Right on Hue
Energize basic
beige bedding with a splash of color. Soothing
blues, bright oranges, and pretty patterns
upgrade this space from bedroom
to boudoir. To add sophistication, follow
this room’s lead and use a palette of rich
neutrals and varying shades of two colors.
Mix in classic shams and bolsters outfitted
in coordinating fabrics.
CO R RECT DO SAGE
Add color where it
counts: Three Euro shams
in a two-tone pattern set
the scheme, which is
repeated on the bolster
pillows. Two white pillows
are layered in to temper
the patterns and color.
HID E-AW AY BED
A bed skirt isn’t just for
looks—it’s a perfect
solution for keeping
underbed storage out
of sight. Plastic bins will
easily slide under the bed.
TH E GRAN D FIN ALE
Drape a coordinating
throw over the bed’s foot
for a final flourish. On this
bed, one corner of the
throw is folded over,
revealing an orange
back—the same color as
the pattern on the shams.
