"If it were up to me, I would live in my bed and eat my dinner from a tray!" says designer Todd Romano. Watch him build that live-in bedroom right here.
Produced by ORLI BEN-DOR
Bed "The rectangular shape of the Sophia bed lends itself to a strong stripe like ALPHA STRIPE." Bed from Mattaliano.
Bench and Shams "Shams in LARGE PANSY will pop against the stripe of the headboard -- pattern against lovely pattern. Repeat the fabric at the foot of the bed on a bench. The colors complement each other without being too matchy-matchy." Anthony Bench from Mattaliano.
Bergère "Think of French chairs as picture frames. You should fill them with something wonderful, like a fabric with movement such as CARNOT." Louis XVI Library Chair from Dennis & Leen.
Curtains "There's an elegance in the simplicity of solid curtains. FIORELLA has a weight to it that hangs beautifully."
TODD ROMANO
"Bedrooms should be about comfort, beauty, and function," says the New York- based designer and shop owner. Inspired by his favorite T4 fabrics, Romano designed a bedroom that's cozy, bright, and modern.
Start Here
Alpha Stripe; Cotton, Linen
BEST FOR: Headboard
"What I love about this stripe is the combination of widths and colors. On one hand it's a strong geometric print, but because of the way it's colored there's a happy, light feeling to it. What's also great is the mix of linen and cotton. Linen has the softness and cotton has the strength -- it's the perfect fabric for a headboard."
