6 Golden Rules of Bedroom Styling Inspired by the Three Birds Dream Home

Bedroom styling is an art, not a science. It brings together creativity, flair, an understanding of the latest trends, and a keen eye for colour. And when it comes to this art, Three Birds Renovations are masters at the craft.

After rebuilding and redesigning countless homes across Australia, it’s safe to say that Three Birds knows how to put together a stunning, on-trend master bedroom. We’ve rounded up 6 golden rules for styling your bedroom, inspired by this latest space in the Three Birds Dream Home.

1. Bring in the boucle

Boucle was big in the ‘60s, and now it’s back and better than ever. This woven fabric has a unique aesthetic that elevates even the most simple of pieces, while also oozing loungey comfort.

Three Birds has incorporated boucle flawlessly with the Chloe Boucle Ivory Swivel Chair. By bringing together the textures of boucle with the undulating curves of the Chloe, this piece exudes contemporary style and understated sophistication.

Tip: when incorporating a boucle, keep it simple. Boucle is bougey on its own, so give it plenty of space to shine.

2. Create softness with contemporary curves

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary — a space where you go to unwind from the day. The perfect bedroom invites relaxation and restoration with every element, from the colours to the shapes and the linens. And if you’re looking to create a sanctuary for the body and mind, curved furniture is the way to do it.

Warm, soft and inviting, curved furniture instantly soothes and invites the eye to roam around the space — just like the Chloe Swivel Armchair in House 14. When paired with the organic contours of the Maya Rattan Room Divider and the muted colour palette, this bedroom welcomes you to stay a while, and then a while longer...

3. Embrace natural beauty

Want to style a true sanctuary? Weave in organic materials. There are few elements as gorgeous and striking as those found in nature — plus, these pieces are typically versatile and look absolutely stunning in a variety of spaces.

We love the way Three Birds has incorporated hints of nature into the main bedroom, including our very own Maya Rattan Room Divider. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Indonesia, this charming piece of furniture is ideal to bring in natural materials, especially on a bare wall.

4. Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures

Marble, boucle, linen, rattan, wood...although these are distinctly different materials, they complement each other remarkably well when incorporated in the main bedroom of House 14. When it comes to textures, don’t be afraid to experiment with some unconventional pairings.

Tip: request fabric swatches from your furniture store. You’ll be able to take these swatches home and see how they work with your existing space before making your final purchase.

5. Establish dedicated spaces

With more of us spending time indoors with a good book or our latest Netflix binge, having distinct areas helps create a sense of purpose and place within a bedroom. The key is to establish separate zones for different parts of your routine, such as a reading nook or a walk-in wardrobe — just like Three Birds has done in House 14.

In the main bedroom, the trio has created dedicated zones that feel distinct, but have a flow. Linen curtains, rattan room dividers or rugs can create fluid but defined spaces within one room.

6. Work with a muted palette, then add pops of colour

The beauty of a muted palette is that it’s literally a blank canvas for your design ideas.

Want to bring the mood of spring inside? Incorporate plants and linens in fresh hues like green and yellow. Looking to add a touch of femininity? Pop a pink sheet on the bedspread and echo this colour through your wall hangings and on the room divider, just like Three Birds did in House 14. When you start with a clean base, the possibilities are literally endless.
