Beautiful Bedroom Updates

If your bedroom is looking a little tired and jaded, here are some clever ways to turn it into a restful retreat this winter

- Mary Jane Harris

1. DOUBLE UP

Who says you have to have a bedside table and a dressing table? If the light is right, then combine them as Ali and Paul McAdam, owners of Block & Chisel have done here. The mirrored dressing table is ideal for sitting at to put on make-up and also the perfect height for a bedside light.

2. DRESSING WITH LAYERS

This advice isn’t just for clothing – it works really well for beds too. In winter, add quilts and throws in different textures and weights to enhance the cosy factor. In summer, use ones that are more lightweight and smooth to the touch.

3. ADD A MODERN ELEMENT

To give a traditional looking bedroom a lift, introduce scatter cushions in new, contemporary patterns and clean-lined accessories like this bedside lamp.
