The Sapphire room

Hello Everyone! I am so excited to show you my latest room revamp! My client wanted a beautiful nesting space, and this south facing bedroom with a gorgeous woodland view was the perfect place to create such a retreat. I encouraged my client to go bold and dark, creating a beautiful intimate space that is cosy and feminine.
 
Our kick off inspiration image was the following. We loved the layered look, the inky walls and the softer pinks and colours that inject energy into the room with the brass and gold details. Lovely right!? I cant seem to find the original designer of this space, so if anyone knows who it is please let me know. They clearly deserve all the credit.
 

Now you need to see how the room was before we started this process. So it was a very neutral magnolia with some mismatched furniture handed down from previous homes and spaces. As you can see we had already bought the tester pot and were checking the colour in the room to make sure we were happy. We checked it against the fabrics that we were thinking of using and it sat so beautifully. 

Our mood board started off like this with a gradual evolution finding the correct pieces for the space and a few re-considerations. We moved on from the plain curtains to introduce some pattern. Also leapfrogged over the white sheets for something a little bolder. I am so happy that we went dark and bold, as is my client. She had always gone for pale colours and neutrals in her previous homes, out of fear of making a mistake, but as soon as this colour went on the tester sheet she was in love and with it all the way around the room it is like a big cosy hug. She says its so hard to get out of her favourite room in the morning as she just wants to stay there and linger just that little bit longer. 

​Here are some snaps I took from the finished project. Let me know what you think.
