The Australian stylist taking bedrooms to the next level

The Melbourne-based artist has recently joined forces with homewares giant west elm to makeover the main bedroom of the home she shares with her husband Raph, with a sophisticated take on fun colour. We think you’ll love the results as much as Beci does.

The brief 

“Pops of colour, lush textures – but still with a feeling of calm, and I wanted it to fit in with the things I already have in my space,” said Beci.

“The style I use in my work is bold, graphic, colourful and feminine without being too girly,” says Beci. “I would say my home style is the same, although I like it to be slightly more understated when it comes to our bedroom.”

What Beci loves most:

“I always wanted to see what our bedroom looked like with velvet curtains – now they’re up I love them so much. They suit the room perfectly.”

“The Charm rug is also a JOY. Having the chair in our room feels very grown-up indeed, I love the warmth of the rusty colour too.”

"I wake up daily feeling like I have my life together, because my bedroom is so beautiful!"

On the bedroom makeover: “I love it - actually way more than I thought… The pieces I had in our bedroom previously were all things I had collected over time, and I love how the west elm pieces fit in with those, and almost elevated them so they are shown in a whole new light.”

It’s not Beci's first collaboration with West Elm – the designer was in store for International Women’s Day earlier this year for a live craft installation.
