A pretty mint bedroom

Team soft mint and blossom pink, with crisp linen for a fresh summery feel.

Heres how to get the look

Choose pretty pastel colours

Use mint green on the walls and co-ordinate with pastel-toned curtains. The crisp white linen will keep it from looking dated and will give an illusion of space.

Give the room a feminine touch

Hang lacy voiles by the windows and over the bed – they'll catch the breeze and make the room feel light and airy.

Add a floral theme

Bring the fragrance of summer into your bedroom by adding real flowers in assorted glass vases and bottles. Complete the look with a simple floral canvas print.

Drape your bed in soft fabrics

Combine a pretty floral canopy with a soft throw and vintage cushions for a romantic feel.
