layering various soft, easy textures.
Layering a bedroom with softness and
quality can increase positive energy.
Speaking of layers, the experts
are seeing an inclination toward
more dimension and depth through
accessorised colour. Think interesting art
pieces, varied lighting and throw cushions
in jewel tones.
The simplest way to add layered depth
to a bedroom is starting with the star
feature: the bed. No piece of bedroom
furniture or décor will ever be more

This is where storage beds come in.
A daybed is another favourite
contemporary bed. It is perfect for a guest
room, TV room or teen’s bedroom.
Headboards are once again becoming
popular, with big, bold shapes in bright
colours and patterned fabrics being a go
to choice.

Lying in bed and can’t get comfortable?
One of the vital details in our bedroom
we often forget about is the mattress.
Getting the right mattress can mean an
increase in comfort, durability and the
overall aesthetic of the room.
