Floor Show

Bungalow Rose’s Harrold 0riental polypropylene RUG, 7' x 10', $265, wayfair.ca.

Once you’ve enjoyed the comfort of a rug in the bedroom, you won’t ever go back to naked floorboards. Choose one that’s large enough to extend beyond the foot of the bed and on each side. It will draw the eye to the room’s natural focal point and define the sleeping area. For an instant cozy nest effect, there’s nothing better.

Side Story

To give your bedroom personality, avoid the matching bedroom suite effect and bring in mismatched furnishings. As a departure from the predictable traditional bedside table, opt for one – or two! – pedestal-style side tables with a trendy curved or geometric shape. Concrete and other slightly textured materials are very au courant.
