Styling Series: Express Yourself with Bayley

Styling home decor gives us a unique opportunity to express our personalities. And when it comes to our bedrooms in particular — a room that we begin and end our day in — it’s important to create a space where we can feel at ease and relaxed. Incorporating your own personal flair into your styling can take some experimenting (and some helpful blog articles) to find what works for you.

A simple place to start? Your colour choices. Taking inspiration from our Bayley Washed Percale collection, we asked interior stylist Kerrie-Ann Jones to share some tips on styling an expressive bedroom look. The result? An unexpected colour combination that's equal parts playful and refined. If you’re curious about how to create your own bedroom colour palette that just feels like you — keep reading.

Start with a Foundation Colour

Every great room design begins with a foundation colour. Choose a hue that speaks to you and sets the tone for your bedroom. Kerrie-Ann worked with the Bayley Washed Percale sheets in deep sea — a rich shade of navy that anchors the space and creates a sense of calm. Darker colours like navy create a grounding effect, helping your room feel cohesive and adding depth to your palette.

Quick Tip: If you’re using a darker foundation colour, pair it with lighter or pastel tones to create balance.

Layer a Statement Quilt Cover

Next, choose a quilt cover that adds visual interest and contrast. The Bayley Stripe Washed Percale quilt cover in cool mint is perfect for this step. Its fresh pastel green tone complements deep sea beautifully, bringing light and energy into the room.

Why stripes? Bold patterns like stripes add personality and dimension. The cool mint colour softens the space while adding a refreshing touch.

Add Accent Pillowcases for a Pop of Colour

Pillowcases are a simple way to introduce an accent colour. The Bayley Washed Percale pillowcases in dusty mauve bring softness and a hint of playfulness. The delicate mauve melds seamlessly with the deep sea and cool mint, creating an unexpected yet harmonious palette.

Why dusty mauve works: It’s a little touch of whimsy without overpowering the overall look. When paired with navy and mint, it balances the depth of the darker base colour and the brightness of the quilt cover.

Quick Tip: Play with pillow placement. Stack them, layer them, or prop them up to add visual variation to your bed.

Add Texture with a Finishing Touch

The last step is bringing in texture for added personality. The Tami bolster cushion in ebony makes for a bold yet understated final touch. Its unique marle breaks up the solid colours in your bedding, while the bolster shape adds variety to the silhouette.

Trust Your Intuition

There’s no right or wrong when it comes to styling your space — it’s about curating a room that feels personal and relaxing. The Bayley Washed Percale Collection, with its versatile colours and complementing patterns, is designed to encourage experimenting. From deep sea blue and pastel cool mint to dreamy dusty mauve, have fun breaking away from traditional boundaries and embrace your creativity.
