Young girls’ dreams are made of this… We loved creating this dream-come-true bedroom. It is an utterly feminine fairytale of a room, centred on the romantic view over the garden and fields beyond.

When we first saw this room, the beams were dark brown and the entrance door was too low. We created the big arched double doors, to give a sense of importance and balance to the space, and stripped the beams back to a silvery tone. Our client wanted wallpaper, so we fitted a cornice round the room and over the top of the arched door, so that the paper could butt up to it. The curtains were fixed to one of the cross beams and frame the view like a stage, and lace drapes were arranged over the carved and painted bed. The ultimate finishing touch was the addition of the Venetian chandelier!
