Glamorous bedrooms on a budget

Sleep in style with these indulgent but affordable bedroom colour schemes.

“How do I create a luxurious bedroom without the luxury price tag?”

According to our exclusive global survey, 37% of homeowners say that the main bedroom is their top decorating priority when they move into a new home.

It’s no wonder our bedrooms are so important to us – we spend almost half of each day in them, after all. But bedrooms aren’t just a space for sleeping in. They’re also a sanctuary where we can go to relax and leave the cares of the day behind.

Luckily, you don’t need to spend a fortune on designer furniture and lavish fabrics to create a boutique hotel-style bedroom scheme. A lick of paint can be all it takes to transform a bedroom into a glamorous retreat.

Here’s how to get the look:
