The bedroom is a place for respite, a soothing environment to settle into for sleeping or relaxing. I'm drawn to cooler tones and casual bedding that has a kind of laundry-on-the-clothesline feel. I've assembled what I think is a classic bedroom with necessary objects and some trendy elements slipped in. — Sarah from The Estate of Things
contemporary bedroom by O Interior Design
I like this collected bedroom with its layered textiles and simple canopy in which to take refuge.
contemporary beds by JCPenney
Catrina II Bed - $600.00 »
I love the subtle arch on the top and the casual ties on the sides of this headboard. And of course, the price is incredible!
contemporary roman blinds by Overstock
Petite Rustique Bamboo Roman Shade - $32.39 »
Bamboo shades work with so many different interiors, anything from traditional to coastal, and they look great layered under linen drapes.
contemporary curtains by Pottery Barn
Peyton Linen/Cotton Drape - $89.00 »
The Peyton drape is my go-to because it is one of the prettiest and most affordable lined, linen-blend drapes available.

Yves Delorme Bastide All White Pillow Shams - $89.99 »
Using white linen and white sheets as a foundation will allow a lot more freedom to accent with a wider range of colors.
contemporary bedroom benches by One Kings Lane
Cameron Tufted Chaise, Talc »
Normally I prefer an armless bench at the end of the bed, but I was really drawn to the curvy, feminine arms of this piece. Place it at the end of the bed, and find a great ikat pillow to throw on it.

Hand Woven Original Organic Lumbar Silk Ikat Pillow Cover by Sukan - $49.95 »
I love the simplicity and color of this ikat print. It would look great in the center of the white bench at the foot of the bed.
modern kids rugs by Restoration Hardware Baby & Child
French Stripe Rug - $79.00 »
I think a bedroom is a great spot for a striped rug; the bed breaks up the stripe. This yellow is a little more fun than a neutral, but it can still act as a neutral.
contemporary artwork by DwellStudio
Paule Marrot Clouds Artwork - $2,200.00 »
I'm a huge fan of Paule Marrot's work, and these clouds would be beautiful above the bed.
contemporary side tables and accent tables by Homedeco Direct
Cream Ceramic Garden Stool - $230.00 »
This is a classic little accent table that, if needed, can be easily moved to any room in the house.
modern table lamps by Wisteria
Vessels d'Art Lamp, Hourglass - $299.00 »
There are so many lighting choices, but when it comes to bedside lamps, I keep going back to a neutral gourd lamp. And I like a matching set.
contemporary throws by West Elm
Chunky Tassel Throw - $79.00 »
Toss this chunky throw across the end of the bed.
mediterranean chairs by Wisteria
Moroccan Stool, White - $99.00 »
Lately it seems like the thing to do is place a stool in front of your night stand for magazine stacking or what have you. This little Moroccan stool is perfect for layering.

'Leak' Contemporary Abstract Inkwash Painting by Manjuzaka Gallery - EUR 30.00 »
I'm a sucker for a black and white abstract, and this will look great hanging over a desk or nightstand.
contemporary desks by West Elm
Parsons Desk, Natural Grass Cloth - $499.00 »
I'm lovin' the parson's desk reinvented in grass cloth. It could be a vanity, nightstand or desk.
asian armchairs by Wisteria
Chinese Chippendale Chair - $419.00 »
I love the lines and scale of a Chippendale chair, and I think it would be great pulled up to the grass cloth parson's desk.
traditional duvet covers by Bobby Berk Home
Matteo Bedding Vintage Linen Duvet Cover - $495.00 »
Quite possibly the most sumptuous linen bedding, the perfectly soft and aged Matteo white linen duvet is a must-have.
eclectic pendant lighting by Candelabra
Regina Andrew Apple, Saucer and Cigar Jute Pendants »
If you're not tied to a ceiling fan, the natural texture and glow that these fixtures emit is perfect for a soothing space.

Keighley Espresso Wood Top End Table - $194.99 »
A good nightstand has a mix of drawers and shelves for stowing and stacking.
