This Los Angeles master bedroom features a mix of whimsical elements, such as a metal wall sculpture and a curtain of glass disks. Soothing touches, such as translucent silk drapes, provide privacy without obscuring light.
An intense black wall, offset by some natural touches, gives this room an easy but artful elegance. "I like mixing antique and modern because things stand out more when styles are contrasted," said the owner of the home.
This upstairs "dormitory" in a Hamptons, New York, summer home evokes the memory of childhood summers with vintage schoolhouse lights, mosquito netting, and cast-iron beds. White dormers contrast with the original woodwork, which was oiled but left unpainted. Light-colored bedding gives the room its relaxing air.
In this Savannah, Georgia, master bedroom, a ceiling fan with mahogany blades and tongue-and-groove wood paneling convey a cottage feel. Plantation shutters create privacy while still letting the breeze flow through.
The deep, matte chocolate color of this Charleston, South Carolina, guest room is accented with pale greens and oranges (inspired by the antique crewelwork bedspread) to keep the darkness from becoming overwhelming. The overall effect makes it a very restful spot.
In a young girl's room in Sag Harbor, New York, a 19th-century bed has been reupholstered in a heavy velvet. The French chair from the same time period gives the family dog easy access to the bed. Even the toy horses have provenance: They are Dala horses, a traditional motif of Dalarna, Sweden. The carved chest is German.
A wood ceiling, installed by the original owners of this Madison, Wisconsin, home, gives a warm touch to the master bedroom, as do the walls, which are painted a pale blue-gray. Everything the new owners added to the room has simple lines, including the bed and the square nesting tables.
This country guest room in upstate New York is rustically furnished with an oak bed, a side table and a 19th-century rosewood lamp. The white-painted floors, walls, and ceiling help balance the dormers.
In her Skylands guesthouse in Maine, Martha Stewart had a lampshade made to match the Italian alabaster reading lamp; the ruffled edge echoes the fluted top of the lamp base. The sconce is one of a set of Italian lyre-backed pieces in the room that belonged to Martha's grandmother.
In this Texas ranch house, a king-size bed nook framed by ornate molding dominates the master bedroom. The owner fell in love with the over-the-top design detail and highlighted it with white paint. To act as a counterpoint to its curves, she added angular side tables and a vinyl headboard and bench.
This tiny New York City bedroom had just 13 inches on either side of the bed after it was centered against the back wall. An ingenious headboard -- just fabric hung from a wooden dowel -- provided a dramatic touch without sacrificing depth. The same fabric was used to create sofa pillows so the apartment felt unified.
The antique furnishings in the master bedroom of the eclectic Bonnet House, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, were an extravagant wedding gift to the owner, a painter, who put his own spin on the room by painting everything blue and white.
In this master bedroom, an upholstered headboard is ideal for reading in bed. Wall lamps provide proper lighting while freeing up space on the end tables.
The extravagant canopy in this master bedroom was made with about 18 yards of fabric. It wasn't much trickier to create than a set of custom drapes, yet the visual impact of the sweeping layers of creamy cotton is grand, to say the least.
A colorful Dutch woolen blanket hangs above the bed in this New York City loft's master bedroom. Family photos are displayed in plastic holders attached to the wall with map tacks, making it easy to change and update the array.
The master bedroom in this Brooklyn, New York, apartment includes a chest bought on eBay that was repurposed as a TV cabinet. To balance the feminine colors of a pink armchair and custom camel headboard (not shown), the owner opted for crisp shapes (the chest, the mirror) and bold symmetry (the stools, the framed prints), so the room looks tailored and not overly girlish.
A solid, neutral color palette and simple paper light fixtures give this distinctly modern room in Los Angeles a light, airy feel.
Tall French doors draw light, breezes, and the fragrance of an orange tree into the master bedroom of this tranquil home in Santa Barbara, California.
A canopy bed in this guest room of a New England 18th-century home is covered with a vintage Indian sari. The Eastern feel is further complemented by the rough-finished walls and weathered Persian rug.
The guest bedroom in this New York City apartment is covered in a charming butterfly-and-bird-patterned wallpaper. The coverlet matches the pale blue ceiling.
In keeping with the rest of this eco-friendly home, the owners of this Massachusetts abode outfitted their master bedroom with an organic mattress. Everything, including the sheets and the curtains, were "safe washed" (a combination of baking soda and white vinegar) in an effort to remove some of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Deep-gray-brown walls are warmed up by light-colored linens to create an intimate and warm feel in this eclectic home.
A high gable brings in gorgeous light filtered by maple and hemlock trees in this Westchester ranch. The faux-antler chandelier came from an antiques market and adds an impressive centerpoint to the otherwise spare decor.
The floral patterns on the Belgian silk bedspreads in this room mimic the tree's red-orange blooms that are scattered in the yard. The bedroom's ceiling was painted by Danish artists, who also decorated the bookcase.
"I wanted the bed to look like a bento box," Kevin Sharkey, the owner of this city apartment said. A can't-go-any-lower black-stained bed and marble-topped side tables achieve the effect. An oversize graphic painting keeps the furniture grounded in the soaring room.
A guest bedroom in Martha's home is painted a soothing gray-brown, and is supremely simple in its decor. The twin-bed frames are metal, faux-grained to mimic bamboo. A flower arrangement and a Victorian wicker nightstand are the room's only embellishments.
Eric Pike, the owner of this tranquil bedroom, wanted a low bed that wouldn't block light from the window; he and architect Richard Perry came up with this design, inspired by Jean-Michel Frank.
In the master bedroom of this Santa Monica, California, midcentury home are a wooden table with a rattan pull, a reading lamp in the same contrasting hues, an African stool in a rich chocolate shade, and whimsical vintage skateboards that soften the white-and-gray color palette.
