Ready for some pillow talk? Drift off into dreamland with the latest bedroom trends.

French flair

X-factor: Fluid curves and contemporary glamour
The colour palette: Soft greys, cool whites and warm camel hues
The look: Grounded by herringbone parquet flooring, this luxurious, serene space is filled with plush bedding, lavish fabrics and opulent accents. The deep-button headboard covered in a subtle grey fabric adds a touch of plush style, while an oversized mirror plays its part in filling the room with natural light.
Style steal: Suspend a modern chandelier above your bed as a luminous focal point.
Break the rules: The bed is positioned directly in front of the bay window, creating the illusion that the curtains form part of the bed.

Introduce a touch of Monet to your bedroom with scatters in a soft, feminine watercolour motif.

Opt for an all-white palette with touches of wicker and woven accents for a contemporary take on French-countryside charm.

Vertical interest
X-factor: A striking focal wall
The colour palette: An exotic ensemble of mid-tone blues, greens and yellows
The look: Nothing makes a style statement quite like a focal wall. Patterned wallpaper is the perfect antidote to a drab bedroom. Here, Beldi – Deep jungle wallpaper from the Cape to Casablanca collection by Hertex sets the scene for a calm, yet alluring space. The Moroccan-goes-modern look is bang on trend.
Style steal: Create a stylish look by adding a monotone scatter or throw in a similar colourway. Or match your bedding and wallpaper for a pulled-together look.
Break the rules: Opt for a low headboard so that the wallpaper takes centre stage.

Craft an artistic look by loosely propping an oversized painting against a rustic wall.

Soft waves of Bondi blue are the epitome of cool serenity. Immerse yourself in an ocean-inspired dream zone by painting a focal wall in a Caribbean-blue hue.

An off-shutter concrete wall is the ideal counterpart for cutting edge design and fine craftsmanship.
