Zen-Like Bedroom

A white-on-white scheme creates an airy, restful master bedroom. Its cheetah-print wicker chair and ottoman offer another nook for reading.



Black-and-White-Striped Bedroom

Black-and-white-striped upholstered walls create a dramatic backdrop to this two-toned room. The paintings and wood dresser add an element of softness and warmth to contrast the intensity.




Sunny Bedroom

A floral-inspired bedspread, wallpaper, and chandelier bring nature's bloom indoors in this attic bedroom. A bold beam of sunny yellow is brought in with an accent wall.



Refined Rustic Bedroom

This chunky cedar bed was built with the same material as the room's fireplace mantel. Old zinc Popsicle molds, sometimes pressed into service as vases, reside neatly beneath the footboard-bench, while a leather surveyor's case rests atop it. The walls and linens were kept woodsy yet sleek with khakis and moss greens.



Log Cabin Bedroom

A folding camp bed is made delicately feminine with sheer pink mosquito netting and a soft green comforter. Vintage white furniture and decorative stars add a soft structure to the rustic cabin.




Blue-Patterned Bedroom

The low, irregular ceiling of this room was enveloped in blue-and-white wallpaper to give it the warm and inviting feeling of a country inn. The pattern was continued on the bedding and upholstery throughout the room. To soften the bold, repeating pattern, blocks of white were incorporated in the form of wicker furniture.




Feminine Country Bedroom

Layered linens make this bed as graceful as a Victorian dress, starting with an "underslip" of matelasse and moving on up to a chenille blanket and white lace throw. Feminine fabrics with light floral patterns and large windows make the room bright yet calm.




Shades of Pink

The perfect shade of pink paint and a classic iron bed function as a surprisingly versatile framework for a variety of looks. Here, a serene feel was achieved with a tonal palette of pink and brown.




Vintage Chic

A base of snowy white and flecks of gold combine in this elegantly vintage room. A canopy from an old store display and an ornate headboard frame the bed. Hanging below are vintage pearls, beads, hats, and bags.




Dreamy Escape

Serenity reigns in this cloud of a bedroom. The mattress is topped with a feather bed; the embroidered shams and coverlet share the space with a huge Norwegian-style pillow that covers half the bed.
