A statement headboard can completely transform a bedroom design project. The headboard adds scale and shape; frames the bed and adds the wow factor to the design. While upholstered headboards in complimentary fabrics to the window treatments are commonly used in interior design projects, the style, shape and texture of headboards are endless and limited only by our imagination.
I love how the designer has mixed old and new in this gorgeous cottage bedroom. I love everything about this room. The split level ceiling, the beds, the stools and the window shutters are just the cutest! And the bold graphic wall paper gives the room a modern twist.
If you are in the mood for updating your bedroom, here are some of my favourite bright and beautiful bedroom images to get you inspired.
Every parent knows that trying to decorate a child’s bedroom is a never ending saga. As soon as you have designed it with one theme, they will want something different. Their latest music or sports idol can change before the paint has even dried out! But fear not help is at hand. Read on and I’ll show you how to implement some clever and creative ways which will keep both your child and your wallet happy!
Apart from the bed, the bedside table is a must in any bedroom. It is one of the most hard working pieces of furniture. But why settle for the ordinary. Here are some of the most unusual and creative bed side tables which will be sure to brighten up any bedroom.
Here in Ireland one of the most popular ways to add space to your home is by converting the attic. Attic conversions make great use of unused existing space and are generally a lot less costly than adding on an extension.
This is the first post in my new of my Ask The Designer series. Ask me a question and I’ll do my best to answer it. Today’s question is from E in Tipperary who is looking for ideas for colour schemes for a babies nursery.
I’m designing a little girls room at the moment and while doing some online research (aka blog surfing) I’ve found some wonderful images along the way. Here’s just a few of my discoveries.
Hello and welcome to my Blog
My name is Karen Hughes and I'm an Interior Designer from Dublin, Ireland. I’m passionate about design and I started this blog as a way to connect with others just as passionate as myself. I tend to ramble on about all sorts of things, projects I’m working on, people, places and things that inspire me (and some that don’t). So put the kettle on, get comfy and settle in. I hope you enjoy your visit and don't forget to say hello. Visit my website to find out more about my services and view my work.Tweet Tweet
