Vintage bedroom
For a fresh vintage look in your bedroom, mix white-painted furniture, like this chest of drawers from Laura Ashley and vintage-style floral patterned accessories. The clean white walls are a perfect contrast with the curtain fabric from Luna.

Feminine boudoir
Bring together one eye-catching floral wall, white-painted exposed brickwork walls, wooden floorboards and doors and keep the subtly going with white vintage furniture pieces. Sharpen the girliness with grown-up glamour pieces such as this striking vintage mirror and dress-maker's mannequin. Keep an eye out for other vintage finds to make your space an ever-evolving treasure trove.

Dainty bedroom
The classic design of chinoiserie has a trailing flower pattern, and has been used to great effect on this Laura Ashley wallpaper. The design is also very effective on the mirror design. Team it with fresh linen and pretty pastel coloured furniture.

Vintage needlework bedroom
Antique styles of needlework in ivory, leaf and rose with subtle French knots and pintucks for texture create a pretty room. Pink walls, a patterned floral rug from The Rug Company, Leporello canopied bed and French-style furniture add romance. A Mark Maynard armoire provides elegant storage, a chandelier and gilded mirror are glamorous touches.

Furniture that girls of any age can appreciate: a large over-stuffed chair and ottoman for lounging and a vanity table for primping and prepping.

Both the shower curtain and gathered skirt utilize traditional toile, but in a bold choice of color. A flat sheet, sized for a single bed, makes a great shower curtain.
