New Idea Bedroom

The wood bolection molding around the fireplace and the unique doors into the library area are calming elements in this master suite.

This corner in a bedroom creates a comfortable spot to rest and read in the afternoon. An interesting mix of objects and color produce a warm modern sensibility. Art was hung below the window sill to be enjoyed at eye level while seated.

In this master suite the main attraction is the custom bed. Its inspiration came from an iron Moroccan candle. The bed's footboard has illuminated spires. The antique rug was the catalyst for the color scheme in the entire suite.

This bedroom is serene with a neutral palette. The wild silk, hand-knotted Tibetan rug is a luxurious texture for bare feet in the morning. A modern graphic on a primitive sign adds interest to the monochromatic color scheme.
