Why we love it
Swathed in layers of lush texture and dark, warm colour, this bedroom retreat beckons one to come in and cozy up. By uniquely covering one entire wall in pleated drapes in a rich shade of chocolate brown, designer Nam Dang-Mitchell created a plush backdrop for accents like the patterned toss cushions and carved table lamp, which add a global vibe.

Why it works
A calming and neutral colour palette is what makes this exotic theme work. While there are multiple colours at play here, they are all muted in tone and blend together to create one cohesive scheme. The cream cowhides and rustic linen bedding bring natural elements into the mix, lending the room warmth and preventing it from feeling one-note.
