Industrial indigo bedroom

Be bold - drench your room in indigo blue. A saturated scheme requires some pluck, but the effect is so dramatic, it's well worth taking the plunge.

Choose a deep shade of dark blue for the walls, then paint the skirting boards to match and go for a carpet in the same shade for an inky scheme that's ultra-chic.

A grey upholstered bed is perfect for a luxury look, and go for crisp white bed linen that has a blue border or stripe. Keep furniture sleek and smart ? for example, shop for high-gloss side tables instead of traditional bedside cabinets - and dress the room with navy accessories with sexy silhouettes.

Hang industrial lighting for the final finishing touch to this contemporary scheme. Look for bare light bulbs, and hang them in a cluster for a statement focal point.
