From Her Home to Yours
Michelle’s Classic Cottage
"The cottage is busy, and this is a little corner that I wanted to be my sanctuary. I wanted a space that feels feminine and calm, the Debutante Pale Blue Velvet Upholstered Bed is the most beautiful shade of blue, its warm like an English spring sky and puts me in the right headspace to start the day. The soft velvet and the smooth curves give it a feeling of luxury. Teamed with the soft Peachskin Quilted Bedspread in Petal Pink to match the panelling and the gorgeous Bijou Bisous Lamps in Blanc are understated and give it all a little French charm."
- Michelle
"I'm a huge fan of colour, the way it can change the mood of a space always fascinates me. I have chosen colours for each room depending on what time of the day we are usually in that space and how we want to feel in there. I try to not follow interior trends too much and always go with what makes me feel good."
Michelle’s classic English cottage is a tapestry of colour and pattern, each room layered with soft, muted tones and bathed in warm light from lamps. Pattern is never overwhelming, but thoughtfully balanced, edited with care so that every flourish finds harmony. Colours are drawn from within the prints themselves, creating a sense of calm that feels vibrant yet quietly composed. "We are a large family with busy lives and it’s important to me that the cottage is a home, a place that makes you want to exhale as you walk through the door and take off your shoes." This intention carries throughout Michelle's home, with each corner curated to encourage restoration and hibernation.
Curate Your Colour-Led Country Retreat
To bring this look into your own home, begin with colour that reflects how you want to feel in the space; soft, muted tones that shift gently with the light throughout the day. Choose an upholstered bed as your foundation, the indulgent fabric absorbs sound, a visual and practical quiet elegance. Next layer in character with pieces from our Secret Garden Collection to introduce floral patterns which evoke a feeling of nostalgia and bring nature indoors. Keep prints thoughtful rather than busy, drawing accent shades from fabrics to use across cushions, throws and painted details. Finally, introduce warm pools of light with carefully placed lamps to provide a calming glow. The result is a bedroom that feels personal, restful and effortlessly lived-in. A space designed not for trends, but for truly enjoying.
Jackie’s Winter Sanctuary
"I always treat January as a chance to slow things down and reset. Adding extra layers, richer colours and comforting textures that make the cold feel a little softer. This reversible Immortal Love Green Velvet Ruffle Throw paired with the Tuscan Olive Groves Cushion and Apple Orchard Green Ruffle Cushion has completely changed how our bedroom feels. Cosy, calm and inviting. The kind of bedding that makes you crawl back in and linger a little longer."
- Jackie
Jackie has always been drawn to spaces that feel warm and welcoming. "Not perfect or styled to death, just layered, lived in and cosy. A home where you kick off your shoes, grab a throw and settle in on the sofa. " Her eclectically curated home reflects this sentiment beautifully, layered with patterns, décor, and art - and often scented with freshly baked goods, thanks to her love of baking!
Approaching her home as a calm, evolving backdrop to everyday life, Jackie finds joy in the simple things. “As I’ve entered my middle years, I’ve realised it’s often the ordinary moments that feel the most satisfying.” Touches of nature are woven throughout her space in the form of plants, prints and soft shades of green, echoing the coastal paths nearby and creating a gentle, restful space to simply be and enjoy.
Curate Your Cosy Coastal Bedroom
Curate a cosy coastal bedroom inspired by slow living and simple pleasures. Focus on creating a space that feels warm, layered and lived in. Never over-styled, always inviting. Begin with a soft, natural palette of warm whites, gentle oat tones and muted greens, echoing the calm of the English coastline.
Choose bedroom furniture with rounded silhouettes and subtle detailing such as from our French Romance or Douceur collection to form a welcoming foundation. Layer with quilted throws and cushions for depth and comfort, and introduce natural elements through ceramics and botanical prints. Complete the look with soft, ambient lighting resulting in a bedroom designed for quiet mornings and enjoying everyday moments of beauty.
Donna's Love Story
"We’re slowly turning our house into a home and I’ve long dreamed of this bed. The elegant and timeless French design pairs beautifully with the period character of our bedroom. And when your bed is this divine, only the best bed linen will do. I’ve styled my French Bedroom Love Story Olive Velvet bed with their Romance Ruffle Cotton Bed Linen Set, Lover’s Embrace Cotton Cushion in Olive, Handblock Print Cushion in Moss Green, Pushpa Flowers Blockprint Cushion, Sofia Emerald Bedspread and Green Trellis Block Printed Rug. The harmony between form and function is effortless - everything just falls into place."
- Donna Wardell, Newcastle
Ground ornate Victorian elements and grand décor with a serene palette of neutral colours, clean lines, and thoughtful minimalism to create a space that feels both timeless and inviting. Donna has executed this beautifully, layering bold, moody colours against crisp-lined wooden paneling and architectural details from the 1920s, like an intricately carved fireplace mantle that anchors her living room with elegance and history. Subtle hints of luxe brass in lighting fixtures, picture frames, and accents add a quiet shimmer, catching the eye without overwhelming the space. The result is a home that balances grandeur and refinement with a sense of calm sophistication. A space that feels lived-in yet artfully curated, where every detail invites you to pause, breathe, and appreciate its understated luxury.
Curate Your Modern Victorian-Style Bedroom
Curate a modern Victorian–style bedroom by blending opulent historical charm with contemporary elegance. Begin with a refined palette of deep greens, berry, charcoal, and warm neutrals to create a dramatic yet inviting atmosphere. Introduce rich textures (think velvet cushions, ornate rugs, and softly draped throws) to echo Victorian grandeur while keeping the look fresh and modern. Anchor the room with signature pieces from our Love Story collection, where graceful curves, carved details, and romantic silhouettes bring a sense of timeless beauty. Balance these heirloom-inspired touches with sleek metallic accents and minimalist styling to keep the space feeling contemporary.
Jessie's Nostalgic Retreat
"The new Nostalgic Rose design from French Bedroom is the prettiest pattern. Roses are my favourite flower, pair them with the softest silky bed linen, striped piping details and ruffled edges and it makes for the perfect cottage style bedroom.
Our bed was made in the UK, which makes it even more special!"
- Jessie
Jessie's style lends itself perfectly to our nostalgic rose design, inspired by romantic English gardens and playful femininity. Her use of weathered wooden furniture mixed with colourful florals perfectly invokes the rustic charm of the cottagecore aesthetic.
Consistent themes of natural wood and floral patterns echo throughout her cosy cottage, bringing the feeling of trailing rose bushes climbing aged architecture into her home.
It evokes forgotten memories of a slow summer afternoon sipping tea while sunlight spills onto a fresh bouquet of roses in a rustic vase. Her thoughtful curation of patterns, colours, textures creates a homely lived-in warmth throughout the period property. Every detail whispers stories of garden strolls, handwritten letters, and quiet moments spent reading amongst blossoming gardens.
Create Your Cottage Core Inspired Bedroom
Create a luxurious cottage-core bedroom by layering soft romantic details and natural textures. Start with a gentle palette of warm creams, dusty rose, soft sage, and muted lavender to bring a sense of calm and nostalgia. Incorporate floral elements from our Secret Garden Collection —think delicate rose patterns on bedding, hand-painted blossoms, embroidered accent pillows, and flowers displayed in vintage glass vases. Choose from our Love Story, Clair de Lune, and French Toile furniture pieces to anchor the space with timeless romance: curved silhouettes, carved detailing, and warm wood tones enhance the feeling of heirloom elegance. Add plush throws, lace accents, and ambient lighting to complete a bedroom that feels like a dreamy, luxurious hideaway in the countryside.
Luci's Charming Country Bedroom
"Feeling safe, warm and cosy is so important in a bedroom, so I always make sure to work products into the room that 'bring the outside in' . We have had the pleasure of welcoming some products from French Bedroom recently that have achieved just that. The Meadow Botanical Bed Linen Set is like a breath of fresh air. Perfectly light and delicate. I love the countryside theme pattern as well - so in keeping with the colour scheme of our room. Also featured is the jute runner (which has the gorgeous green edging) and olive green cushions. Thank you so much French Bedroom we loooove these..!"
- Lucinda Kidson, Kent
Modern Countryside Serenity
Luci’s countryside home is a celebration of nature and modern comfort, beautifully achieved through her ability to bring the outside in with a thoughtful blend of greens, nature-inspired patterns, soft neutrals, and contemporary styling. Her neutral base acts as a calm, grounding canvas, allowing the space to shift in mood and expression whenever inspiration strikes.
Modern lines and clean silhouettes weave effortlessly with organic textures, creating a harmonious balance between sleek design and the natural world just beyond her windows. Subtle botanical prints add depth and interest without overwhelming the space, while hints of soft greenery, whether in sage-toned textiles or nature-inspired artwork, breathe life into every corner enhancing the quiet connection to the surrounding landscape. The result is a home of gentle sophistication: warm, inviting, and effortlessly adaptable.
Bring Modern Countryside Calm Into Your Bedroom
Start with a soft neutral base using warm whites, gentle beiges, and muted greens to set a soothing foundation that instantly relaxes the space. Then layer natural textures and subtle patterns through cushions and bedspreads to bring the outside in while keeping the look refined. An upholstered bed offers a cosy, cushioned backdrop, while a rattan bed introduces organic countryside charm, with both anchoring the room beautifully. Add a chest of drawers in a warm wood or soft neutral to ground the space, and use mirrors to enhance brightness by reflecting natural light and making the room feel airy and open. Finally, incorporate nature-inspired wall art and bed linen to complete the look with a gentle nod to the outdoors.
