▲ BEDROOMS

PALE COLOURS WILL HELP
A SMALL BEDROOM SEEM
MORE SPACIOUS, HOWEVER
ALL-WHITE CAN BE TOO STARK

However, it can be fun to experiment
with patterned bedding, as long as
the overall effect doesn't become too
overpowering.
If the walls are neutral, bed linen
gives you the opportunity to make
big, colourful changes.

GUIDING LIGHT

If you're planning to get a new bed
frame, make sure you get one that
best fits the style you're trying to
achieve with the whole room. A
wooden bedstead, for example, will
make the room feel more natural,
while a sleigh bed in wood or leather
makes a bold and stylish statement.
Don't forget to measure the space
available carefully. Your new super
king size bed may look just the way
you want, but it's hardly ideal if it's
so big you can't walk around it,
or there's no room for any other
furniture. Big isn't always beautiful
- even in the bedroom.
And don't forget the mattress. How
long a mattress will last depends on
several factors, such as the amount
of use it gets and the original quality,
but in general, according to the
Better Sleep Council (bettersleep.
org), a mattress that has been in
use for seven years 'is no longer
providing you with the best comfort
and support, and should be replaced'.
Bed linen and soft furnishings will
play a major part in your design, too.
In fact, you can completely change
the look and feel of your bedroom
simply by replacing them.
If the wallpaper is patterned,
choosing plain bedding a safe bet.

HIDE YOUR
CLUTTER
WITH FITTED
DRAWERS AND
WARDROBES

As for lighting, get it right and the
effect can make a huge difference
to the ambience of your bedroom.
Trouble is, the huge range of lighting
installations on the market makes it
a difficult decision to make.
To choose the right lighting
for your bedroom, you need to
understand the basics. Here are a
few pointers to consider:
Seek advice. Take your room
measurements, along with socket
locations and furniture placement,
to a lighting showroom where the
experts can tell you what options
you have and help you choose
Light wisely. Decide what you
want to do in the room, then choose
appropriate lighting. Vanity areas
demand bright lighting, while a
sitting area will want softer fixtures
Place properly. Don't install lights
directly over the bed - you'll look up
at them while you are laying in bed,
which can be uncomfortable
The more the merrier... no single
light source is as good as a combination
of lamps and installed lighting
Think ambience. Dimmers and
coloured bulbs can alter the mood
Remember the wardrobe. Experts
recommend using fluorescent bulbs
inside because they provide lots of
light, are cooler, save energy and can

SARAH
SAYS
'Luxury is
the first
thing you
should think
about when
designing
a master
bedroom.
The bed is
what really
counts in
my book, as
we spend
so much of
our lives in
it. Invest in
pillows and
good linen.'

also be easily concealed behind the
header of the door
Don't overlight. The most
important thing that defines your
bedroom lighting choices is the size
of your room. And use the lighting
to complement the rest of your
design. If you've chosen a minimalist
layout, don't then light it with a
flamboyant chandelier
Use multiple layers of lighting. For
the best effect, don't try to illuminate
everything from one bulb or, indeed,
an enormous number of recessed
lights. Choose various types of lights
that can combine to make your
bedroom truly stunning
Stick with the tried and tested.
Don't feel you have to take on the
most contemporary lighting schemes
just because you can. There are
plenty of alternatives to table lamps
on bedside tables, but that's the best
way to bring visual symmetry to the
room. In many cases, the timeless
option is the right one.
