Walnut brown leads. The bed, linen and smaller pieces are cream, so the room stays restful. The headboard wall is the accent: gold-veined stone on a light ground, strong enough to notice and calm enough to sleep beside.

Recessed ceiling lights, decorative lamps and light washed across the display niches give the architecture depth after dark. Glass-front wardrobes hold clothes without adding another heavy timber mass. Material, colour and light are doing the same job: a private room that feels looked after.
