  • Slide 36 of 66: It's hard to go wrong with a gallery wall. However, a secure picture ledge will frame the bed with a linear twist. Overlap the frames and restrict color palette to two or three key hues, for a cohesive feel.

  • Slide 42 of 66: So simple and so effective, you can finish this easy paint effect in just a few hours. The effect is easily achieved by simply rolling halfway up the wall behind the bed, with a narrow roller, creating a rough line. As the design itself is quite dramatic, it is best to soften with a light shade, such as this pretty pink.

  • Slide 43 of 66: If you live in a Victorian property then you'll likely already be blessed with fireplaces in your upstairs bedrooms. If they've been boarded up, then reinstate them. Don't fancy a wood or coal burning fire, then choose an electric model instead. It's all about creating a mood and the gentle flicker and glow from a faux fire will do just that.

  • Slide 44 of 66: A neutral room with a bold bed makes a striking statement. Choose any color you like as the aim here is to offset a light backdrop by injecting a splash of color with the bedstead. It is fun and adds a cheerful glow to the room, especially if you go for a happy yellow shade.

  • Slide 45 of 66: Teak furniture, lavish house plants and a cool color palette all bring a contemporary twist to mid-century style.

Find vintage pieces, such as an old radio, to add an element of the past into the present.

  • Slide 46 of 66: Create a dramatic showstopping feature with an oversized wall mural. If you're artistic, you could paint a large mural featuring flowers and wildlife by hand, but if not, simply hang one that has been sized to fit.

  • Slide 47 of 66: Who said you have to paint the entire wall the same color? No-one! Throw the rulebook away and have some fun with wall emulsion.

  • Slide 48 of 66: Give a hotel-like scheme a modern twist by using an orange, pink and white color palette that screams exuberance. Stylish, sophisticated and extremely comfortable, this look is perfect for the master bedroom. Yellow gold accents in the modern bedside lighting, ceiling pendant and wall-hung mirror tie the look together.

  • Slide 49 of 66: Space and stars is not just for children. Give your master bedroom a makeover and bring in touches of the galaxy with a stylish scheme like this. Dark, moody colors combined with a moon-like feature wallpaper sets the backdrop that you can dress with starry details and framed cosmic prints.

  • Slide 50 of 66: If you have a small room but want to make an impact, choose a bed with a large, oversized headboard. It is a statement in itself and works well even in the most average-sized room. A textured leather style in classic brown looks wonderful against a gray wall and dressed in crisp white bedding.

  • Slide 51 of 66: Pink and gray is such a striking combination and looks even better when layered with a rich purple hue. The focal point here is the sleigh bed so choose a modern gray, upholstered design and dress in bubble gum pink plain bedding. Touches of aquamarine and rose red elevates the look further. Choose a lightweight side table so not to overpower the bed.

  • Slide 52 of 66: If you live in a lofty New York-style home then you may already benefit from large Crittall-like windows. Let them take center stage by leaving them bare without any dressing whatsoever – they're the main attraction here. Position your bed slightly forward and complement with a grid-like bedspread. Don't forget an eye mask to help you sleep! 

  • Slide 53 of 66: Go for a totally rustic look with bare brick walls and exposed beams and woodwork. This style is akin to a barn in the south of France and perhaps not so common here, but can be replicated nonetheless. Brick wallpaper is a great starting point, and bare floorboards and imitation beams are easy to fix into place. For finishing touches, add dried foliage, a ladder shelf and knitted throws.

  • Slide 54 of 66: Bring a touch of the outdoors inside with a wall covered in bark tiles. Easy to pop into position, they add a textured tactile finish to the bedroom space and look especially wonderful when the room is decorated with modern furnishings. A contemporary bed, industrial-style bedside tables and bright colors makes this a statement look.

  • Slide 55 of 66: Burnt yellows are becoming an increasingly popular choice for interiors. Their muted tone makes them more suited to a restful bedroom scheme than sunshine yellow, and they pair beautifully with burnished metals for a luxurious look.

  • Slide 56 of 66: Neutral tones bring a sense of calm and peace that's perfect for a bedroom scheme. Layer up different shades and textures – from woolen fabrics to natural wood – to keep the room feeling cozy rather than flat.

  • Slide 57 of 66: Up your design credentials in an instant by combining key pieces from different styles and eras. Here, a contemporary side table sits in elegant contrast to a rustic bench, while the fabrics on the bed include a blend of modern prints and relaxed linens. Go for 70% in one style and 30% in the other to ensure the look feels harmonious.

  • Slide 58 of 66: Coastal style doesn't have to incorporate nautical accessories. A more subtle nod to a seaside setting can be achieved with lime-washed floorboards, jute accessories and a wood-paneled ceiling. Take your cue for the color palette from the soft, neutral tones of a pebble beach.

  • Slide 59 of 66: Ombré paint effects are an elegant way to work bright hues into a bedroom without overpowering the space. The easiest way to get an even look is to dilute a darker color into a variety of lighter shades using white paint. Separate your wall into a minimum of three horizontal sections, roll on the paint starting with the darkest shade at the bottom then blend the boundaries using a paintbrush while the paint is still wet.

  • Slide 60 of 66: Make a statement with a bed you can not ignore. A contemporary wood four-poster design will still add that special something to your bedroom scheme. Drape a light voile across the top of the frame for an update on traditional bed curtains.

  • Slide 61 of 66: This simple but striking wall pattern has been created using nothing but paint – an affordable way to make a statement in your bedroom. If that sounds a bit too labor intensive, you could get a similar look using a grid wallpaper. 

  • Slide 62 of 66: Make your bedroom a fun space by introducing lots of block color. Go for a bold blue on the wall and dress the bed with lots of bright cushions, all in different colors. Carve in space for a desk for a stylish working from home area.

  • Slide 63 of 66: If you like the idea of pattern in your bedroom but prefer to stick to soothing tones, go for a statement wallpaper in neutral colors. Keep things calm by restricting pattern in the rest of the scheme and introducing only low-intensity hues, such as the soft grays shown here.

  • Slide 64 of 66: Embrace the raw texture of warehouse-space walls by leaving them bare. Their stark beauty contrasts strikingly with warm metals and eye-popping accent colors. If you don't have brick or concrete walls, you can get the look with textured wallpaper or by painting surfaces with a thin layer of micro concrete.

  • Slide 65 of 66: If you're short on space, try hanging decorative pendants as bedside lights. This not only adds a designerly touch to your bedroom scheme, but will save valuable bedside table space, too.

  • Slide 66 of 66: Neon lighting is another great choice for a bedroom. A bespoke piece will make a quirky, contemporary addition to your scheme as well as providing extra mood lighting when the overhead lights are switched off. Love this? See inside these amazing celebrity bedrooms

Magical murals

Create a dramatic showstopping feature with an oversized wall mural. If you're artistic, you could paint a large mural featuring flowers and wildlife by hand, but if not, simply hang one that has been sized to fit.

Painted feature

Who said you have to paint the entire wall the same color? No-one! Throw the rulebook away and have some fun with wall emulsion. Here, four colors have been used with each area a different shade. Plus, a feature area has been created by painting a (not perfect) circle in the center, framing a set of lightweight shelves.

Boudoir chic

Give a hotel-like scheme a modern twist by using an orange, pink and white color palette that screams exuberance. Stylish, sophisticated and extremely comfortable, this look is perfect for the master bedroom. Yellow gold accents in the modern bedside lighting, ceiling pendant and wall-hung mirror tie the look together.

Cosmic skies

Space and stars is not just for children. Give your master bedroom a makeover and bring in touches of the galaxy with a stylish scheme like this. Dark, moody colors combined with a moon-like feature wallpaper sets the backdrop that you can dress with starry details and framed cosmic prints.

Leather luxury

If you have a small room but want to make an impact, choose a bed with a large, oversized headboard. It is a statement in itself and works well even in the most average-sized room. A textured leather style in classic brown looks wonderful against a gray wall and dressed in crisp white bedding.

Modern sorbet

Pink and gray is such a striking combination and looks even better when layered with a rich purple hue. The focal point here is the sleigh bed so choose a modern gray, upholstered design and dress in bubble gum pink plain bedding. Touches of aquamarine and rose red elevates the look further. Choose a lightweight side table so not to overpower the bed.

Industrial details

If you live in a lofty New York-style home then you may already benefit from large Crittall-like windows. Let them take center stage by leaving them bare without any dressing whatsoever – they're the main attraction here. Position your bed slightly forward and complement with a grid-like bedspread. Don't forget an eye mask to help you sleep!

Brick works

Go for a totally rustic look with bare brick walls and exposed beams and woodwork. This style is akin to a barn in the south of France and perhaps not so common here, but can be replicated nonetheless. Brick wallpaper is a great starting point, and bare floorboards and imitation beams are easy to fix into place. For finishing touches, add dried foliage, a ladder shelf and knitted throws.

Wooden tiles

Bring a touch of the outdoors inside with a wall covered in bark tiles. Easy to pop into position, they add a textured tactile finish to the bedroom space and look especially wonderful when the room is decorated with modern furnishings. A contemporary bed, industrial-style bedside tables and bright colors makes this a statement look.

Burnished gold

Burnt yellows are becoming an increasingly popular choice for interiors. Their muted tone makes them more suited to a restful bedroom scheme than sunshine yellow, and they pair beautifully with burnished metals for a luxurious look.

Cozy neutrals

Neutral tones bring a sense of calm and peace that's perfect for a bedroom scheme. Layer up different shades and textures – from woolen fabrics to natural wood – to keep the room feeling cozy rather than flat.

Modern rustic

Up your design credentials in an instant by combining key pieces from different styles and eras. Here, a contemporary side table sits in elegant contrast to a rustic bench, while the fabrics on the bed include a blend of modern prints and relaxed linens. Go for 70% in one style and 30% in the other to ensure the look feels harmonious.

Coastal comfort

Coastal style doesn't have to incorporate nautical accessories. A more subtle nod to a seaside setting can be achieved with lime-washed floorboards, jute accessories and a wood-paneled ceiling. Take your cue for the color palette from the soft, neutral tones of a pebble beach.

Lighten the tone

Ombré paint effects are an elegant way to work bright hues into a bedroom without overpowering the space. The easiest way to get an even look is to dilute a darker color into a variety of lighter shades using white paint. Separate your wall into a minimum of three horizontal sections, roll on the paint starting with the darkest shade at the bottom then blend the boundaries using a paintbrush while the paint is still wet.

Wooden wonder

Make a statement with a bed you can not ignore. A contemporary wood four-poster design will still add that special something to your bedroom scheme. Drape a light voile across the top of the frame for an update on traditional bed curtains.

Graphic display

This simple but striking wall pattern has been created using nothing but paint – an affordable way to make a statement in your bedroom. If that sounds a bit too labor intensive, you could get a similar look using a grid wallpaper.

Block colors

Make your bedroom a fun space by introducing lots of block color. Go for a bold blue on the wall and dress the bed with lots of bright cushions, all in different colors. Carve in space for a desk for a stylish working from home area.

Subdued statement wall

If you like the idea of pattern in your bedroom but prefer to stick to soothing tones, go for a statement wallpaper in neutral colors. Keep things calm by restricting pattern in the rest of the scheme and introducing only low-intensity hues, such as the soft grays shown here.

Urban texture

Embrace the raw texture of warehouse-space walls by leaving them bare. Their stark beauty contrasts strikingly with warm metals and eye-popping accent colors. If you don't have brick or concrete walls, you can get the look with textured wallpaper or by painting surfaces with a thin layer of micro concrete.

Pairs of pendants

If you're short on space, try hanging decorative pendants as bedside lights. This not only adds a designerly touch to your bedroom scheme, but will save valuable bedside table space, too.

Neon lighting

Neon lighting is another great choice for a bedroom. A bespoke piece will make a quirky, contemporary addition to your scheme as well as providing extra mood lighting when the overhead lights are switched off.
