n our often frenetic lives the importance of retreating to a restful bedroom at the end of a day cannot be underestimated. Interior Designer Joelle Nesen, of Maison Inc., shares her perspective, “People tend to be too hard on themselves, thinking they don’t deserve this. Priority is given to the kid’s rooms, the family room, the kitchen. Yes, these rooms are important but people need to treat themselves well. There is something restorative about entering a room that is complete and done to your preferences, to slip into a comfortable bed with the softest of sheets. It’s a vital space in which to feel a sense of relief and get rejuvenated.” The team of designers at Maison Inc. know this well, having created a beautiful collection of bedrooms for a long roster of clients. These rooms speak of comfort and quality, with touches of luxury that are welcoming after a long day. In one bedroom, small in space yet big in style (seen on the previous pages), a thin three-piece custom headboard extends

beyond the edges of the bed to run behind the nightstands. This substantial focal point brings in warmth and color without taking up extra space. Acting on the firm’s philosophy of mixing custom pieces with bargain finds, which are often given a slight tweak, a pair of handsome nailhead trimmed nightstands were brought in. For interest, their standard pull was replaced with a pin knob that has a fun sense of scale. With adjustable arm lighting and plush pillows made from a large scale Kelly Wearstler fabric, this is a room that simply invites relaxation.
