Our bedroom is small, like the rest of our home, but its also the best bedroom we've ever had. Sure we've had bigger ones, but this one is quiet, cosy and comfortable.
It's airy and well ventilated - great for this time of year. While its hotting up here and the humidity is rising, this room cools down in the afternoon so we know we'll always get a good night's sleep.
And with shift workers in the house, this space can be made dark and cool during the day too, with a quiet ceiling fan overhead if needed.
The back wall desperately needs to be painted and it will soon be lightened with a coat or two of white paint, which will make a big impact to the room. I love the central louvred window in the wall, it frames the bamboo outside so well, the vertical culms contrasting with the horizontal louvres.
Matching bedside tables and matching lamps finish it off.
We have a wardrobe and two other drawer / storage spaces in the room as well as the chest you can see at the foot of the bed.
Our bed is also extremely comfortable - investing in a good quality mattress and a woolen underlay have certainly paid off.
Mixing and matching the covers, I'm going with cool blues at the moment, but in winter its rich, warm reds and burgundies.
I've just found some beautiful french blue, stone and pewter sheets too, so they'll be making their way into the rotation soon.
I'm not brave enough to go all white in the bedroom, perhaps one day!
