When I heard that Debenhams were holding a competition (here) for us to create our dream room, it gave me the perfect excuse to get designing... again!
The rules for the competition was to spend a maximum of £5,000 in Debenhams and showcase your dream room via your blog.
I decided to focus on my dream bedroom by going for a Parisian style theme with a touch of shabby chic-ness, so think mirrors, crystals, jewels, candles and lights and you're almost there. I've added a small touch of pastel pinks to break up the neutral color scheme so that it adds a soft romantic vibe.
I think the Grey Montgomery Curtains match perfectly with the wallpaper, and will again, break up the 'whiteness' of the room. These start at £76.
The Litecraft Madonna Chandelier, I think would be a fantastic focal point of the room, I've always wanted an expensive chandelier and think this would tie into the theme of the room perfectly with its delicate jewels and beads. I can really imagine this twinkling at night! This retails at £269.10.
Base Total = £397.09
The Debenham's White Swirl Bed Frame I thought went perfectly with the shabby chic-ness of the room, adding a little uniqueness with the swirled frame, instead of the basic divan bed. This double bed retails at £425.
Where do I start with the White Atoniette Bedset? How adorable is this? The ruffles alone sold it to me. Everything about it is so pure and elegant. A double set is £65, with the pillow cases being sold separately at £28 a pair.
The Betty Jackson silver metallic zig-zag cushions (£35 each) I thought would offer a welcoming contrast to the other floral feminine items of the room, but still keeping within the silver/white color scheme. I would have 2 of these sat on the bed, with the Accessorize White Oriental flower cushion sitting in the middle to soften things up (£18.40 each).
I would complete the bed area by intertwining these Debenhams pearly string lights (£24) on the headboard to offer a warm romantic glow in the evening.
Bed Total = £630.40
Bedside Chest Total = £1,150
Every woman needs her vanity area, whether she sits at it every day or it just stands there looking pretty, I think its a nice addition to any bedroom where a woman is concerned!
This gorgeous sleek Debenhams mirrored dressing table (£240) adds pure Parisian vibes to the room (lets think about the cleaning aspect later!). The silver hinged dressing table mirror by Julien McDonald (£40) I thought matched perfectly with the dressing table, adding a Venetian vibe.
I always like to see light against glass mirrors, so the Crystal Chandelier lamp (£60.72) will help satisfy that love!
Yet another candle, the white fairy dust candle (£15) will create that gorgeous soft flicker against the glass. Also the pastel soft pink tones will tie in with the other items that offer minimal color within the room.
I don't think any room is complete without some floral goodness, so this roses and twigs vase (£18) offers that feminine yet mature elegance.
Vanity Total - £373.72
Chill Out Total - £744.80
Wardrobe Total - £1560
Wall/Windowsill Total - £100.99 After all that hard work decorating, my first night in my Parisian themed bedroom would be celebrated by sticking with the French theme and indulging with the Debenhams Cava and Diamonte Flute Set (£30) and some luxury chocolate from Debenhams Chocolate Library (£13) (although hands off the sesame seed one, that's mine!). I'd just have to be careful not to make a mess on my gorgeous new white bedding!
If you do the maths right, you'll realize that I have spent a total of..... £5,000. Right on target! What are the possibilities of that?!
My diamonte flutes say 'Cheers!'
