By Design: A moody-meets-glam bedroom suitable for New England
Three Sparrows Interior Design created this scheme for a client who purchased a penthouse in a converted mill.
Nicole Martel of Warren-based Three Sparrows Interior Design created this scheme for a client who purchased a penthouse in a converted mill overlooking Bristol Harbor in Rhode Island. “The challenge was to maintain the condominium’s luxury-hotel style while making the space feel warm,” Martel said. The solution was to pair golds and higher-end finishes that reflect the hotel-glam vibe with soft materials and touches of gray and blue for a coastal cozy effect. The wooden wall treatment behind the bed pays homage to the historic town and building.
Bed The tall, tufted headboard is a sophisticated-but-comfortable focal point in a room with a ceiling that reaches more than 11 feet high. Without this type of large-scale feature, the bed would be lost. The soft gray fabric ties to the coastal tones in the rest of the home. (Vanguard Furniture at cabothousefurniture.com)
Chandelier The aged-brass finish, which matches the bench, is a lavish touch, while the off-white shade and open lantern style speak to older New England homes. ($1,144 at wolfers.com)
Lamps The ombré effect of the mercury-like silver finish of this glass lamp injects shimmer at eye level. Paired with the traditional night stands, it achieves a coastal glam vibe. ($370 at ethanallen.com)
Night Stands The warm, pale gray finish of this handcrafted piece provides just enough contrast against the board-and-batten wall. ($1,199 at circlefurniture.com)
Pillows Accessories are a fun way to bring in color and pattern. The blush lumbar pillow is a low-key color pop with a slightly feminine feel. (From $74 at threesparrowshome.com)
Bench Amazing curves make this a statement piece! The bronze frame combined with the white fabric cushion is a sexy addition to the scheme. (Vanguard Furniture at cabothousefurniture.com)
Rug The deeper-blue tone cultivates a coastal vibe and keeps the golds and grays at bay, so to speak. Plus, it’s ecofriendly and easy to clean. (From $159 at potterybarn.com)
