Room Décor 101
Your room is your personal sanctuary. And as a sanctuary, it should be custom built to fit your needs. It should reflect your personal style and provide you with the best comfort for a great and restful sleep every night.

As the great Coco Chanel once said “An interior is the natural projection of the soul”. Create a style statement and that expresses who you are with these tips:

Now that you’ve chosen your theme, its time to establish your colour story.

A colour story is the combination of complementing or contrasting colours to tell a story. Normally what you can do is to choose your favourite colour and work around it by choosing its complementing or contrasting colours that suits you.

Splurge on What Matters
At this point, you’ve already chosen a theme ready. Your colour story is somehow in place. Its now time to decide on what’s important for your room.


The Bed
