I’ve had this image in my files for a while now, without realizing where it came from. Today, Apartment Therapy has a post about this room and others, all from L’Hotel Recamier in Paris.
While the canopy headboards are a bit much for me, I find these shots inspiring because of the use of geometric patterns (a favorite technique of mine for pulling a room together) and layered textiles in shades of blue and gray. This has to be a lesson in how to combine multiple patterns for a calming and cohesive look.
I also like the use of mirrors as part of the headboard itself. Admittedly, it wouldn’t work here in earthquake country, but if I ever moved anywhere else I’d definitely consider it…
Love this look too, but won’t dare place a mirror above the bed either {darn earthquakes!}.

A third sigh from earthquake country about the trickiness of mirrors!
I love those geometric patterns, too.
Oh I love this simple canopy – still clean and linear – not too flouncy – but still has that dreamy glamorous feeling…
The canopy is a bit much for me too. Would just cut the design off at the ceiling and I’d be happy!
