This primary bedroom blends soft blues with bold pops of color for a lively and layered look. Light blue painted walls serve as a serene backdrop for an off-white upholstered bed with layered bedding, including a blue coverlet, tan-and-white striped bolster, windowpane pillows, and hot pink bird-printed velvet pillows. Bright yellow velvet armchair, yellow-and-white drapery, and Roman shades add cheerful accents, while a light blue-and-white rug and white waterfall coffee table complete the space. Windows with crisp white trim allow natural light to brighten the room, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere.

In this Woodinville, WA home, our clients loved their Hunter Douglas Silhouette shades but needed better light control at certain times of day. Drapery wasn’t the right fit due to layout and design direction. We layered motorized blackout roller shades on top of the motorized Silhouette shades so they block light when needed, and unobtrusive the rest of the time, preserving the look of the Silhouette. ✔ Add blackout without replacing existing shades ✔ Improve light control for stairway ✔ Layered window treatments designed for real living

The layered planting scheme along the front porch was designed to focus attention on the front porch and complement the existing paver walk. The suggestion to paint the posts, chinoiserie railing and porch trim a dark gray color added a dimension of sophistication to the simple frame house. Photography by Linda Oyama Bryan

This bedroom features a light wood king bed with leather headboard detailing, layered with a chunky off-white knit throw. Black nightstands and brass wall sconces flank the bed, while a ladder rack leaning against the wall holds an additional throw blanket. A blue table lamp with a white linen shade adds color and texture, creating a modern, layered, and inviting bedroom.
