The Most Personal Room in Your Home

Hi,

I’m so thrilled to share that my brand new Bedroom Course has just launched! After the wonderful success of my Living Room Course, and so many of you asking, “When are you doing the bedroom next?”, this felt like the perfect time.

Bedrooms came in a close second when I asked which spaces you wanted help with, and I completely understand why. It’s the most personal room in your home, the one you design entirely for you.

The new course has been built to work hand-in-hand with the Living Room one. Each is unique, tailored to its space, but they form a beautiful harmony together. I’ve included guided videos, lots of colour-drenched inspiration, and worksheets to help you design your bedroom with confidence and clarity.

Why the bedroom matters so much

When I’m doing colour consultations, the bedroom is the room that tells me who someone really is. Living rooms and kitchens are social; we decorate them, even subconsciously, for the outside world. But a bedroom? That’s your sanctuary. It’s where you get to exhale, where your personality shines quietly through your choices.

I always say that the bedroom is where the guards come down. You see pure taste, not what people think they “should” like, but what they actually love.

A colour-drenched reminder

I stayed with a friend in Bath recently, and all her bedrooms were colour-drenched, and it was simply spectacular. The walls, skirting, even the doors were all wrapped in soft, enveloping tones. The result? So calm. So restful.

There was very little contrast, so your eye didn’t need to dart around the space. You just settled into it. Bedrooms designed this way don’t shout; they whisper. They coax you to slow down.

It’s a lovely reminder that decorating isn’t just about colour choice, it’s about how you apply it.

When you’re lying in bed, think about what you’re actually looking at: the ceiling! Your fifth wall. Don’t forget it. A painted ceiling can make a room feel cocooned, nurturing, and complete.

Start with how you use the space

Before you even think about paint colours, get honest about how you live in this room. Do you like quiet mornings with coffee in bed? Are you up early getting ready with natural light? Do you retreat here during the day for downtime, or is it purely a place to sleep?

There’s no right answer, and definitely no judgment. The key is knowing your rhythm, because how you use the space completely shapes the atmosphere you’ll want to create.

Now think about the feeling

This is where colour really works its magic.

Light and airy

If you love a soft, spacious feeling, go for light neutrals: beige, greige, taupe, plastery pinks, gentle blues and sage greens. These tones feel clean, open, and easy on the eye. They thrive in a colour-drenched scheme, where the skirting and walls melt together.

Warm and cosy

If you want something that hugs you, mid-tones are your friend, olive, teal, dusky earthy pinks or muted yellows paired with warm neutrals. They anchor the space without feeling heavy. Add in textures, patterned throws, woven lampshades, and cushions to build that lovely layered comfort.

Dark and moody

My personal favourite for bedrooms. Think deep green, midnight blue, aubergine, or even a smoky chocolate brown. These enveloping shades signal the brain to slow down and prepare for rest. Use them across the full height of your walls (yes, even the ceiling!) or explore tonal colour capping for depth and interest.

Your bedroom, your true colours

Of all the rooms in your home, this is the one that should reflect you at your most honest. It doesn’t matter whether that means calming neutrals or a rich plum sanctuary; what matters is how it feels when you walk in at the end of the day.

The right colours don’t just change a room; they change how you feel in it. And that’s what I love most about this work, helping you find your palette, your calm, your way.

If you’d like to go deeper, explore my new Bedroom Course; it’s packed with video tutorials, examples from real spaces, and worksheets to guide you through your own design process. I can’t wait to see what you create.

With love,
