What is you bedroom like?

Rather a mess !
Full of stuff as I'm mid moving .
But with lots of lovely books like a library -the way that I like it !

Yep, Esmay, most rooms in my house ( including my bedroom) look like a library exactly as I like them. My children fear that they might find me dead, in bed, one day, flattened by a fall of the tottering pile of books by my bed.
This is a little at odds with the elegant cream Provencal vibe of the Laura Ashley furniture.

I remember you starting that ,Jane
I was so impressed I looked up patterns and quickly changed my mind. It’s absolutely stunning, well done ??

I decided I wanted a change in the bedroom ( oh made some unprintable jokes ?) but anyway, it’s taken me about 2 weeks of looking at the walls, ordering samples and finally deciding on a tartan wallpaper. Showed it to himself, nah. ? Back to the drawing board.

Och Aye!

Tartan carpet!?

It’s my favourite room! Laura ashley wallpaper, green painted woodwork, original fireplace, curtains which are old and red and a bit faded. My bed is Victorian cast iron (ok, marks and Spencer!) with a lovely velvet patchwork cover. I have an old fashioned brass Victorian lamp and painted furniture. It’s my little oasis.

Well mine lacks any coherent style. It is a very big room with pale walls and a huge super king sized bed with a pink and cream patchwork cover..... and cream curtains with tiny pink flowers. Big bed now only occupied by me sadly.

The main feature of the room is the fabulous country view and I have the bed up on raisers to take advantage of it while sitting in bed with cup of tea.

The view from the bed is the most important feature of eny bedroom.

Depends what you do in bed.
If you're sleeping, making love or reading a book, it doesn't really matter what the view is outside the curtains!

Well, we have decided on sort of lavender walls, white wood work (of which there is loads including an arched beam from one side of the room to the other) cream carpet, bed and dressing table and white bedding. New curtains and velux blind. They start on Wednesday.

Sounds really lovely!

Just keep it out of bounds for any sticky-fingered GC who might visit!!

The bedroom is my sanctuary. White, with wooden floor and soft rugs. My favourite paintings, many books, very pale gold lampshades, and the sun floods the room first thing in the morning. I love it!

Although in France my wood floor bedroom is very English, (and last decorated while I was working) looks very calm and tidy, with a south facing window. John Lewis lamps and white bedding. One wall Farrow and Ball dark green Yukutori wallpaper, another, wall to wall ceiling to floor white curtains hiding bookshelves (plus anything else I can get hidden) with another wall covered in a huge mirrored wardrobe to hide stuff. Never have too many places to hide things behind.
