I have been a long time advocator of the fact that bedrooms should be a sanctuary; a restful retreat from everything else going on.
They should have minimal clutter & be a place you can truly unwind. Isn't one of the best feelings getting into a bed made with clean & crisp but soft sheets? When it comes to bedrooms, i worship at the alter of 'all white'. Since i was 17 i have only ever had white sheets & doona covers & a white waffle blanket. I find it a peaceful & restful colour to have in the bedroom...
My usual bedroom scene;
Recently though, i have been convinced to try something new! (As good as a holiday right?)
The lovely folk at
Adairs sent me over some of their gorgeous products to try that were both right up my alley (hello floral & chevron!!!)
This delivery inspired me to give the bedroom a little girly makeover; i framed the prints i bought in Paris for the bedside table & made a trip to the flower markets for some roses & peonies....
The sheets tied in really well with my all white scheme as for the most part they were hidden away & are a fun surprise when you turn the bed down to jump in! They are the
Mercer + Reid Stella Zig Zag sheets (& also come in a lovely pale aqua).
A fun way to incorporate some chevron into your decor!
So lovely - it has a gorgeous watercolour look to it, & I'm told was hand painted & then turned into the print.
And how fun does it look with the chevron sheets! I think the combo is really modern & so on trend at the moment!
It has really 'prettied' up the room & i admit, this 'all white worshipper' may have even been converted!
Wonder what the husband will think when he gets back from working in the country this week....
The whole new look even inspired me to makeover the bedside table!
My grandmother gave me the antique silver tray to put my jewels on which I'm in love with.
