1. Minimalist

Go for a simple wooden bed with matching pedestals and a cosy blanket that will help you survive the winter in style.

2. Neutral chic

A padded headboard in a neutral shade is essential for that comfortable bed, decorate with throws, pillows and blankets and your space will be attractive too.

3. A view

The great thing about South African homes is that there is never a shortage of stunning sights, so why not make the landscape or panoramic view something to wake up to.

4. Fresh air

A bedroom with a garden view means fresh air will keep your interior comfortable.

5. Wood panels

Wooden panels behind your bed is a simple yet stylish alternative to the average headboard.

6. Luxury

The opulent creams, beige and gold tones is nothing less than luxurious. Use mirrors and sultry illumination to enhance that romantic atmosphere, perfect for a winter evening.

7. The full suite

If you are lucky to have a spacious bedroom, then you may want to consider incorporating a private living space and even a bar fridge, so you'll never have to leave!

8. Another view

Cape Town has some of the most magnificent views in the country, so make your bedroom decor simple and let your surroundings speak for you.

9. Something blue

If you live at the seaside, then include some stunning blue in your decor for that marine inspired design.

10. Shabby chic

A wooden bed with eclectic furniture is great for that shabby chic bedroom layout.

11. Just so lovely

You cannot go wrong with a hotel inspired colour scheme. This white bedroom is elegant and inviting and with this much sunshine is absolutely comfortable too.

12. Poster bed

If vintage, antique and retro attracts you, then there's nothing more classic than a four poster bed, but add some eclectic and industrial features with dramatic lighting and colourful seating.

13. The window seat

A window seat doubles as extra storage for bed linens and pillows, while also being the perfect spot to catch up on your reading. If you liked these ideas, then have a look at these 15 beautiful headboards that are easy to copy
