A guest bedroom is a
decorating playground—a
chance to use something
you like but not sure you
want to see every day.
Hence the oversize paisley
fabric that is the star of
this almost-all-white room.
The celery green and soft
white palette holds sway
throughout the space,
creating a light, airy retreat
that’s classic, fun, and
unfussy. A two-color
scheme is crisp and easy
to freshen by adding a
third color to the mix.
1
VALANCE VALOR
A flat valance shows the
paisley print in full glory.
Hanging it high makes the
window seem taller.
2
UNITED FRONT
Walls and crown molding
painted linen white make
the room feel bigger-
colored walls with white
trim would have chopped
up the space.
3
SHORT STUFF
A low headboard
maintains the view while
making a comfy backrest.
4
DOUBLE DUTY
A writing desk also
serves as a nightstand
and a dressing table.
5
SHEET SUCCESS
Layers of luxurious linens
let the bed shine. Preppy
piped shams and duvet
cover mellow the sweet
look of the paisley.
6
CRISS-CROSSED
Carpet with a diamond
motif balances the large
scale of the paisley print.
