Hotel chic

Three ways to create a striking headboard

Hotel chic
A broad screen, covered in a smart grasscloth paper and finished with studs, creates an inviting enclosure around the bed, complete with reading lamps and built-in shelves in walnut. The bed is dressed symmetrically but kept snug with soft blankets and throws, and some plump boudoir cushions. A long ottoman at the foot of the bed keeps the feeling of space in this crisp, tailored scheme.

How to make it work
• Cover a custom-made MDF screen with a striking wallpaper and trim the front edges with upholstery studs or braid so the piece feels finished. Shelves in walnut are a smart, practical touch.
• Choose neat, jointed wall-mounted reading lights to maximise the space.
• Layer luxurious bedding and linens to create a snug, welcoming retreat.
