Dusky purple bedroom

Cosy up your bedroom with dusky shades of purple, heather and grey. Soothing shades like these are perfect if you want a space to feel warm and relaxing.

Let a vintage-style floral print be the starting point for your scheme. The purple background colour of the duvet is the strongest shade used in the room — don't overuse it or the effect will be too garish.

Take your other colours from the floral print, with its muted shades of heather, lilac, grey and soft beige, and use these for walls, flooring and accessories: heather and grey painted walls, a lilac throw on the bed and soft beige carpet and chair.

Glass lamps hung low each side of the bed create subdued pools of light — perfect for a sleep-inducing scheme.
