Looking to transform a Tuscan-style bedroom into an updated, family friendly master suite, a homeowner in Orem, Utah, approached designers Kirsten Krason and Erin Morgan.
“Our client bought a beautiful large home, but there wasn’t much in it that was her style," Krason says. “She had a more colorful aesthetic and wanted a home that felt youthful and would be a good fit for her new family.”
Krason and Morgan were well-suited for the task. The pair’s design firm, House of Jade, is popular for mixing beautiful colors and patterns infused with white spaces and clean lines. As their team set to work, they used this style to craft a dreamy setting trimmed in jewel tones that complemented their client's aesthetic.

With its stone fireplace, luxurious chaise and elegant upholstered bed, the master suite is a vision of tranquility. Where the room previously paired cream-colored walls with dark wooden trim, Krason and Morgan opened the space with crisp white finishes. The pair then replaced the room’s carpet and layered in neutral furniture and vivid accent pieces.
The main priority was a beautiful bed and a chaise that could function as a comfy place to sleep when their kids came wandering in during the night.Kirsten Krason, House of Jade Interiors

As the centerpiece of the room, the bed particularly showcases the designers’ dedication to detail. The textured amethyst and mauve throw pillows gently enliven the neutral comforter, while the sequined pillow pairs well with the geode accents on the wall. Matching lamps create symmetry and enhance the room’s lighting, thus forming a look that’s balanced, bright and sophisticated.
Still, with their client’s four children in mind, Krason and Morgan knew that functionality was just as important as aesthetics. They selected an antique navy chaise longue, which doubles as a cozy fireside reading nook and extra bed for little visitors.

Multipurpose furniture is emphasized throughout the room. Against the far wall, an upholstered bench provides a seat for lounging and putting shoes on in the morning. Hidden storage is tucked into cabinets beneath the TV and the two nightstands without adding any visual clutter.
"For their master bedroom, she and her husband wanted a serene space," Krason says. "They wanted deep and saturated colors."
With coastal artwork by Grace Kreinbrink as the focal point of the room, Krason and Morgan evoked the calming nature of a sunset. Deep purple throws, pink stools and pale blue beside lamps provide complementary accent colors, helping to add the touches of saturated color that the client requested.
These accents also allowed Krason and Morgan to better accomodate the family's active lifestyle. The pillows, throws and stools can easily be replaced should wear and tear occur or should the homeowners tire of the colors or styles.
“Our couple is young so we didn't want the space to feel too stuffy, but they also wanted a space that felt a little more formal than the rest of the home,” Krason says. “We picked the right places to bring in color and pattern, which allowed us to create the look they wanted.”
