Bedroom

A bedroom should be the place where you feel most relaxed—a place where you can truly let go after a busy day. Here are four different moods to inspire you as we enter the cooler months. Immerse yourself in seasonal colours, layers and textures and craft your own sanctuary.

Neutral

Keeping it calm and neutral, we’ve used hues of white, cream andivory with pops of timber and black to bring it all together. Layeredtextures of knit, cotton and linen give the bed a soft and inviting feel.
