A striking mural will create visual impact in a bedroom. Abundant floral designs feel smart and contemporary when paired with luxurious velvet, gold and marble. Mirror the pattern on just one cushion, keeping surrounding bedlinen plain and light so the mural can take centre stage.

Play around with feel-good textures and fabrics on your bed for a cosy, glamorous look. Not only will this give you the chance to get creative with colours, but it will create an incredibly grown-up feel. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary, after all.

'Bedrooms, traditionally described as the private, rather than public, rooms in the home are now being shared more widely. Inspire others as to how you have created your sanctuary and sense of comfort through layered throws, blankets and textured accent pillows,' Pip Prinsloo, Partner & Head of Design at Home at John Lewis & Partners tells House Beautiful UK.

An easy way to create an Instagrammable bedroom is by adding a touch of paint to your room. A standout colour, such as dark navy, olive green or burnt red, will ooze character and style.

A great way to make a statement is to opt for energetic colours. Whether you choose Pantone-approved hues or Farrow & Ball's top wall colours of the year, you can be certain to have an Instagram grid interior enthusiasts will lust over.

'Deep Imperial Purple, for example, transforms intimate spaces such as bedrooms, creating a luxurious look and enveloping feel,' Charlotte Crosby, Head of Creative at Farrow & Ball, explains. 'Used in smaller quantities, such as inside a window recess, it can add a rich pocket of colour to even the most neutral of rooms.

'Don't be afraid by the size of a room. A deep colour such as Ultra Marine Blue will distract the eye from the size and create the perfect backdrop for all bedroom accessories.'

Soft, luxurious bedding can drastically transform your bedroom space. When choosing yours, opt for decorative quilts, delightfully soft throws and scatter cushions.

'Little extra details can really turn your bedroom around. A decorative quilt, throw or blanket – or even two – will finish the bed off beautifully. Fold your throw neatly and drape over the bed, making sure to reveal a generous amount of each layer to avoid it looking too fussy,' Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company tells us.

'Mix up the textures of the bedding and the size of the cushions and you can create all manner of different looks! A bedside rug is also a great tip to make the room feel a little more "finished".'
