Project: Andy Warhol Marilyn Bedroom
Location: Suffolk.
Warm, lived‑in, quietly luxurious
A classic spare room: beige walls, a single bed, and not much else. A space that had become a dumping ground rather than a room with a purpose. The brief was to turn this blank canvas into a warm, textural guest bedroom with a clear point of view; calm, modern and quietly luxurious, without feeling staged or over‑designed.
This project shows how even the most ordinary starting point can become something characterful when colour, texture and proportion are used with a natural touch.
Before:
A spare room with beige walls, a single bed and no real purpose — the kind of space every home quietly collects. A room that had become more of a holding zone than somewhere welcoming.
Design Direction:
Warm, modern and quietly luxurious was the goal. Portland Stone on the walls set a calm foundation, while crisp white bedding and tomato‑red accents added energy and character. The Warhol artwork became the focal point, anchoring the palette and giving the room its confident, contemporary edge.

Revealing the Room
The biggest change came from giving the room a clear point of view. With colour, texture and proportion working together, the space moved from unused and unfinished to warm, welcoming and quietly confident.
