Get The Look: 6 budget buys inspired by this pretty-in-pink master bedroom

Martina mixed upcycled pieces with high street finds. 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, Martina Creevey’s (@martinas_cosy_crib) master bedroom was our inspiration.

“What I really like about the room is that during the day it feels so airy and fresh, yet at night time it has a cosy, relaxing atmosphere,” says Martina. “This bedroom gets the sun in the morning, which also helped me in choosing colours that I knew would work.” 

I like to have a wander around charity shops and find nice pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. 

All of the furniture in Martina’s bedroom is upcycled, but HomeSense and TK Maxx are her favourite interiors shops for decorating.  Below are six high-street products that’ll help you get this look in your own home…

1. Beaded lampshade, €25, Argos
