Ultimate Sanctuary
This master bedroom's graphic, orangey-red walls were made using a large, custom stencil. The graphic detail is mirrored in the bed linens as well. The room is softened by the jute rug and the washable, light blue linen slipcovered headboard.
Saffron Sanctuary
The playful butterfly-patterned bed linens pull together this master bedroom's saffron-and-gray color scheme. A ledge above the bed serves as a casual alternative to a headboard and just the right spot for tossing a book or displaying a collection. An antique patchwork rug is layered over a textured jute rug to add an element of age to the room.
Blanketed in White
The lavendar ikat pillow's rectangular shape and colorful pattern contrast with the white palette. "I always like it when beds have punctuation -- this pillow is the exclamation point on the bed," says the designer.
Patterned bedroom
The large patterns of the wallpaper and curtains are an unexpected combination, which works because of the calming green and brown color palette. The fresh feel of the bedroom serves as a wonderful guest room.
Twin Set
A small guest room gets a dramatic treatment with paisley "headboards" topped by homemade valences created by drilling plywood with different-size bits. An arrangement of flea market mirrors and a painting fills the empty wall space between the beds with flair.
Fairytale Fabrics
There's something about abundant draping that appeals to the girl in all of us. Even the double-layered bedskirt in this Southern Accents bedroom looks like a petticoat peaking out from a skirt.
Shabby Chic
Many of the pieces pictured in this bedroom are flea market finds. Unify mismatched pieces of furniture instantly by coating them all in white paint. For a bed that's irresistibly inviting, layer a variety of quilts, blankets, and throws.
Beach Suite
Natural materials such as matchstick blinds, bamboo drapery hardware, and a driftwood lamp lend rustic accents to the tailored furnishings.
Charming Nook
Small spaces are always comforting, as long as they aren't cluttered. A slanted wall and bold wallpaper add visual impact and make this bedroom feel like a world of its own, though it's only a few square feet.
Style Master
A good-looking pair of lamps flanking the bed is an instant style update that’s practical, too. A classic pair of ceramic lamps is a great choice, but we also love wall-mounted sconces -- especially for late-night readers. A three-way bulb is a considerate touch.
Darkened Wood
This bedroom's forest scene mural literally brings the outdoors inside. By restricting the mural to one wall and keeping the color scheme muted, this bedroom becomes cozy without being too surreal.
Beautiful Boudoir
A glamorous bedroom can be cozy too. Luxurious bed linens, super soft throw pillows, and great lighting create a comfortable space no one will want to leave. Pink silk curtains like these cast a soft glow throughout the bedroom.
Bed Cabinet
Homeowners call this guest bedroom a "bed cabinet." The sliding barn doors add character to the small bedroom without taking up precious space.
Globe Trotter
Using maps instead of wallpaper create a cool effect in this master bedroom. Pick maps of places you've been or that remind you of home. Here, the maps cover only a portion of wall above the bed; covering the entire room would have been too much.
A Canopy Can
Hang a draping canopy from the ceiling above a simple bed and headboard for a luxurious, tentlike space.
Tall Order
A quiet palette of whites and blues allows the antiques to take center stage in this bedroom. Tactile fabrics such as velvets and silks add a luxurious element of texture. The ceiling height is accentuated by an extra-tall headboard and mirrors that flank the bed.
Rays of Sunshine
Let a bold geometric print be the starting point for a room's entire color scheme. This lemon yellow-and-brown striped fabric is the focus of the entire room, but by pairing it with all-white bedding, it never overwhelms the space.
Light and Bright
The wall behind the master bed is painted pale blue, and the same hue extends to the wall outside. White bed linens and a patch of plush shag carpet make this master bedroom luxurious but understated.
Girl Glamour
Shades of pink and green make this room an unmistakable haven for a young girl. The soft green bed frame was a family heirloom that got a fresh coast of pastel paint. All new, modern light fixtures and a shag rug bring this fantasy bedroom into the 21st century.
Natural Oats
Vibrant green walls play well against the oatmeal carpet and organic, natural-colored bedding. Warm black finishes on the antique dresser and chalkboard provide color balance and aged texture.
Rich Hues
Vibrant color doesn't always mean all-over color. This master bedroom uses saturated colors in contrasting hues for a big impact on select pieces.
Bold Hue
Custom-colored, hand-blocked fabric in a bold turquoise wraps this bedroom in style and comfort. The classic blue-and-brown palette is inspired by the late British tastemaker David Hicks. Though the room is filled with patterns and textures, their complementary tones create order.
Elegant Retreat
This master bedroom is a serene and chic nest with tall French doors that open to a private walled garden. The tranquil yet cool palette of gray, beige, and aqua that fills the rest of the home extends into the master bedroom with the mix of silk, leopard print, and pale pink, giving this room an exotic yet still polished look.
Hues in Blue
Fabric-covered walls in this master bedroom add a layer of solitude. The nightstands―a black-and-white inlaid chest and an Art Deco table―provide asymmetrical balance to a traditional brocade headboard.
Colorful Kids' Room
The bright ikat of the daybed's canopy set against yellow walls with an acrylic coffee table makes for a colorful and chic kids' room sure to spike children's creativity.
Restful Retreat
Creating a cozy bedroom like this one is simple when you combine the right ingredients: bedside tables even in height with the mattress, simple bedding to give the most versatile look, a mirror to reflect light and create a focal point, a soothing wall color, and a soft fluffy rug to bring warmth to the space.
Guest Sweet
A tiny guest bedroom gets a dramatic treatment with pale aqua striped walls and a sparkling pendant light.
Prince Charming
Boys' rooms are tough. When the children are young, they're into sports, popular music, and all sorts of things that don't lend themselves to lovely wall decorations. Tailored stripes and plaids bring order to this 10-year-old boy's room.
Sleep Serenely
A new addition to a charming old harbor-view cottage copied the house's paneling that covers the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom. Linen blinds retract to maximize the splendid views.
Light-Filled Bedroom
A palette of gray, mauve, navy, and purple keeps the master bedroom serene, while the curtain fabric and rug add a vibrant, fun pattern.
Nautical Retreat
This multipurpose room acts as an office, and because of the sleeping nook with daybed, it can also double as a guest room. Bold stripes and playful prints give this room a fun but not overdone nautical theme.
Layer It On
Create depth by layering on the details all in one color. Sticking with just one color―light green in this case―allows you to incorporate different patterns into the same room flawlessly.
Plaids and Stripes
Though popular, white trim isn't your only option. Consider going up or down on the paint swatch to choose a shade, or take inspiration from a wallpaper or fabric in the room. Here, striped wallpaper inspired for the blue-gray trim and ceiling color. The glossy finish reflects the light, making the space seem more open and airy.
Pink Perfection
With diverse hues from blushing to shocking, the color pink is not just for little girls. We've gathered our favorite ideas to show you the diversity of this cheerful color.
