If you want your four-poster to be fairytale perfect, then opt for light, billowing curtains on all sides. We love the play of a partially exposed concrete ceiling and ocean blue floor in the whitewashed bedroom. You could also install a few potted plants for a touch of that fresh green.

If you like to be close to your roots, then opt for a more traditional pattern and adorn it with earthy colours such as russet orange, beige and brown. To complete the look, place a small knotted settee at the foot of the bed.

Four-poster beds are well suited for rooms with high ceilings. If you have a vast space, try colour blocking with bright, bold colours on the wardrobe, floor and an equally strong colour for your bed linen. We love the simple, elegant symmetry of this four-poster bed.
