Get The Look: 6 budget-friendly buys inspired by Niamh's forest green bedroom

Niamh started with a base colour and went from there. Here’s how to steal her style.

Each week, we take an Insta-worthy room in Ireland and show you how you can get the look yourself with high street buys.

This week, Niamh Griffin Torpey’s (@you_me_and_a_semi_d) bedroom was our inspiration.

“I knew I wanted dark bedroom furniture and dusty pink and earthy toned accessories, so that’s how I started and worked from there,” says Niamh. “I am still adding things and changing bits all the time but I think that’s all part of the fun of interiors and decor.”

Once you have a good base (ie wall colour and floor), you can totally change up a room with just a new bedspread, a few cushions and a simple throw.

H&M, TK Maxx and EZ Living were Niamh’s main ports of call when fitting out this room. Below are six high-street products that’ll help you get this look in your own home…

1. Embroidered cushion, €14.99, H&M

Adding unique cushions to your bed, as Niamh has done, is an easy way to update a plain duvet cover set – and add some lightness to a darker colour scheme.

2. Velvet cushion, €13, Next

The navy and pink colour combination on Niamh’s bed works really well. 

3. Cosy throw, €29.99, Littlewoods

A soft and cosy throw adds a luxe feel to any bedroom. Add texture by layering this over another throw or blanket as Niamh has done.

4. Rattan lamp, €29, Ikea

We love Niamh’s rattan lampshade, and this Ikea version would work perfectly on a bedside table. 

5. Eucalyptus print, €9.95, Desenio

Niamh has created a mini gallery wall effect above her bed with a trio of different, but complementary, prints. Follow suit, or opt for just the one.

6. Geometric rug, €19.65 (£17.99), Wayfair

Make the most of floor space by adding a printed rug in a matching colour to tie everything together.
