Is Pristine And Mostly White | Your taste is timeless – Crisp white sheets will never go out of fashion. An all-white room is also a serene, clean choice that’s easily adaptable if you suddenly crave a bit of print and colour. |
Your Bedroom Is Non-Fussy | You like to keep things simple and evolve your tastes based on seasons or moods. The structure of your bedroom is made up of simple, fairly neutral items (like wallpaper, furniture, curtains, etc.), which is great. |
You’re Perfectly Coordinated | You might be stuck in decades past. It might also be a good sign you're not too sure what your bedroom style is. You transform the space into what it needs to be - an antidote to the stresses of life - Whether it's something calming, energising or quirk. |
Your Room Is A Bit Blah | your rooms a bit bland and it's just stuff thrown with other stuff... adding personal touches to the bed – tactile knit throws and cushion create a unique look and add depth, while adding a flat sheet is a smart way of introducing accent colour which saves you changing the whole bed linen set after every week! |
You’ve Got Drapery, Florals And A Four-Poster Bed | You’re a romantic. A stunning four-poster bed (more traditional with drapes; contemporary without) provides a decadent escape from everyday hassles while feminine furnishings (printed throws, floral curtains, framed artwork) add a girly appeal to your space. Or your tastes might veer towards the Gothic and opulent, with dark satin sheets and velvet pillows. |
You’ve Chosen A Colourful Bed And Bold Bedframe | You want your bedding to reflect your own unique taste and realise that the bed is the focal point of the room. Stuck on a colour? Picking a colour or pattern that conjures up happy memories (like that cobalt blue hue that reminds you of your favourite summer holiday spot). You can then work the rest of the colour scheme around the bed, which should also make a statement. |
Your Granny's Lamp Is On Your Bedside Table | Your bedroom is filled with vintage frames and mirrors, an antique bedframe and shabby chic lamps - a must-have in any vintage lover’s boudoir, which give the room a romantic, comforting charm. Try raiding your family’s vintage collection for retro treasures with a personal edge. |
