PARTING SHOT Layered shades of green and aqua--especially the celadon gourd lamp by Visual Comfort--add key depth of color & texture. ❖
The pique coverlet & shams by Matouk make that lovely custom bed feel even more like paradise! ❖
For patterns that soothe rather than stimulate, look for washed-out white prints on a pale background.

Award-winning designer Tobi Fairley reflects on the elements that make this cozy nook a sleeper hit.
This serene vignette provides the perfect respite from a busy day. A guest suite that I created for clients, it features Hickory Chair’s Candler bed. I covered the headboard in an aqua solid from Schumacher and detailed it with grosgrain ribbon and nail head trim. Accent fabrics by Nina Campbell coordinate with the wallcovering, giving the space both visual interest and an underlying simplicity. Complete the room with some colorful reading material and a cluster of romantic roses. Soft hues and quiet patterns guarantee that your eye--and your guests--will rest easy. Photographer: Nancy Nolan
