DON’T BE A WALLFLOWER
As the place where dreams must flourish, bedrooms should induce a sense of calm – but that doesn’t mean they need to be bland or colourless. “We all need comfort in our lives and nothing makes us feel better than rich, warm colours,” says Amanda Bridger-Stille, showroom manager at wall coverings specialists Allyson McDermott, on Margaret’s Buildings, Bath.“A panel of scenic wallpaper is always striking and allows the eye to wander. It makes a room look bigger and will always catch people’s attention.”

TRENDS FOR 2019 “We’re hoping to see the end of everything in grey and start seeing more bold colours. We’ve been seeing it a lot in soft furnishings, but I think some larger items will start to get this treatment.” Charlie Wicks, partner at Silcox Son & Wicks, New Street, Bath 2
