A taste of the
tropics
WELCOME THE SUMMER BY BRIGHTENING UP YOUR BEDROOM WITH THESE VIBRANT COLOURS, SHADES AND DESIGNS INSPIRED BY HOTTER CLIMES
T
hink of summer in the tropics and you’ve captured the essence of the trendy bedroom style. Choose zingy greens or purples, splashes of magenta and a range of blues, from aqua to deep navy. It’s a riot of colour that will brighten up even the dullest UK day,
so if the weather doesn’t come up to scratch, you’ll still feel energised by your surroundings. Don’t get carried away, though. Walls and floors should be kept nice and neutral to avoid a look that can tip over into ‘60s psychedelic! Accessorise by introducing texture with ruched velvet cushions, smooth shiny glass, and satiny lampshades.
