Hi I’m updating our bedroom

I have selected patterned bed linen for a change & fancy a dark navy wallpaper behind the bed. The other walls are cream (husband says we are not painting them) I have picked a textured curtain material in neutral tones but not sure if I need more contrast between the walls and the curtains. Any advice would be appreciated.

Love your choices, will look very smart by the looks of things. Another idea could be a grey wallpaper behind the bed, or navy curtains with your existing colours. But I think it will look

I think they look nice together. Very classy.

Perhaps you could add a different colour if you feel you need more with the bedside lamps?

Hi David. An exciting new project you have there! Here are my initial thoughts: Living room: I would lose the warm tones and pattern, as I think this is what is making it feel dated for you, and introduce some grey and white, with possibly a touch of petrol blue. Shutter style blinds may be nice for your windows - you can get well designed yet affordable slatted blinds that resemble shutters these days. Again, I would stick to white and keep it fresh. I would build in a chimney breast for your TV, and how about a modern style log burner? Prints work well on cushions, so if you did want to re-introduce some pattern into a more modern setting, I would mix geometric printed cushions with simple plain ones to break them up. There are lots out there at the moment. If you wanted to keep the oak floors, you could look into sanding them back and grey-washing for a modern feel or indeed keep them oak. Just by sanding them back they will begin to feel a bit more modern. Note - oak changes colour over time, so if in direct sunlight it will start to go a warmer colour. Bedroom: Remove arch if you can, which would open the space up quite a bit. Perhaps the curtains could go and you could go for a fabric roman blind instead - this would soften the windows a little, yet still feel modern. Plain white waffle bedlinen is always a good move, and if you like a pop of colour, layer it with a throw and blanket, as well as three - four cushions, stacked in front of the pillows. This could introduce a little colour for you. If you stick to cooler colours, you could keep the oak floor if you wanted to, as it may balance out nicely. Can't quite see your pendant light in the shots, but perhaps white origami style pendants and lamps with soft glows would be nice. Keep it fresh, yet soft as this is the room you want to relax in. Greys and tonal colours work well in bedrooms. Not sure if you were planning on keeping your furniture or not, the black could work well for a modern setting, but if you were, you could look at white or grey gloss styles as options. This will keep it looking clutter-free with streamlined pieces. Hope this helps a little. Fi

Are you sure you want to go industrial? The room looks like a cute little period bedroom not a converted warehouse (yes, I do know the industrial style is very fashionable at the moment). Personally, I like the idea of having a whole wall of curtains. Alternatively, is there a wallpaper with the same pattern that you could use on the wall? As you seem to like mid-century, vintage pieces too, I think I'd stick to that theme as it's more likely to really complement the room.

There's a lot of terracotta/rusty colours around now which would warm up grey and navy and kind of act in place of wood furniture in your case. If you are sticking with the white furniture you could change the knobs for a warm metal, and add a warm metal picture frame and mirror. Perhaps you could find some natural basket or wood trays to sit on top of the bedside cabinets. You could also buy or make a fabric headboard cover to take out that big slab of white headboard. This picture could add some inspiration:
