I love decorating bedrooms, in particular master bedrooms. Let’s face it, they are the most important rooms in our homes – it’s where you start and end your day, curl up with a book, and connect with your partner. The state of your space can profoundly affect your mood and how well you drift off to sleep and how you rise to face the day.

Unfortunately, bedrooms are often the most forgotten, passed over rooms! It’s often thought – since no one is going to see it, why bother! Why bother? Because you deserve a beautiful, relaxing space to wind down and start the day in! I’m reminded of that IKEA commercial, where the homeowners intentionally keep their bedroom doors open while entertaining to show off their spectacular space. We should all have a space we’re that proud of.

When I get to do a bedroom for a client, I love creating a truly special, sanctuary-like space. This can be achieved while still keeping the space fun, with injections of your personality and story. There are however some rules I like to follow.

There are so many aspects of design and decor I love, but a definite front runner is creating Gallery Walls.  I love curating a variety of artwork, diverse frames, and whatever else peaks my interest in unique and creative ways.

Most of the time I have a jumping off point, something that has inspired me – my muse if you will.  And then the story develops from there – I like to think of my walls as story tellers – the love of travel, good food, family, connection, colour, creativity, etc.
