Out of every space in a home, your bedroom is without a doubt the most personal. Even though it's an area many of your guests may never actually see, it still deserves a great deal of attention. It's where you recharge, reflect on the day, and even spend time reading a book, so it only makes sense for it to feature the right color palette and furnishings. And let’s not forget that it also has to showcase your design style accurately and complement the overall aesthetic that’s reflected in other areas of your home.
1 OUTDOOR DETAILS Yes, the bedroom of Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz's Cartagena vacation homeenjoys the benefit of large glass doors leading to a hammocked balcony al fresco. But natural materials—like the raffia-and-seashell pendant and a woven room divider behind the headboard—lend an elevated, earthy feel. 2 WORKHORSE NIGHSTANDS t might seem counterintuitive, but in a bedroom with relatively small square footage, sizing up the bedside tables can make the most of every inch. In this Brooklyn Heights apartment, a West Elm dresser is repurposed as a roomy nightstand to house bouquets, books, and beauty products.
3 A COOLER CANOPY Canopies of the frilly and flouncy variety are best suited for the childhood bedroom of your dreams. But in luxe materials—here, a mirrored bed frame is upholstered in Romo velvet—the accent feels all grown-up. 4 DIY ART Chalkboard paint has found its place in kitchens, playrooms, and children's bedrooms, but it's also an innovative and evolving element for adult spaces, too. In this rental treehouse in Florence, a chalkboard doubles as a headboard and a message space for hosts to leave welcome missives to guests. 5 SUMPTUOUS FINISHES Perhaps there is no other room in the house where you'll appreciate lush, opulent textiles and finishes than the place you'll spend most of your time. In Sophia Amoruso's Los Angeles jewel box, a custom silk velvet bed frame is dressed in Frette sheets and blanket, and placed aside brass and black lacquer nightstands and handmade silk drapes. 6 PROPORTIONAL PIECES A spacious bedroom is the dream, but outfitting it with accents that speak to that scale is key—lest it feel like a gymnasium, not a haven. In this Parisian apartment, an oversized pendant and jumbo mirror feel right at home in an airy, open space. 7 DRAMATIC CURTAINS A room is never completely finished until you address your window dressing situation. In the guest bedroom of a Paris apartment, the custom forged-iron bed frame is finished in gold leaf and stands out against the curtains made from a Pierre Frey chintz and Dedar fabric. 8 SWAP IN A DAYBED Create the illusion of more space in a tiny guest room by opting for a daybed instead of a large bed frame.

In a young couple's monochromatic Swedish home, the master bedroom blends white and cool brown for a color scheme that makes the petite space feel more open and airy. The bed is by Hästens, and the is vintage. 10 CREATIVE HEADBOARDS If you grow tired of things easily, using curtains as a creative headboard lets you update your room to fit every season and mood. In the master bedroom of a palatial Florence estate, the bed coronet and curtains are of an Ian Mankin stripe.
