Walkthrough: The Bedroom
If you want to do a safe nice room try and play around with a little bit of something in it. I played about with the wall, pairing linen and suede together with brass studs.
I feel a bedroom should be a calm space where you can really relax. My bedroom is such a contrast from my other rooms.
I like oversized headboards because they balance the room, especially when the room has a fireplace. The room is quite masculine whilst also being airy
Multi-purpose Bedroom
If you have a big enough bedroom try to change it into a multi-purpose room. Most London rooms aren't that big. In my bedroom I insisted on having an area where I can sit and read. A chair with a stool in front is instantly more comfortable, allowing you space to properly relax.

The best adventure
The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!
