Bedroom style update

Follow our 5 top tips to give your bedroom an instant lift

Create an instant bed head This idea is easy – a row of cushions looks smart, stands out against the painted wall and makes a comfy head rest.

Hang wall art Three frames placed in a row above the bed create a fabulous focal point. Try using patterned gift wrap in a deeper colour to the wall – it will look as glamorous as any pictures would.

Paint a feature wall A panel of colour, 10cm wider than the bed each side, defines the bed area and draws the eye in.

Choose colourful bed linen Two lilac pillowcases and a throw break up the white bedding and match the painted wall panel.

Add his and hers bowls Clutter is banished from the bedside tables with 'his and hers' bowls at the end of the bed – perfect for emptying your pockets into.
