I am currently reading Module 12 of my Interior Design course work (the last module – can’t believe I’m nearly finished!) and it is about bedrooms and bathrooms. There is a summary of several different bedroom styles which I think is a great reference tool for me to refer back to. I found a few pics to illustrate the different styles. I personally love eclectic.
Summary of some bedroom styles
1. Cottage
Small prints, fine stripes, coordinating plains, iron or pine beds, rugs, stencils, clutter, cosiness.
2. English Country
Spacious solid furniture with a mellow patina, space, simplicity, gentle colour, hard floors, rugs, subtle patterns.
