WIDE AWAKE

If you’re unable to get away this summer, consider giving your bedroom a boutique hotel-style makeover, starting with a super-wide headboard for that unmistakable look of luxe. Amalfi Luxe Feather Grey velvet king size bed, £699, danetti.com

FIT FOR LIFE

Fitted bedroom furniture is the ideal solution for those for whom the expression ‘a place for everything, and everything in its place’ has real meaning. When planning, don’t make my mistake – remember you need somewhere for your magnificent shoe and bag collection. Imperial bedroom furniture, from £500, crown-imperial.co.uk

THE KING AND I

Bedroom furniture isn’t something we change often, so decide what style you love best and take the time to find pieces you know you will be happy to live with for a while. If shabby chic is your thing, you will enjoy this collection, inspired by King Gustav III of Sweden, no less. Lisbeth chest of drawers, £895, frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk

DRESS UP TABLE

Give yourself a ‘Marilyn moment’ every time you get ready to go out. An elegant dressing table is the perfect finishing touch in the bedroom – and for you. Go on, you know you’re worth it. Monza dressing table, £699, and stool, £189, ercol.co.uk
