Cool + Contemporary Retreat

From: Amy Elbaum

This contemporary main suite is proof that a few statement pieces can transform a whole room. A canopy bed, minimalistic light fixture, geometric table lamps and charcoal gray, crushed velvet settee give the space a clean and lightweight look, while wallpaper adds subtle texture and complements the cool-toned pieces.

Transitional Bedroom With Canopy Bed

One side of this main bedroom is lined in French doors which, during the day, let in lots of sunlight. In the middle of the space, the designer paired a big, boxy canopy bed with a curved loveseat. Both pieces have slim, modern lines that feel graceful instead of heavy, especially in the light-filled bedroom.

Transitional Main Bedroom With Curved Loveseat

A big main bedroom allowed for some grand furniture gestures: The canopy bed is California king sized. At the foot of the bed, a curved loveseat makes for a sweet seating area—and it's easy to walk around.

Bookshelves in Bedroom

This bedroom's modern bookshelves are as interesting to look at themselves as the items they hold. Like the canopy bed, their trim, open-shelving design feels light and airy in the room.
