However just because it’s laid back doesn’t mean that the room has to be either boring or a complete mess with clothing and bedding strewn nonchalantly over the floor! There’s a marked difference between laid back and messy!

Use today’s colour palette of smoky grey which lean towards purple to create a look which is laid-back and yet stylishly comfortable. Add a variety of cushions to your bed in jewelled tones and with different textures such as silk (or faux silk) velvet and organza which has a natural sheen. Plain quilted bedspreads uk give this style of room a polished look with being over-the-top. They’ll also help to keep you warm during the cold months.

Plain walls and flooring also suit this style of room, giving it a laid-back and unfussy look as the eye will immediately be drawn to the focal point of the room – namely the bed. Keep window dressings practical and functional by using wooden blinds, blackout roller blinds, cheap curtains or combinations of blinds and curtains to carry the laid-back theme throughout the room.

Flooring should also be functional and practical – if you have wooden floors the use of large rugs adds a homely, laid back touch and will help to ground your colour scheme.

Steer away from soft furnishings which are not functional as they serve no purpose and will only make you believe the room is cluttered. Clever use of storage should be adopted , by using built-in wardrobes to maximise floor space. By all means add personal touches, without these your bedroom will lack any character and remind you of budget hotel bedroom, which is a cold and lonely place to be – especially on your own!

Getting the balance between laid-back and bland is a fine line – get it right and you’ll love the results, however, getting it wrong will undoubtedly mean that your bedroom looks a little lacking on the style front. So, keep to the basics and use colour and texture in the right proportions – experiment a little so that the balance is both pleasing to the eye and your bank balance.

Designers have also included the mix and match approach, with floral patterns being used in conjunction with spots and stripes. The colour palettes are vibrant without being gaudy – rosy pinks, creams and duck egg blues with black add a modern and contemporary look which isn’t staid or boring!

In your bedroom fresh white bed linen with a patterned duvet cover is an instant pick-me-up to a tired looking bedroom. Furthermore as these are the basics for many of our bedrooms the look is easy to achieve even if you have a restricted budget. Don’t forget that you’ll also need to up date your other soft furnishings if you want this spring-time look in your bedroom which packs a delicate punch and brings you a whole new look. Simply changing your duvet sets is a start but not the whole kit and caboodle.

Try and find spring blooms which are out of the ordinary and team them with new colours to excite your bedroom, making it stand out from the crowd. Look for a variety of different textures so that your bedroom isn’t flat and boring.

If you don’t want floral walls or bedding then a large rug with a floral print will bring a new dimension to your room. Try to avoid the typical bedroom scene of having a rug either side of the bed – this is so yesterday! – today large rugs are placed off centre in a room or placed under the bottom third of a bed.

Change your window dressing as well to alter the dynamics of your bedroom. Again, you don’t have to spend a fortune as cheap curtains with a spring bloom theme will do the trick very nicely. If you’ve always had short curtains which finish at your window sill go for full length – eyelet curtains will provide an instant up-date to your bedroom.

Half the trick is trying a new approach to the way you decorate and style a room. Experiment, have fun and you’ll be able to put a spring into your step and your bedroom!

Let’s start by taking a look at the country cottage scene. The quintessential English country cottage uses floral fabrics, stripes and gingham checks for soft furnishings. The use of wood is all so seen in bedrooms with rocking chairs, bed frames and curtain poles. The whole ambience is one of quaint charm and peacefulness and reminds us of fabrics which have cottage garden flowers and pastel colours.

If you want to adopt the trend of handmade you could make your own patchwork cushion covers and bed throws, request free fabric samples so that you can coordinate the patterns and colours more easily. You could also up-cycle (another of this year’s trends) some of your old linen and even clothes, to create patchwork covers – which would be ideal for a Shabby Chic styled bedroom.

To create a Victoriana look include lace edges or silk ruffles to trim your patchwork soft furnishings.

Bring patchwork up-to-date by giving it a modern twist, you could create a statement headboard in patchwork or cover feature a wall in a patchwork of squares. Coordinate the look by adding a patchwork trim onto duvet sets and pillow slips.

One of the great advantages of patchwork is that you can use any colours you like, for example you could opt for a predominance of red, pink, blue or green whatever takes your fancy and suits the style of your home and your existing colour scheme.

The use of patchwork is also a superb wide of bringing different textures together to add diversity into your décor. A contemporary and modern look use patchworks which include faux animal hide, snakeskin and luxury velvet fabrics. From more traditional patchwork you should base your fabrics on cotton blends. If you’re making bedspreads or throws try and use the same weight of fabric throughout so that the throw lays relatively flat.

Obviously you have to love the use of colour to adopt this style, but it does give you the opportunity to bring a bedroom alive without any fuss or hassle. The basic principles are to use bold blocks of colour in geometric forms.

Start your project by painting the walls in a bold colour of your choice, to get the look right you mustn’t include any patterns. So that the room doesn’t become devoid of character make sure you include lots of different textures throughout. For example, keep the flooring plain, whether it be carpet or wood, and add a rug in a different colour and texture, this will also help to ground the design style. You can add pattern via the use of wall art and simple, yet stylish accessories such as bedside tables and lamps.

The same goes to your bedding, choose duvet cover sets which are playing rather than patterned – if you go for the reversible ones you be able to flip your duvet over to get another look in the room without any expense whatsoever! Plain, quilted bed throws and is cheap cushions are also a great way to add other blocks of colour and different textures to the room.

Don’t neglect your window dressing, that to needs to be in blocks of colour as well. Plain ready made curtains uk coordinated with a contrasting plain roller blind would be the ideal choice, especially if you opt for fine sheer voile curtains, as these will soften the edges without distracting from the blocks of colour.

Experimentation and trying new things is a great way to bring a whole new look to your bedrooms. These bright colour blocks are ideal for children – tots to teens – as well as for guest rooms or master bedrooms – giving you the opportunity to fill your bedrooms with lots of funky colours this year! Rooms this bright will automatically make you smile!

You’d love a fresh new look but just don’t know where to start or which style to go for – here at Terrys Fabrics we have an extensive range of stunning soft furnishings and accessories to transform your home without having to spend a fortune.

So without further ado let’s take a look at our first bedroom interior design idea to get you thinking!

‘Going global’ is an easy look to achieve, especially if you’ve been abroad on holiday and been inspired by the colours and patterns used in other countries. The great thing about ‘going global’ is you can choose anywhere in the world to get your ideas from, be it Africa, the Med or the Far East.

Use bright colours which compliment each other, for example Mediterranean blues, terracotta and sunflower yellows will bring a happy and cheery disposition to a bedroom. If you prefer more muted tones then cast your mind to Africa and the earthy tones and tribal prints which are prominent in this part of the world.

Simple changes, such as choosing a rug with a tribal print, cheap cushions and cheap duvet covers, can help to bring your ideas to life. Accessories with an appropriate theme will also have their place – especially those treasures that you’ve bought back from your travels.

Be brave and choose colour schemes which are new to you and your home – magnolia has its place, however by injecting a brighter tone your bedroom will look and feel refreshed, as well as stylish.

If you can’t decide which country to base your ideas around then why not go eclectic and mix styles from around the world – as long as they have a connection you’ll be able to get away with it!

Make this year a year for change by trying new and exciting ways to ‘go global’ and style your home.

Flooring:
Plain flooring is preferable as this will allow you to bring in patterns on the walls or soft furnishings without the fear of them clashing with each other. If you opt for a neutral coloured floor this will also allow you to re-decorate without the added expensive of having to but new fitted carpets. Plain floors will also give you the opportunity to use large rugs to help ground your décor and colour scheme.

Walls:
Light coloured plain walls can give the illusion of a larger space as well as enabling you to add colour as accents. If you wish to use wallpaper try and choose a small overall pattern with a light background as this won’t be too overwhelming in a small room. Lustre paint or shiny, reflective wallpapers are on-trend and are a superb way to help a room look and feel light and airy.

Lighting:
Make sure that the lighting isn’t too gloomy as this can make small rooms feel oppressive. Bedside table lamps are a ‘must’ – either one each side of a double bed or one placed in between twin beds. Look for lamp bases with a Chinese theme such as ceramic bases modelled on ginger or spice jars.

Furniture:
Black lacquered furniture is typically Chinese and offers a new look to a guest room. A faux four-poster styled bed can be made from wood and painted gloss black to compliment the cupboards.

Soft Furnishings:
Full length ready made curtains uk will add height to the room and exaggerate the size of the window. Black faux fur bed throws and cheap duvet covers bought in a bedding sale in jade green will give a look of luxury without costing a fortune.

Accessories:
Be selective with your accessories. Simple, yet stylish storage jars will add an oriental look, a mirror and easy chair is all you need to keep the room from becoming too cluttered.

Flooring:
It makes sense to have flooring which is water resistant. I’ve mentioned before that the days of having fitted carpet in your bathroom are long gone. Instead bathrooms have aqua-protection wood or laminate flooring, tiles or stone. No longer do bathrooms have matching three-piece mat sets, now they have one largish rug which are designed to be water tolerant and ooze style rather than water!

Walls:
Pain or tiles are the only really sensible options in bathrooms. Wallpaper has a tendency to peel or become water stained easily. For the latest looks try using slate tiles on your walls as well as your floor. Or use a textured surface wall tile to bring depth and contrast to the room. White remains the dominant colour for bathrooms, to incorporate this year’s ‘flowing water’ trend try painting or tiling one wall in a beautiful oceanic blue.

Lighting:
Overhead, central lighting may have it’s place in a more traditionally styled bathroom, however, for a modern and contemporary look try using spot lights and making the most of any natural light you have available.

Furniture:
White bathroom suites, with free standing baths are back in fashion. Storage is provided by vanity units or free standing shelving units. Many contemporary bathrooms are adopting the continental trend of having two hand basins – which look superb if you have the space.

Soft Furnishings:
Bathroom rugs and window dressings are the key items of soft furnishings in bathrooms. If you have a large bathroom an comfortable easy chair with cheap cushions adds to the spa experience trend. Bathrooms are also seeing a reversal of window treatments, and while blinds are still a favourite option, ready made curtains uk are also being used, particularly in bathrooms where the bath isn’t situated under the window.

Accessories:
To achieve the Black Water Dragon theme don’t forget that this year flowing water is a big trend – and what better place to display this than a bathroom. We’re not suggesting you leave the tap running as this wouldn’t be eco-friendly and would hike-up your water bill. However, you can get the look by incorporating greenery and wood where you can.

Flooring:
For practicalities tiles, wood (or wood laminate) or stone floors are ideal. To take away the coldness an elegant, yet functional kitchen rugs are ideal.

Walls:
Tiled walls are a great idea in kitchens as they can so easily be kept clean, while their reflective surfaces embraces the style beautifully. Use a combination of white painted walls with large areas of tiles on the wall above the work surfaces. Extend the tiles to more than the more typical two or three rows to give a more modern look.

Lighting:
Practical and functional are key when selecting kitchen lighting. Rather than fluorescent tubes spot lights are a good alternative and can be directed to make work areas lighter and potentially safer.

Furniture:
Wooden cupboards are a mainstay in Chinese design, however, we mustn’t forget that the Chinese love high-tech looks and red, so using red cupboards with a high gloss finish will tick many of this year’s interior design trends and provide a stunning kitchen which is practical to work in. Kitchen islands are also big in kitchen design, so if you have the space you should consider installing one. An island will also provide the advantage of friends and family having a place to stand or sit if you add stools to one side, and chat while a meal is being prepared.

Soft Furnishings:
In contemporary styles soft metal coloured aluminium kitchen blinds will compliment the high-tech look. They’ll also give you an abundance of natural light if you so wish, along with the possibility of restricting harsh sunlight from entering your kitchen and providing total privacy when needed – making them the ideal window dressing for any Chinese themed/styled kitchen.

Accessories:
This is where you can add all of those important finishing touches so that your kitchen reflects not only on shiny surfaces but also your own individuality and personality. Look for accessories which have a Chinese look about them – simple ginger jars make ideal storage jars, terracotta pots and jars will also be in keeping with the theme. Don’t forget to include a healthy foliage plant as this will not only bring another splash of natural colour to the room it will also highlight energy and growth.

Flooring:
As wood plays an important part in Chinese design, wooden flooring is an ideal choice for a bedroom. Use a mid tone colour to give style and warmth to the room. For creature comforts include a large pattern rug and rather than the more traditional UK bedroom style place the rug at the end of the bed rather than two smaller ones each side – unless you have tiled or a stone floor in which case the UK two small rugs either side of the bed may be more fitting to step onto as you get out of bed.

Walls:
Use natural materials and earth tone colours to get the look. Red bricks offer an up-beat loft apartment style which is bang on-trend this year. Other wise you can choose between plain painted walls in soft red hues or patterned wall paper with a Chinese theme, such as toile fabric with water gardens.

Lighting:
Soft, muted lighting is ideal for all styles of bedroom. Bedside table lamps are perfect for a traditional look while large floor lamps with bulbous ceramic bases provide a up-to-date approach to bedroom lighting.

Furniture:
The bed should be relatively plain and preferably wooden to get the look. Chests and trunks are ideal storage for clothes and shoes. If you have an untidy area, use a silk screen to ‘hide’ or disguise the mess! The bedroom should be clutter free to enable good Chi to flow correctly. You’ll also need to choose the position of your bed wisely as Feng Shui says that you shouldn’t be able to see out of the open door when lying in bed.

Soft Furnishings:
Red quilted bed throws and duvet cover sets in plain red or even black are ideal. If you want a pattern this year’s Black Water Dragon sees striped being used for bedding and throws.

Accessories:
Include cheap cushions as accessories and rather than placing them on the bed in a typical manner, use them on floor rugs to create a relaxed, calming and informal look.
