He explained that another method of smartening up a room is to put in a rug, but suggested spending a reasonable amount of money on a bed.

Regarding this styles that are currently en vogue, Mr Evans said: "This year we're seeing a resurgence in using natural, environmentally-friendly materials in the bedroom - wood in particular."
