There are other fabric layers that add to the soft, intimate feel of the room: draped throws on the bed over cream bed linen, and linen curtains layered with a linen blind, for blackout purposes. “We chose natural fabrics where we could,” Catherine says.

Consider a storage-packed sleep platform if height is tight ‘In a lot of these spaces, people will make the new space for sleeping, and a lot of estate agents would also focus on an extra bedroom,’ says Jamie. This can mean it’s worth looking at boxrooms in a new light – could you double the size of yours? ‘Anything over 3.5m is a dimension where you can have a half level and then a mezzanine,’ says Jamie. He suggests, as he’s done in a recent project, building cupboards and putting a sleep space on top. Here, a similar idea uses the bed’s new platform for drawers. It’s an idea that can also work in many open-plan living areas. ‘Psychologically, it will feel bigger, so you get the benefit of more space but at lower cost,’ Jamie says. The space may not be big enough to fit in new levels that allow standing space above and below, but you can still create valuable space. ‘It’s also a lot less upheaval than a loft conversion.’
