The bed with a bedside table painted grey, with the new white chair.

Before there was a pine bedside table with a rattan chair.

The previously all grey room has been updated with dusky pink walls to create a softer, romantic feel. Toning pale blues from the cushions and curtains, together with the stronger greens in the artwork and plants all combine to make a harmonious, restful colour scheme.

An eclectic mix of artwork with personal value adds the finishing touch to the room.

A clever mix of contemporary and traditional. Elements of copper, brass and chrome, combine with geometric shapes in the soft furnishings and lamp to give the room a relaxed but edgy look.

With the floors and doors stripped back to the original wood, the old pine furniture looked dated and in need of a refresh. Now painted in a soft grey, it looks perfectly suited to a period property. Storage which is reminiscent of old fashioned steamer trunks add a stylish twist, blending old and new, and a mixture of metals in the chrome handles, copper lighting and brass mirror add visual interest.
