Artistic Impressions
For those looking for a more bold bedroom statement,
this year also sees a resurgence in art-inspired
bedrooms.
Sweetpea & Willow have coined this the new 20’s
with a resurgence of classic Art Deco styles given
new leases of life. Expect to see “Feminine and fun,
early century curves, scallops and scales”, in
headboard designs, furniture and wallpapers. Willow
& Hall expect to see the contrasting colour
combination of pastel and deep tones continuing to
be a big presence. So don’t be afraid to go bold in
your colour pairings. Whilst MissPrint are urging us
to go bold with artistic, statement wallpapers to
bring, colour, warmth and escapism into your
bedroom.
But why confine art to the walls? Make your bed
your ultimate canvas with bold prints, striking colours
and statement accessories. “An art bed is the ultimate
showstopper, so it’s essential to let it be the hero of
the room. Keep everything else pared back and
styled simply to allow the beauty of the Art Bed to
be the main focal point.” say Lara Hutton, interior
stylist at Sheridan.

To make an Art Bed work in your home Lara advises:
• Style with pared back refined pieces such as a
simple bedside table or minimalistic lamp.
• Keep the walls plain - this is a subtle background
element to your statement bed.
• Opt for simplistic accompanying artworks - line
drawing will work best and ensure there is no visual
confusion.
• Select a block coloured cushion and throw, to bring
a delicate balance.
• Finalise with texture.
