An illustrated concept for Cornish bungalow bedroom.

A low footend leaves the view across this Cornish bedroom open. Grey striped bedding, small brass lamps and a coastal print sit around an oak bed, with the wardrobe tucked into the side return.

See the product sources

From the doorway, a low footend lets the eye travel over pale boards and bedding towards the slatted oak headboard. This Cornish bungalow concept puts the wardrobe on the side return, leaving the broad garden window free to light the bed. Greyed bedside tables keep the two sides related without matching the warmer oak exactly. The coastal print supplies the brightest blue in the room; outside, an ordinary hedge and neighbouring roof keep the setting pleasantly domestic. Small brass lamps bring a warmer finish within reach of the pillows.

A little more morning room

Colour palette

  • Warm chalk
  • Oak
  • Stone grey
  • Aged brass
  • Sea blue
01

Keep the end of the bed low

The bed's shallow footend preserves the view of the bedding and the floor beyond it. With a wardrobe already rising along one side, that lower edge helps the furniture vary in height.

02

Let the print carry the blue

The framed Gurnards Head print concentrates the sea colour above the bed. Grey striped bedding and pale curtains leave it space, while the small brass lamps add a warmer note at either side.

What to borrow

Look at the bed from the doorway as well as from its side. A low footend can leave more of the room visible. Try bedside furniture in a related, slightly different finish before buying a fully matching set.
