Master Suite

Make a statement. 
In a large master bedroom, choose a fully upholstered headboard and footboard to anchor the room.

Upgrade your linens. 
Punchy poppy-hued stripes add unexpected color to an otherwise neutral room.

Mix, don't match. 
Break up symmetry with bedside tables of the same height but different materials. A skirted table with tailored box pleats adds pattern.

Editor's Tip:
Hang a grouping tightly to make it read as one element instead of a lot of different items.
