A Clean, Spare Chalet Bedroom
The principal bedroom in this ski chalet is layered in soft textures, and it’s no coincidence that the window frames are all black. “The windows are like picture frames; for each view, I wanted to take care with what is seen outside,” says the owner and photographer Monic Richard. “When lying in bed, for example, you see a forest of little birch trees. That’s the part I like the most, especially in the winter. It’s very graphic, like seeing a painting in every window.”

A Dreamy Ranch House Bedroom in Vancouver
A spark that came from a London trip evolved into a storybook principal bedroom design in Rosie Daykin’s West Coast ranch house , with a pastoral wall mural from Anewall. Rosie took a chance and bought her rug online; the colors are a perfect counterpoint. “I love pattern on pattern on pattern,” she says. “It takes a confident hand but, to my eye, it looks the best.”
