I am moving into some new digs soon (fingers crossed), so I am faced with all of the how in the world am I going to decorate the new space questions. The biggest priority on my list is creating a cocoon of a bedroom space. At one point in my life I should have likely rented a studio as I practically lived out of my bed. I had routine. Get up. Go to work. Come home. Change clothes. Get in bed. Get up. Make food. Get back in bed. Watch tv/movies. Sleep. Repeat. Days where I seek out the solace of my bed immediately following work are few and far between. Now, if I am wasting a large amount of my time at home it is usually on the couch. However, I yearn for my own little cocoon to envelope me at the end of the day. I am torn between serene versus color. At times I can be such a contradiction. I like pastels with gold accents and then I love bold with borderline exotic boho. My tastes are eclectic and I try to meld my likes into my own style instead of putting myself in a box.
I absolutely love the canopy bed above with the coral accents and upholstered headboard. At one point I would have never trusted myself to have a nice silk fabric or a white duvet. However, gone are my days of camping out in bed and taking my meals there or post late night snacking. I am a bit more confident I won't ruin anything. However, I can't help but think of how all of the white duvets must be dry cleaned to look immaculate and wrinkle free. Sorting through my pictures I definitely notice a theme with the bold magenta. I haven't really been able to find what I like (remotely affordable anyway...sadly Matouk linens are out of my range) so I may pick out some fabric and have a duvet made. In addition to color scheme the equally impossible decision is what type of headboard. I like upholstered, chippendale themed, fun gilded antiques, and canopy beds even with romantic fabric panels. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Do you have any recommendations to share?! I would love to hear your ideas!

Love the gold by Nate Berkus
Bold upholstered headboard with white duvet and colored trim?
Or traditional white upholstered headboard by Samantha Pynn?
I love everything about this room of Olatz Schnabel. Headboard, rug, bold colors.

I am drawn to the white duvet with colored trim as seen in Lonny (preferably not black)
Bold and can you believe they are from Target?
Calm and relaxing
Kishani Perena's gilded headboard by Casamidy is exotic
The simple red throw goes such a long way
