INTERIOR DESIGN FOR BEDROOM

Interior Design for bedroom

Whether referred to as the boudoir, dormitory, chamber or master suite, luxury interior designers in London know the bedroom is one of the most important spaces in a property.

Designing a new bedroom can also be one of the most creative and expressive experiences. You can dispense with the more restrained and demure approaches sometimes applied to social areas, such as living rooms, and instead embrace wilder designs as the audience is more private. Here are three interior design for bedroom ideas you may like to consider:-

There’s something about Louis

Picture 18th century France and the ‘Louis’ eras, when monarchs Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI were in power. Often referred to as the ‘golden era of French furniture’ by interior designers, this exquisite and often flamboyant style found its home in the bedroom – and it’s still finding favour today.

To achieve the ‘Louis’ look, our interior design studio in London will specify beds and dressing tables with curved, cabriole-style legs and ornate carvings, before accessorising with chandeliers and a chaise lounge. We’ll then elevate the luxury interior theme with lashings of chinoiserie and silk damask fabric, gilt accents and marquetry.

White out

If the desire is to create a Zen sanctuary away from family life, you can’t go wrong with an all-white interior design for bedroom. After all, if it’s good enough for Jennifer Lopez – whose touring rider stipulated an all-white dressing room with white candles, flowers, drapes and tables – it’s good enough for the best interiors in London. 

We stop the overall look feeling too clinical or cold in two ways. Adding texture via fabric is a failsafe strategy – think curtains, cushions, blinds and throws in white linen, cashmere, boucle and jacquard. Alternatively, we can layer different shades of white on the walls, furniture and accessories. To give you an example of the variety on offer, Farrow & Ball has over 20 shades of white alone. 

Over on the dark side

The bedroom is one space where you can get away with a majestically moody interior design as there’s less concern about natural light and more emphasis on a soothing, cocooning effect. The bravest bedrooms will be colour drenched – a design movement I’ve previously written about where walls, ceilings, woodwork and even radiators are painted the same shade: Carragheen and Top Hat from Fired Earth are two sumptuously rich paints to try.

For those seeking a compromise, a white ceiling and white bedlinen will temper darker walls, or you could opt for wallpaper. Anthriscus Dusk by Graham & Brown and Indian Sunflower in Graphite from Designers Guild are suitably dramatic but have a botanical pattern overlaid against their dark backgrounds, which serve to break up the blocks of colour.

As well as aesthetics and dressing, we can advise on architectural and structural alterations, such as knocking through two rooms to create a large principal bedroom, converting an attic and adding walls to yield an en suite.
