The dark wood floors that are original to this bedroom ground the entire space. But then, to infuse a sense of airy calm, designers used mostly light-colored furnishings everywhere else. Walls are fresh white and the many soothing textures come in soft creams, tans and whites.

This primary bedroom is a lovely blend of Mediterranean earthiness and strong, contemporary contrasts. The canopy bed is the heart of the space. To balance out its slim lines, designers added a large potted tree and oversized artwork, big and bold.

The dark rug is a tasteful surprise in this big bedroom, a grounding contrast to the rest of the room's paler shades.

Four square-shaped pieces of art are a perfect pairing with the simple wood bench on this bedroom wall. Their feeling is modern, but the shapes and colors continue the room's peaceful mood.
