Dalton Interiors shows how they reinvigorated a primary bedroom.
Nantucket blinds by Hunter Douglas are inset along a wall of windows. While still constructed like a slat shutter, these blinds are instead made of sheer fabric, providing
an elevated softness for a relaxing bedroom retreat.
The focal point of the room is the bed. Dalton’s clients requested a real footboard, a tall order for a tufted king-size bed. This one, by Century, fit the bill with a walnut frame and Crypton linen fabric.
Layers of cream and white pair with gray-blue to create a classic French design for the condo at Park Place on Main. Trim is painted China White and the walls are Oyster Shell, both by Benjamin Moore, which Dalton calls a wonderful backdrop.
Night chests and a sunburst mirror boast a French-painted patina finish. The mirror was selected to add interest to the bed and to complement the custom floral bedding. Polished nickel swing-arm sconces take the place of the lamps; these allow for each side to switch on and off the other side.
Walnut furnishings add depth by providing contrast and a grounding point in an otherwise light-palette room. Additionally, a desk was added with a neoclassical chair; from a designer’s point of view, it takes the place of an unneeded chest.
