One of the main things that really attracted me to our new house was the size of the main bedroom.
Coming from a small flat where our Queen bed basically touched the walls on both sides, just the idea of having more space to utilise in the bedroom felt like a dream. And the dream was going to be reality: the primary bedroom in the new house not only fit a Super King bed, but also had room to spare.
When we viewed the house, this was what the primary bedroom looked like:
You can get a sense of the space I’m talking about, but obviously the room itself was in need of a lot of love and care.
The vibe I wanted to go for was cosy, inviting, and feminine, heavy emphasis on the cosy. It also needed to be a place where I could relax beyond sleeping, so I was really keen to get a TV unit in there.
One thing it didn’t need to do was be a place for storage. The existing bedroom had tons of cupboards lining one wall, but because we had renovated one of the other bedrooms into a walk-in wardrobe, we just didn’t need a lot of storage in there.
This is how the bedroom turned out:
I went for a simple white colour scheme, with pops of pink and gold accents to give a feminine feel. The cosiness came from the textures we used – the Gubi Pacha lounge chair is the softest sheepskin, as well as the brand new carpet that feels so luxurious through your toes!
The media unit was a big element of the new room, as I love nothing more than curling up in bed and watching something. It also gave an opportunity to add some visual interest through the open shelving, and a overspill for my bag collection:
One last detail to highlight is some of the artwork that we added, with those lovely gold details, bringing more of the feminine feel into the room.
I’m so so so happy with how this turned out. It’s perfectly functional for my needs but emphasises cosiness and femininity above all. A huge improvement on what was there already, if I do say myself!
