The bedroom is one of the most important areas of your house. It should be a peaceful area where you can relax, and get ready for sleep.

It can be tricky picking your paint colours for this room, so we’ve used some example bedroom settings and listed the paint colours you would need to re-create the look.

Ikea have some great bedroom furniture, and this example will appeal to both men and women with a mix of masculine strong colours, pale accessories and soft dusky lilac.

I’m impressed with the Victoria and Albert Museum site, which has some nice examples of décor from periods though the ages.

I’ve picked out my favourite, with the paints and textiles that you can use if you fancy re-creating the look in your own home.

Recreate this look with the very striking Polar Blue paint or Sky Blue, mahogany wood stain, and gold leaf or ornate gold accessories.
