A Little Piece of You

This is a little room that came to mind the other week when searching for new companies to blog about.  Bluebellgray have some beautiful products with simply gorgeous designs.  As well as previous designs featured in the blog, the following pattern really made me smile.  I can't see a pattern like this without it reminding me of my mum.  So appropriately so as today is Mothering Sunday I figured this was the best day to be inspired by Mum.

We all have those days, when we just need our own little space, to switch off and let it be about us.  When I lived at home that space for me was always my bedroom, and my parents room was always called Mum's room, so for this space we are going to look at a bedroom.

Clear the decks, declutter and allow yourself that space that is your own.

White walls, and a neutral flooring, are my usual starting point, I want that soothing, cool feeling that those soft neutral; tones can bring.  However if the bright white is too harsh for you, look at adding a feature wall, or go for it with Sanderson's Blue Moon paint.  Remember a feature wall doesn't have to be the usual wall behind the bed, consider it at the window if you have a great view to look at it will draw your eye there, or how about the wall facing the bed if you have a dressing table here with photos or a collection of your personal nik-naks, it's a beautiful back drop for them.

The Willow fabric from Bluebellgray is available in fabric panels of 137cm x 340cm (these are fixed sizes), in metre lengths from 1metre (minimum order).  So a couple of fabric panels for the curtains is ideal for this. 

 

They also do a perfectly matching cushion, so do pick up a couple of these lovelies to sort out the bedding.  Keep the rest of the bedding crisp white and with some plain blue cushions behind these to give that showhome look.  Dress the end of the bedding with a soft throw to add those luxury layers and something you can wrap round your shoulders in the evening chill.  Check out Oscar & Eve for their soft mohair throw.

Keep the accessories of the room simple, sometimes it's great to fill a space and keep the eye interested, but when looking for a calmer space just allow key pieces such as this fabric to be focus.  A few favourite photos by the dressing table, either leaning against the wall or in a salon style arrangement (lots of photos together to create another focal point).  See the way Rose & Grey have theirs (also great frames by the way).

Add a little dish to the bedside table dressing table for you jewellery or loose change at the end of the day.  I love this Chinese Blue & White ceramic pot from West Egg.

Enjoy your day and enjoy some down time to yourself.
