Bedroom

Summer Serenity

In this beautiful bedroom edit, interior designer Nadine Finnegan shows how to blend charm and character while keeping the overall look fresh and youthful. A mix of pattern adds visual interest—from hand-blocked linens to woven brights. Combining antiques with newer pieces will help to knock the edges off this look, ensuring the space feels cheerful and comfortable, whilst holding a sense of heritage.

Setting The Scene

Bamboo and Wicker Bedside Tables, handmade in Italy, bring time-tested elegance, paired with a playful, contemporary rug by Tate & Darby. While open bedside tables are cost-effective to buy new, antique and vintage dealers remain a smart choice for bedsides with drawers—at a fraction of the price to make these now, to the same quality. A floral cushion by Flora Soames introduces a nostalgic English note, perfectly complementing the smart bedhead fabric by Rapture & Wright.

Details That Personalise

This look is easy to personalise, and as always, accessories will bring it to life. Look to Beata Heuman for exquisitely soft quilts—try ‘Dawn’ for layering in calming blues, beautifully made in collaboration with Swedish bedding experts Mille Notti. A painted octagonal plate by Polly Fern features canary birds and wild brambles. Add antique touches, like a 1950s Italian rattan mirror, and then scents such as Verden’s Herbanum candle, evoking fresh herbs and wild summer grasses.
