Bed dressing presents a highly focused selection of fabulous, innovative and practical projects for transforming beds in 25 quick, simple, stylish and beautiful ways. Each project is self-contained, and is shown clearly with step-by-step photographs to follow at home. The bedroom is perhaps one area of the home where you can allow your personal style free-reign - if the decor for the rest of the house is dictated by practical and social functions, the bedroom serves as a private sanctuary. Whether you're a secret romantic dreaming of floating muslin, or you aspire to the grandeur of a carved wooden bed-head, you can achieve the bedroom of your dreams. If you're short of time, have a limited budget, or have more imagination than skills, this book provides 25 solutions for instant, dramatic bed dressing effects.
Step-by-step photographs show how to drape, glue, tie, staple, paint, distress and stencil a wide variety of materials, to create fabulous fantasy effects. Combine checks and stripes for a look of the country drape vivid lengths of sari fabric for high drama, use an old picture frame for a half-tester effect and devise a bed-head fit for a king from architectural mouldings. All techniques are clearly photographed for each project, and a stunning gallery provides a visual catalogue for great accessories, colour schemes and materials. For gorgeous effects that require as little as a lick of paint, a length of fabric or a staple gun - that you can achieve in an evening or a wet Sunday afternoon - this book is all you need.
