For this bedroom and ensuite shower room in a modern house, we chose teal blue; a soothing, relaxing colour so ideal for a bedroom.

Adding warm-toned dark wood furniture in a classic style gives the compact room character.

A comfortable feel is created by layering tactile fabrics; crisp linens with luxurious velvet and silk cushions on the bed, soft carpet underfoot and warm, blackout-lined curtains at the window.

Layered lighting adds softness and practicality and photographs of Richmond Park, where my client loves to walk, introduce a personal touch.
