Autumn is a beautiful time of the year, the season of crunchy leaves, thick jumpers and cosy blankets. But, as the temperature drops and the clocks go back, you might find yourself looking for warm bedroom room ideas. Bethan John from The British Blanket Company explains how to create a cosy bedroom that can be your cocoon for the colder months ahead.

Choose a warm colour palette

Warm colours contain pigments of red, yellow or orange. If you paint your walls with a warm colour palette, this has the effect of drawing in the space, making it feel more intimate, welcoming and inviting. If this is the mood you would like to create, you should select warmer colours as the starting point for your scheme.

Opt for upholstery

To make your room look warmer, avoid furniture with hard edges and choose upholstered bedroom furniture instead. A fabric-covered headboard is comfortable when sitting in bed to read and you can choose from a wide range of fabric colours and textures to suit your style. For a relaxed feel linen works perfectly or, if you’d like a more opulent look, choose velvet in a jewel-like shade.
