Kathryn walks you through the main bedroom at La Castellane, sharing her tips for how to use fabric to create a calm and restful environment.

From the Lesson Workbook

  1. Don't be afraid of personal touches that may not be traditionally 'pretty'. The toy stars on my bedroom ceiling bring lots of joy to my bedroom.
  1. Using the same fabric for a cushion, a headboard and a curtain brings calm to a space. In this case, I have used one of my own fabrics, "Bouquet".
  1. The art and fabric in the room can pull in the colour, so I again can stay simple on the colour of my walls.
  1. I covered the chairs in some candlewick bed covers, similar to these ones.
  1. When I'm pushed for storage I try to find two armoires that are quite similar and paint them in the same colour. When doing this I undercoat in a dark colour as it makes the cupboards look a little older.
