Bedroom decor ''should draw inspiration from nature''

Natural colours and patterns can add a real sense of style to the bedroom, it has been suggested.

Using decorative pillows with floral patterns, for example, can help bring nature indoors, HomeSense spokeswoman Colleen Uncao told the Winnipeg Free Press.

She continued: "You don''t have to worry about being too matchy-matchy.

"As long as you have a really great piece that has an interesting shape, an interesting colour, then it works in your room."

Using a brightly coloured throw can add some interest to the bedroom, Ms Uncao suggested, as can using white bed linen with colourful accents.

Simply exchanging the pillows or duvet cover for something a little brighter can make all the difference, the expert added.

It was recently suggested by Marc Atiyolil in a piece for Canada.com that colour is the most important consideration when redesigning a bedroom, as it will help restore a sense of calm.
