Guest Bedroom Edit
A Tranquil Escape
This expertly curated guest bedroom design by interior designer Christian Bense blends elegance and functionality, combining a contemporary master bed, wardrobe and bedside tables with an antique chest of drawers and occasional chair. A guest bedroom often needs to be a multi-tasker, and this space could double beautifully as a study or reading room.

Lighting for atmosphere
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a cohesive, serene environment. Christian’s design incorporates lighting from multiple sources around the room, like the elegant Swan Neck Wall Light by designer Laverick & Son, who also sell great seconds to reduce any wastage.

The art of layering and accessorising
Christian’s layering of neutrals and deeps allows even the subtlest contrasts to feel punchy, with a diversity of materials to ensure the room feels interesting. Carefully curated accessories such as throw blankets and designer vases elevate the space and express personal style.
