Soften a Room With Billowy Fabrics
« Combine Earth and Fire | Pair Leather With Wood »
Adding soft, billowy fabric panels to a bedroom entices all of the senses, especially touch. They are clean, fresh and romantic. Be sure to add in contrasting texture, too, as was done here with the custom-made vine-themed light sculpture (at right), rock lamps atop the headboard and the pillows in a variety of fabrics. And don't forget the backdrop. Here it is an unusual and highly textured cork wallpaper.
