The teensy master bedroom meant there was only room for a queen-sized bed and bedside tables. We revitalized the vintage headboard with a fresh and colourful slipcover, and fitted our IKEA box spring -- with four drawers! -- with a custom skirt. The luxe linen drapery panels add softness to the rough backdrop of the exposed brick wall.
Don't be afraid to combine patterns or high and low fabrics. The headboard is covered in a high-end fabric by Osborne & Little; the skirt is made from IKEA's cotton Minna (at $9 per metre, it's a total steal). The two fabrics work nicely together, and the high-low mix won't hurt a budget.
