Decorating video: New monochrome bedroom
Style suggestion:
- Choose plain curtains when using patterned wallpaper. Opt for a heavy texture so they drape and add an opulent look to the windows.
Pick an eye-catching colour, choose mirrored furniture and a grand bed for elegance, then add glossy accessories to create a room with a modern look. Styled and presented by Robin Collingwood.

Step1: Walls
With a monochrome scheme, you can be daring in your use of pattern. As this wallpaper is mainly white, the pattern won’t overpower the room.
-
Step 2: Floors
Luxurious wool carpet is ideal for elegant bedrooms. This white texture lightens the entire space and softens the overall look.
-
Step 3: Furniture
Mirrored furniture in black and clear glass echoes the Art-Deco style of the wallpaper and adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to the room.
-
Step 4: Windows
Hot pink updates this scheme and provides a contrast to the smart monochrome. Decorate plain curtains using pretty ribbons for tie-backs.
-
Step 5: Accessories
Shiny black accessories complete the smart look. These vases are inexpensive, so display lots together for a dramatic effect.
