SLEEPING BEAUTY

1 PAPER A FANTASTICAL FOREST

Makeover your bedroom with mostly vintage and found pieces to keep costs low. But consider splurging on a striking wallpaper, even if you can only afford to cover one wall. Here, the remaining walls were painted a deep green for seamlessness. Cole & Son Forest wallpaper, iconradford.com.

2 LINGER IN BED

Do you live in a studio apartment? Does your living room double as a guest suite? Beyond a Murphy or sofa bed, a key space-saving solution is floor-to-ceiling storage/shelving so stylish you'll want to linger in bed! Linen House Irvine Pink Salt queen cotton quilt cover set, $269, coordinating accessories extra, domayne.com.au.

3 GREEN WITH ENVY 

The ability of green to imbue a space with serenity is undeniable, making it perfectly suitable for the bedroom. Add hints of blues and the colours of the night sky to create a sleeping space that feels curated as well as restful. And if you have a yen to make a quilt - even if you're new to quilting - consider using cotton and linen fabric scraps and offcuts and piecing them together to create a one-off contemporary design. Search the web for patchwork beginner classes close to you. Once you start, you'll be well and truly hooked!

4 GOING GINGHAM STYLE 

Gingham, reminiscent of country cottages and picnics, is back in favour and it has never looked so good! Timeless, versatile and spring-like, keep the look sharp with linen pre-washed for softness. Springsteen Moss queen sheet set, $319.99, and queen quilt cover set, $269.99, linenhouse.com.au.
