And here she is.
This warm and inviting nautical bedroom by Emily Butler is everything I love about great interior design.
It’s classic.
It’s layered.
It’s FUN.
It’s livable.
It’s what you’d call comfortable elegance!
Another view of the room.
So what makes this room special?
It feels more carefully curated than decorated. This may be why I love it so much.
That spindle bed - an antique - is beautiful
Love the nod to nautical style with the Katie Ridder - Beetlecat lumbar pillow & striped Pendelton throw
The throw complements the shams (Sister Parish Pocantico in Fern) and the red table lamp, and ties in all the colors nicely
Speaking of which… that lamp! It’s such a happy color. Try to picture the room without it…it doesn’t feel quite the same. The lamp brings that cheerfulness. A great example of how a pop of color with an accent or an accessory can change the energy in a room.
(I learned from the designer that they has to replace the red table lamps with blue anglepoise desk lamps (pictured to the right, above) because of a small accident.Still cute!)
The end tables on either side of the bed are different, which imho, adds to the charm. Collected and gathered, rather than decorated. Everything doesn’t always have to match. Particularly love the antique farmhouse table.
The burlwood frames above the bed are EVERYTHING. They look amazing against the blue wall. And I love the prints of the vintage cars as well.
Here’s some high-low finds to achieve a similar look -
pagoda lamp / burlwood frames / desk lamp / photographs (lotsa great photos on Unsplash) / antique farmhouse end table / striped throw blanket / sailboat lumbar pillow (fabric) / ticking stripe quilt / leafy green shams (you can get these custom sized) / nightstand / spindle bed (search “farmhouse beds” or “spindle beds” on Etsy) / rug
