MASTER BEDROOM
This dramatic scheme with dark walls is lifted with pastel pinks and touches of gold. A velvet upholstered headboard and cosy sheepskin add instant texture.
An oversized black and white photo print creates a striking focal point, and complements the exotic patterned sideboard.
MASTER ENSUITE
Flat matt metro tiles, dark grouting and black taps are offset by the white walls help to create an industrial feel.To smarten it up, extra-large tiles in a herringbone pattern were used.
A metal-framed mirror, industrial-style tap and a vanity unit that's seemingly on wheels pulls together the industrial theme.
