Freshen up your bedroom with green and teal

Freshen up your bedroom with this season’s oversized flower prints in pale pistachio, cool teal and fresh white.

Love this bedroom

Break up the wall behind the bed with a painted peg rail and shelf about two thirds up. Paper above the rail and paint below it in a co-ordinating shade.

Pick a matching fabric from the same range as the wallpaper, but in an alternative colour, and use it to make a scatter cushion for the bed.

A pale putty carpet in soft wool creates a light and luxurious feel in a bedroom.

Metal trunks at the end of the bed are perfect for storing shoes, accessories or even your hairdryer, out of sight.

Good Idea

Don’t be afraid to mix patterns; as long as the colour palette is the same it will work, and the end result is a confident-looking scheme.

Styling Tips

Add texture and colour to white bed linen with a trio of knitted throws in shades picked out from your wallpaper design.

Teaming wallpaper with painted walls in a tonal colour is a great way of using a bold design without it dominating the room.

Perfect Contrast

With such a bold pattern on the walls and curtains, keep large pieces of furniture white so as not to distract. Add a barely there contemporary wirework chair.

Pretty Practical

As well as creating a focal point, a peg rail with shelf gives you the perfect spot on which to display and hang treasured pieces.

Finishing Touches

Little details give your room character; a ceramic bird perched on a lampshade, a posy of spring blooms on the bedside table and bold cushions all finish this.
