17 Favourite / key aspect of the project The second bedroom was not the most light filled in the apartment so we felt that the best solution was to create a cosy and atmospheric room and try to work with the light levels, so we decorated in moody charcoal grey and dark neutral tones, accented with gold detailing and a black feather Juju hat provides a playful feature above the bed. We also found the perfect retro antique mirror with an illustration of a Chanel perfume bottle from Portobello market that completed the room perfectly. The third bedroom was inspired by the clients’ own very traditional oil painting that had a real retro feel. We took these colours as our inspiration and created a vintage style bedroom with silver grey walls, 1950’s style bedsides in a French grey green, paisley Andrew Martin cushions and textured velvet quilt accents the bed, creating a very serene and peaceful retreat.
