1 – Plush Bedroom Designs

First, we take inspiration from the idea of being completely submerged in style and comfort, complementing your personal aesthetic while ensuring pure cosiness. This requires the right amount of styling in the accessories and textiles that you choose to use. For example, choose plush pillows and throw cushions, in textures and palettes that work with the scheme you have in mind. These soft textures and surfaces not only ensure you are comfortable physically in your space, but they also complement the texture and style of the wood slats perfectly, so that your mind is comfortable too.

This can vary, from wood effect to plain designs, curved to multi-width, or even grey felt backing! The options are endless, making it easier than ever to find your perfect match.
