Fruitful Homes

OUR CLIENTS HAD SOME VERY CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS COTTAGE RESTORATION – THE BUDGET WAS STRICT, IT NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY SELF CONTAINED AND SUITABLE FOR BNB GUESTS AND THEY WANTED IT TO FEEL “MORE OPEN”. THE STONE FEATURES OF THE ORIGINAL 1800’S BUILDING WERE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. THIS COUPLED WITH THE PROPERTY IT WAS BUILT ON CREATED ALL THE INSPIRATION WE NEEDED TO FULFIL THE BRIEF. IN THE MAIN LIVING AREA WE OPENED UP THE SPACE WITH GABLED CEILINGS CREATING A BEAUTIFUL ENTRANCE AND EXTRA ROOM FOR STORAGE ACCESSIBLE VIA LIBRARY LADDERS . WE ADOPTED A WHITE COLOUR SCHEME FOR THE WALLS AND CEILING TO MAKE SUCH A SMALL SPACE FEEL AS ROOMY AND BRIGHT AS POSSIBLE AND AS A STARK CONTRAST TO THE ORIGINAL STONE AND SLATE FLOORS. WE ALSO ENCLOSED A VERANDAH ON THE BACK OF THE 2 ROOM COTTAGE TO FULFIL THE “SELF CONTAINED” REQUIREMENT MAKING ROOM FOR A SMALL BATHROOM AND KITCHEN. WHILST WE HAVE ADOPTED A ‘COUNTRY COTTAGE’ FEEL, THE SPACE IS A BLEND OF BOTH VINTAGE AND MODERN DECOR.

Browse Our Photo Gallery for Bedroom Ideas

If you’re looking for decorating ideas for your bedroom, you’ve come to the right place. At Houzz you can browse a large image gallery of inspiration for your bedroom. Whether you’re deciding on which paint colour goes with which floors, how to style a master or guest bedroom or how to make a bedroom appropriate for teenagers, you’re sure to find pictures that’ll inspire you, as well as professionals such as interior designers and storage designers to help you turn your ideas into reality. Here’s a few more points to keep in mind.

How to Decorate a Bedroom

The bedroom is usually quite a simple room. The design and layout is far less complicated than a kitchen or bathroom, so you can put a lot of focus on the decoration, style and colours you’re using. Start by thinking about who will be using the bedroom. Is it you alone? With your partner? Your teenage children? That’ll set the tone for your style.

Choosing a Bedroom Style

Next, think about what mood you want to evoke. Do you have trouble sleeping? Maybe opt for a calming blue. Do you want to set the mood for romance with your partner? Fuller, darker colours may be a better match then. Consider if you want to have a TV in your bedroom. If yes, do you want it on display or hidden? Or maybe you want to have a little office within your bedroom? You may be better off styling with neutral colours, but putting emphasis on the right inspiring artwork. In that case, you may also need to think of smart storage solutions so you can keep your workspace tidy and not let it interfere with your sleep. Have a browse through our images to get a feel for what appeals to you, and don’t forget to pay attention to lighting as well.

The Elements of a Bedroom

There’s a few things that are key to how you feel when you walk into your bedroom - mainly it comes down to floors, walls, furniture and decoration. If you’re renting you may not be able to touch the floors or walls and will have to work with what you have. If it’s your own house however, you may be wondering which colour to paint the walls so they go with your floors, or so you can make a small bedroom appear bigger. Pay attention to these elements in the photos. Once the basics are in place, decorating is where the fun begins. Choose a feature to be the focus of your room. That can be a beautifully upholstered headboard, a fancy mirror, a few indoor plants, or simple and clean white bedding combined with a fluffy rug. Once you are ready to hire a professional to help, jump onto the Houzz directory. No matter where you are, you're going to find the right expert to help. Whether you're looking for a Home Stylist in Melbourne or a Cabinet Maker in Sydney, you will find what you are looking for and need for your bedroom renovation project.
