my bedroom, my sanctuary

they say the best way to get to know someone is by looking at their bedroom.


in which other situation do we have so much freedom to express our creativity, our personalities, our most cherished, prettiest possesions?


the millésime girl adores things of old, of days gone past. take inspiration from the feminine and the classic when decorating your bedroom; your sanctuary. reject harsh, modernist décor and replace with softer, lovlier furnishings. pastel colours, pretty little trinkets, and, of course - florals, florals, everywhere.


some inspiration; enjoy.


vases of flowers were a staple in 19th century homes, they add that vintage feel and an element of loveliness to your bedroom which cannot be created by anything else. a must-have.


floral teacups are also another definitive point. you can pick them up incredibly cheaply from charity stores such as the salvation army. display on your bedside table or dresser - they can either be left empty or used to hold jewellery.

pretty little vintage mirrors, a stand out item.

white furniture. nothing against wooden, but white makes a room instantly more brighter, cleaner and complements a pastel-toned room to no end.


poster beds. add an element of intricacy and beauty to a room, and again re-enforce a vintage tone.

floral wallpaper. absolutely gorgeous, but avoid if you also have a floral bedspread. floral wallpapers look adorable when paired with a plain white bedspread, and vice versa.


silk and floral cushions. stick to pastel colours, especially pinks.
