Style, sophistication…luxe. How can you feel comfortable in a bedroom that isn't about you? We are not where we live, but how we live.

This master bedroom is about shelter. The palette is subtle, very sophisticated and yet, warm. An escape from all pretense, from all pressure. The walls are brushed in a soft quail egg brown - the curtains, constructed of pin-stripe linen. Everywhere, the eye feels comforted and the self - assured.

In the foreground is a modern day classic - the Baldwin Slipper Chair of Madagascar straw - its seat cushion upholstered in a sophisticated silk. Quilted ultra-suede pillows and pillows clad in hand-painted linen, provide the perfect foil for the exquisitely simple upholstered headboard. The lamp - Ming dynasty celadon - is perfect for reading in bed and spectacular just to look at.
