Seaside Sophisticated

This coastal sanctuary is a postcard of serenity—replete with a wood four-poster bed, a jute rug, rich navy textiles and a crystal chandelier. The floor-to-ceiling windows are ideal for taking in the views of South Africa’s Grotto Bay.

Pretty Stylish

You can’t help but fall in love with this indie-influenced space. The modern, cherry wood canopy bed is a stunning centerpiece, dressed with white linens, a feminine throw, and heart-printed pillow. A faux fur rug and matching pillows amp up the intimate vibe.

Safari Chic

Equal parts rustic and relaxing, this safari-inspired oasis is outfitted with indigo mud cloth textiles, a white comforter and a makeshift mosquito net canopy—both practical and pretty. Woven baskets and Bird of Paradise plants add to the a resort-style feel.

Streamlined Mountain View

Clean lines and contemporary styling come together in this mountain view master. The sleek steel four-poster is complemented by distinctive design elements—60s-style nightstands, Warren table lamps, black trim, and a faux fur bench—creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

A walnut four-poster bed is the focal point of this Austin master. A deco leaf mirror, Aztec rug and magenta accent pillows infuse personality. The effect is a space that feels vibrant and eclectic, yet pulled together.

Retro Glam

Brass Beauty

The star of this airy bedroom is the brass canopy bed, accented by a crisp white bedspread and ikat pillows in soft hues of gray and pink. A beige and navy striped rug anchors the room, while a fiddle leaf fig and lots of natural light add to the open feel.
