A grown-up and glamorous bedroom

A blue and chocolate combination with silk, satin and textured fabrics.

Create an exotic mood with rich, dark colours and shimmery opulent fabrics.

How to get the look

Paper one feature wall in a striking, shimmering design and give the room an Eastern slant with dark, masculine furniture.

Arranging larger pieces, such as a dark-wood wardrobe, on the other side of the room from a dramatic feature wall creates a sense of balance.

Make it a relaxing zone. Whether you like late nights or lie-ins, create a luxury music, TV and DVD media centre at the end of the bed.

Keep it simple with blinds. Do away with fussy curtains and hang wide slatted Venetian blinds in a rich chocolate colour. They'll control the light, but give a streamlined finish.

Create a sultry mood. Opt for metallic pouffes instead of side tables – they'll give the room a laid-back, exotic mood.
