Summer Bedroom

As you may have gathered from some previous posts, I absolutely adore interior decorating, and love planning how my rooms are going to look and change from season to season.
For my new house, one of the rooms I have been debating about most is my bedroom, I have been considering colour scheme, furniture, bed styles, everything!
It has taken me a while to decide on the colour scheme, however as it isn't a very large room I new it would need to be light and bright; so I decided on white, light pink, grey and copper.

One thing I definitely want in my room is white bedding, I just think it looks so crisp and clean, I love it. One of the sets I like is the Percale Venice set from Parachute.

Top 5 Accessories

1) Lighting

I'm a big fan of juxtaposing classic design with industrial features, and one of my favourite ways of doing that is through lighting. This one is from not on the high street.

2) Candles

I always love a variety of candles around my home, however my favourite bedtime scent has to be lavender, I use lavender fabric conditioner, lavender laundry spray, you name it I use it! One cute candle I have seen is from Parachute Home.

3) Shelving

One of the great ways to give a room a bit of a wow factor is to carefully design your shelving with statement pieces.

4) Furniture

Continuing with the light and bright theme, I want white stained furniture in our bedroom, and the Hemnes set from Ikea is perfect.

5) Mirrors

I think that mirrors are the easiest way to maximise the amount of light in a room, as well as making a room seem larger. One of my favourite ways to use mirrors is to create a feature wall of several odd shape ones.

New Home Planning

As previously mentioned, the most exciting event in my life at the moment is buying a new house. EEEEEEKK! However, along with all the boring paperwork (not gunna lie, I've given all of that to Adam to deal with) there is so much fun stuff to do when buying a new house... hello decor planning!

This is hopefully what my house will look like when it's finished! Ours would be on the right.

Hands down, the best tool I have found so far when planning rooms and decoration idea has to be Pinterest. I have been pinning lots of different things for the past couple of months, and have a different board for each room.
The overall theme which will be running through the house is country casual. This is partially because I love the country slightly shabby look, and also because I have a young bunny rabbit who causes chaos. If I tried to make a place look all refined and perfectly finished she would destroy it in minutes! Lived in works for me.
We already have quite a lot of furniture as the flat we are currently living in came unfurnished, however we still have some planning to do. The living room will be light as it doesn't get a lot of sun, however it is a nice sized room. Our sofas are light beige as well which is perfect!

I think the room that I am most excited about is the Kitchen/ Diner... I absolutely love cooking so being able to plan my kitchen from scratch is my dream! Also the back of the house (where the Kitchen/ Diner is) is south facing, so it gets lots of sun and with lovely french windows it will be warm and bright. The back wall is going to be a dove grey, the cabinets are cream shaker style, with a wood block effect (I can't afford the real thing!) worktop, and white glossy brick style tiles! I'm so excited.

I'm also quite excited about getting the bathrooms perfect, as I love having a soak, and creating the right environment is definitely part of that, although I did compromise on the tiles I wanted when I got my rabbit Sky!

I haven't really decided on the bedrooms yet, I have a while though, as it isn't going to be finished until October!

What do you think? Let me know if you are in a similar situation, and if you know of any other tools as great for interior design ideas as Pinterest!
