This small bedroom feels calm, balanced and quietly playful. Off-white walls provide a fresh backdrop for a bed dressed in green-and-white striped bedding, layered with coordinating cushions.

The round, rattan-framed mirror hung above the bed is a great way to reflect light and architectural details, enhancing the sense of space. Overhead, a mint-green pendant introduces a subtle pop of colour, coordinating perfectly with the overall look.
