Get The Look: 6 high street pieces inspired by this calm and cosy bedroom

Janice Kernoghan-Reid opted for deep colours and tactile fabrics. 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, Janice Kernoghan-Reid’s (@the_lazy_decorator) guest bedroom was our inspiration.

“This was a fairly neutral room and the agreed plan with my husband was just to freshen it up with a coat of paint in the same shade, but I love bold colour and high contrast and I just found it depressing to spend time and money to make the room look the same at the end,” says Janice.

“I went rogue, bought the dark green paint I’d been lusting over for ages and came out of the room when it was finished.”
Made.com, Ikea and Wayfair are Janice’s main port of call when decorating a room. Below are six high-street products that’ll help you get this look in your own home…

1. Printed rug, €33.19 (£29.99), Wayfair

2. Tassel cushion cover, €9.99, H&M

3. Floor lamp, €40, Ikea

4. Antique-effect globe, €23.79, Eason
