Bedroom of a stylist - part 1
Mountains of pillows, oceans of duvet, maybe even a forest of candles. We’ve all got our dream bedroom scenarios, but for our interior designer Emma, this is hers.
What’s a bedroom without dreaming a little? Emma’s bedroom design is all about triggering the senses and imagination — but without too much colour or intense patterns. “For me” she says, “my dream bedroom needs to be a tranquil space”.
To create a tranquil feeling, Emma started with hanging light textiles to create a softer light in the mornings and soft, sinkable feather duvets all in a calm white. She also added a white tiled wall to give a hard contrast from the soft textiles as well as make the perfect place to write inspirations from bed.
Another part that Emma was keen on was the scent of her dream bedroom.
“I am obsessed with smells. I think a lot about smells. All the time. This is commonly known among friends and family… I’d love a scent “station” in the bedroom, what better way to wake up than to the smell of fresh flowers and something perfumie like a scented candle or a diffuser in the one spot. Then you could adjust them to whatever your mood is.”
