This Couple’s Resort-Chic Bedroom
This elegantly modern home was designed by IDr. Jenny de Dios. The couple wanted the feel of a luxury resort. However, the space needs to still exude a home-like appeal, and it should not have an excessive tropical appeal. To achieve this, wood elements with rich and warm tones are beautifully offset with polished chrome accents. A wooden four-post bed dominates the space. To provide contrast against the sleek lines and dramatic furniture, the designer added in a tufted headboard and paired it with light-colored ottomans. The entire space is swathed in natural light courtesy of expansive picture windows, adorned with cream-colored draperies to enhance privacy.
