Oh that's funny, I was just trying to find an image I could save of the whole room theme I posted before from Oka (another shop that does international delivery!). If you were feeling brave you could paint the bed wall in a similar colour to make more of a feature of the bed. Do you need a bed skirt? What's the base like? I would probably just have a white duvet then a neutral throw with a patterned one just thrown on top (beds look more appealing if they're "thrown" I think rather than formally arranged but you could also try it on top of your bedspread. I wouldn't go cream for the flowers, if you go for blue accessories then I'd look at the pale mauve hydrangeas or you could add a few coral accents as shown here. Perhaps do consider a rug if you can't add bed end stools for extra texture

Hi Katie,

Looking at your original photos I was going to comment on how the height needs to be added to to give a better feeling of layering. Your picture added above is perfect and achieves this beautifully.

It's easy to achieve if you choose the right pieces. You need some great plain back cushions to give the height and then add the layers in front of that. With your pillows in the cases to match the bedspread. I would keep your additional cushions neutral to allow you to change the pattern or colours as you like (with seasons or mood).

This is a really luxurious look and it looks like it is all from the same range which will make it easier to find and combine to make it work.

I look forward to seeing what you choose :)

This would be easy to achieve, just lots of layering and you definitely need the big cushions at the back.! You can use different blues but vary the scale of the patterns. I've found a pic (hopefully you can see the curtain pattern :) ) demonstrating scale etc. It might be nice to tie in floral with a linen ticking stripe continuing the French theme

Wow, love the look you're trying to achieve here Katie. Amazing colours and pattern (which we love). Agree that you need to be layering up your bedding, with housewife, square and in this case, this style very much suits Oxford pillowcase edges for your top pillows. Also agree, you need to add some cushions on top too, although with those you don't have to be completely matched, sometime the scattered look mixing different colours and textures can really finish a bed off nicely. If you are looking for quality, cotton bedding, take a peek at our collection of bedding, cushions and throws, hopefully you find something you love.. http://www.secretlinenstore.com/egyptian-cotton-bedding/cotton-bedding-sets

Hi Katie. It's looking good. Why not try propping the back cushions up a little more and leave a gap between the front ones. Try just draping the 2nd throw over the edge of the bed rather than formally arranging it and see what you think although draping may not work so well with that throw a shade it seems quite thick. Or you could also add a smaller rectangular cushion at the front in a botanical design or a bolster. Or you could try adding the 2 pink rose cushions you have stashed away? Is there room for art above the bed? Perhaps a set of 3 small prints but try it first by sticking paper to size to the wall with blue tac or something.

Not quite :) I prefer the lamp on the outside btw. I'm struggling to find an image of a throw draped for some reason but maybe try this one instead with your dark throw on top of the other one. You could also try the dark one underneath. I think you just need to play around with it, also try propping the pillows in front of the back cushions and even try folding back the white bedspread by the pillows. It depends on what you prefer though as I like it slightly informal, your 1st pic with just one throw looked good but perhaps with a little space between the striped cushions

Is it a divan bed? I personally feel that your bedlinen is too large...is it a bedspread that touches the floor or is it a duvet? You will notice that in the pictures that Katieme2016 and Minnie posted, the bedding does not touch the floor. It is also plump and well ironed. Your bedspread or duvet is too flat and creased. The cushions you have in front of your pillows sag a little too much. Try and plump them up and stand them up straighter to give a more formal look to go with your amazingly gorgeous bedroom. Also try lying your pillows down on your bed. So you have your large continental pillows lying down with your standard pillow lying down on top. Then stand your decorative cushions up vertically in front. This is what i do in my bed, and i think it works nicely. I would fold up and layer the gold jacquard throw and put it as a strip at the bottom of the bed but not hanging over the end. And i would remove the blue one on the top, I dont think it links with the rest of the room. Sorry about my extensive post....i remember reading your post before and loved your bedroom!!

sorry ive just noticed that you are Katieme2016!!! but the photo you posted earlier of floral blue bedding

Hi Katie, I think you need a petrol blue throw at the end of the bed, if you can find one. The light one doesn't balance it very well! You could also change your lampshades to tie it all together.

Katie....I think that looks loads better. Esp the second picture! Could you perhaps get another light blue cushion and have them lined up symmetrically. I think the shades are fine. Could you post a pic of the whole room...do your curtains have the light blue it... I cant remember? You have done a lovely job of your room!

Maybe try dark grey lampshades? Key is to look at your room like a painting, and add accents of colour and tone where you can. Darker grey or blue lampshades will add a bit of balance to the space and composition.
