Can you tell us about the brief?<\/strong><br><strong>Helen: <\/strong>The project was designing the master bedroom of a beautiful family home nestled in the Cotswolds. The brief was to take inspiration from the signature aesthetic of Studio McGee, an internationally-renowned interior design firm in the US, which is currently enjoying a third season of its hit interiors show \u2018Dream Home Makeover\u2019 on Netflix. The look combines natural textures, tones and materials with a beautifully-muted colour palette inspired by nature. Maximising storage potential was also a key requirement, while keeping the proportions of the room balanced, so it didn\u2019t feel cluttered with too much furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-131-1667x2500-013adb5b-fb6c-4e01-94be-761d419f0942.jpg 1667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Curated accessories make for an Instagrammable corner <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How did you begin?<\/strong><br><strong>H:<\/strong> Initially, I met Beth at our flagship store on Tottenham Court Road to discuss ideas and get a better understanding of her overall goals. She wanted the room to feel light, bright and spacious, but with a warm, peaceful and welcoming vibe. At that time, Beth and her husband were considering installing Velux windows, which is a wonderful way to really maximise the amount of natural light. Beth had prepared a Pinterest board and her images provided a very clear design brief with the key elements of a neutral colour palette with soft beiges, sage greens, wood tones and warm terracottas. Texture also played an important role in the design scheme, so we were keen to explore fabric options for the upholstery, while using an eclectic mix of light and dark woods to allow the scheme to feel considered yet natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-201-720x480-ea891993-7bae-4c77-b3c5-778c005720c5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-201-720x480-ea891993-7bae-4c77-b3c5-778c005720c5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-201-720x480-ea891993-7bae-4c77-b3c5-778c005720c5.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-201-720x480-ea891993-7bae-4c77-b3c5-778c005720c5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bedside beautiful \u2013 practical and pretty  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Talk us through the steps, from initial brainstorm to product selection and install day?<\/strong><br><strong>H:<\/strong> After the initial consultation with Beth, we prepared a floorplan to ensure we were both on the same page with the layout and location of the key items. I was then able to start shortlisting pieces that matched her design brief. Selecting the right bed was a key decision, and given the generous room proportions and high ceilings, the couple opted for the luxurious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/lift-storage-divan-bed.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lift Storage Divan Bed<\/a> in a super-king size paired with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/retta-headboard.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retta Headboard<\/a>. The tall profile of the headboard worked really well with the height of the room while the fluted detailing was softened with boucl\u00e9 fabric. The width of the space also allowed us to select matching chests of drawers either side of the bed, rather than traditional bedsides, which provided symmetry and balance together with lots of useful storage. While we browsed the showroom together, we spotted additional items that could work, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/lisbon-bench.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lisbon Bench<\/a> from our \u2018Designed by You\u2019 range in the dining department. I then created a moodboard to illustrate how all of our shortlisted pieces worked as a cohesive scheme and mapped these onto a scaled floorplan using our CAD software. It was at this stage we added further items to inject some additional contrast. Install day was exciting and went very smoothly. All items were consolidated in our warehouse and a delivery date was agreed. It was wonderful to see our carefully-made plans literally come to life! Dressing the room with all the final touches, like books, candles and foliage, brought everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264-697x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264-697x1024.jpg 697w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264-768x1129.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264-1045x1536.jpg 1045w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264-1393x2048.jpg 1393w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Beth-Sandland-357-1701x2500-6a73ba08-318c-4590-a4a8-480fbcc57264.jpg 1701w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ziggy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Was it a collaborative process?<\/strong><br><strong>H: <\/strong>Working with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/interior-design-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IDS<\/a> design team at Heal\u2019s is always a collaborative process!
