Shaun Pentecost from Holmewood Interiors explains<br />
how to create the perfect bedroom retreat<br />
Abedroom is your private<br />
space. A place to unwind.<br />
A place to escape the hectic<br />
waves of modern life and<br />
importantly, a place to rest.<br />
The design and feel of your bedroom is<br />
therefore very personal to you, with the<br />
materials used and storage needs very<br />
specific for every individual. So, with the<br />
many, many possibilities for tailoring<br />
your space, just for you, some may<br />
surprise you…<br />
versatility of the designs and the many<br />
add-on features now available, can make<br />
it so much more than somewhere just to<br />
hide your clothes!<br />

Combine peace, comfort and<br />
interest<br />
One of the key bedroom design features<br />
that has come to the fore in <strong>2023</strong> is the<br />
use of textured design and materials. By<br />
layering a mix of finishes, you can add<br />
additional depth and interest to a room<br />
regardless of its size. Natural materials,<br />
organic and outwardly unprocessed<br />
finishes easily portray a peaceful comfort<br />
and balance; whilst the use of materials<br />
such as metal laminated boards are used<br />
to create a sleeker, minimalistic and more<br />
modern feel.<br />
However, textured finishes must not<br />
overpower your room. Instead, a<br />
variety of coverings for walls, doors and<br />
furnishings should work well as accent<br />
features that simply complement and<br />
enhance the room’s themes and style.<br />
Using timber with its different tones,<br />
natural imperfections and rich grains<br />
can also offer additional interest which<br />
combines with a tactile addition too.<br />
Fitted wardrobes<br />
The main design feature for a welcoming<br />
and organised bedroom space is a fitted<br />
wardrobe. Obvious in many ways, but the<br />
So are fitted wardrobes really<br />
worth it?<br />
I have to say yes! The biggest advantage of<br />
a customised fitted wardrobe is that it can<br />
be fully styled to fit your every need.<br />
Built to fit the exact dimensions of the<br />
space you have available, no area regardless<br />
of shape or size is wasted, maximising your<br />
storage space to the full. Start with the<br />
size, shape and main features; combine<br />
this with the materials used, finishes and<br />
colour, add storage features, hanging rails,<br />
shoe racks, drawers – maybe a TV point –<br />
and customise it to your specification.<br />
As an added bonus, the investment you<br />
make in a fitted wardrobe can increase<br />
the value of your home. A custom-built<br />
wardrobe is a very desirable feature for<br />
potential buyers.<br />
But how versatile can a fitted<br />
wardrobe really be?<br />
To be honest, some fitted wardrobe<br />
features you expect as standard. But<br />
