When you’re styling a bedroom, the bed is the best place to start because it’s the largest piece of furniture in the room and the thing that everything else is going to have to work around. Chances are, it’ll be a pretty big feature so all the more reason to make it beautiful.

Dressing said bed is a MAJOR styling moment and the bed linens you choose will have a huge impact on how the bedroom looks and feels. When it comes to styling bedrooms in our Styling School course, one of the first things we teach our students is how to layer your linen. Gorgeous cosy quilts, fluffy pillows and interesting textiles are the items that will make your bedroom look multidimensional and feel cosier. Nothing looks sadder than a bed with a thin doona and two tired pillows so, remember to be generous with your bedding. Pump up the volume. More is more!

Look at these gorgeous beds, styled by our Styling School graduates. We’d be more than happy to jump into any of them tonight!

Helen’s Heavenly Holiday Suites

Imagine sinking your weary bones into one of these plush beds after a long day at the beach. Well, you can at Helen Murdoch’s holiday property ‘The Newport Beach House’. It’s a 5-minute walk from the water in Newport, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. @labodeaccommodation

Sea green or coastal blue? Take your pick for sweet seaside dreams!

Christie’s Chilled Main Bedroom

The main bedroom isn’t just where you sleep, it’s the only room in the house that’s truly YOURS. It’s an escape from the noise of life – a place to enjoy some quiet and have your own things around you.

Christie Hidding shared her main bedroom makeover with the Styling School Community and it’s clear to see that she’s truly embraced the tranquil retreat feel. The dreamy colour palette, sophisticated wall panelling and so many plush pillows … we’re getting sleepy just looking at it. Nighty night!

Kylie’s Cool Calm and Collected Main Bedroom

You may recognise this perfectly styled bedroom from Kylie Hadid’s amazingly styled home. She’s gone all out with the lush layers and loads of texture and we’re here for it! @_homebliss

Kristen’s Kid’s ROOM MAKEOVER

Awwww, look how cute Kristen Tiananga’s daughter’s bedroom is! The same principles of cosy quilts, fluffy pillows and interesting textiles apply but we think that kids’ room give you license to be more fun, more creative and even more inspiring that adults’ rooms. @the_coastal_abode

Rhiannon’s Blush Boudoir

Jacinta’S COASTAL BOHO WONDERLAND

The best thing about styling, in contrast to renovating your home, is that it is quick to update or refresh your home depending on your mood or the season. As we moved into autumn in Australia, Jacinta Nicholson took the opportunity to add some warm tones and textures throughout her home, like this rust coloured throw on her bed. @home_of_tiny_monsters
