8. French Eclectic
A grayscale mural of black palm trees, thick gray clouds and a white sky covers the top portion of the accent wall in this bedroom in France. To balance the space, designer Margaux Ceada painted the remaining upper portions of the walls white, added a thin black line near the center and painted the lower portions a dark sage green.
A simple white bed with rich bronze, gold, green and white pillows and blankets makes for a comfy setup. Small tables with ribbed lamps sit on either side of the bed. Soft white curtains give the room a breezy style. And a black-and-brown fringed ceiling light adds a soft glow.

7. Storage Galore
This seaside Texas home’s neutral-toned bedroom is all about storage. To tackle its compact size, Cindy Aplanalp & Chairma Design Group used built-in closets, drawers and shelves on both sides of the bed as functional elements that also cozy up the space. Shelves give easy access to books, drinks, reading glasses and knickknacks, while traditional sconces provide reading light.

2. Board and Batten
Monica Andrews Interiors gave this Virginia bedroom a stacked board-and-batten detail that runs about three-quarters of the way up the headboard wall. Bright white paint allows the decorative element’s clean lines to catch the eye.
Greige paint on the walls establishes the perfect backdrop for layered neutrals throughout the room. Muted colors on the curtains, bed linens and headboard keep the atmosphere feeling calm and serene.
Dark gray fabric on the bench picks up gray notes in the area rug. And rustic wood from the nightstands and bench adds beautiful texture.
