The bedroom is where the day starts and ends, so it deserves proper thought, even on a budget. I’ve spent years experimenting in our own bedrooms, considering everything from paint colours and lighting to storage and styling, and I share all of it here.
Whether you’re after a full bedroom makeover, ideas for a guest room, or want to know how better design can mean a better night’s sleep, this category covers it. Expect honest, budget-conscious advice from someone who’s actually done the painting, the shopping and the furniture-moving at 10pm (with a begrudging husband in tow).

Did you know that on average we spend about a third of our lives in bed? Maybe even more, if you’re like me and have to fit in some zzzs at every chance. It doesn’t matter whether you’re taking a quick nap or calling it a night, you’re going to want to be comfortable. Needless…
I’ve always struggled to keep my wardrobe organised, and I think it’s a problem lots of people have. You might have clothes in there that are 10+ years old, clothes that don’t fit you any more, shoes you don’t wear (or can’t walk in) and more. We tend to collate a lot of stuff, and…
The bedroom is where you go to get away from it all; the anxiety, the noise, and everything else that occurs in our everyday lives. But sometimes, our bedroom can become a place for other things too, where we get ready, where we work from home (we’re all guilty of working in bed, right?), where…
Contents Sleep is something that we all need and yet sometimes it evades us. Is there anything worse than spending the night tossing and turning, unable to finally get some well-needed rest? We try avoiding caffeine before we go to bed, switching off electronic devices for the evening, reading for a while and drinking all…
We spend a lot of time in our bedrooms. It’s where we sleep, get ready in the morning, chill while on the phone with our girls and maybe even where you work (now we’re all working from home). This is why it’s so important to decorate your bedroom so that you LOVE it. Having a…
Since moving into our new home, I’ve become the paint queen. I don’t think there’s any surface or piece of furniture that can’t be improved with a lick of paint (though please don’t destroy any antiques by doing this…….) I love how the paint can take a sub-standard piece of furniture and turn it into…
Deciding your bedroom flooring isn’t always easy—there’s pros and cons for every type of floor—but I’m here to (hopefully) help you decide. This year, we’re hoping to renovate our two double bedrooms, which means picking out new wallpaper, paint, and deciding on our bedroom flooring. I’ve already created two mood boards for the bedroom here…
Navy blue and pink is a timeless colour pairing that feels both bold and inviting. The deep, calming tones of navy bring sophistication, while pink adds warmth and playfulness. Together, they strike the perfect balance between cosy and stylish, which is why you’ll find the combo in everything from downstairs bathrooms to kitchens, master bedrooms…
