A master bedroom should command attention, but still be inviting after a long day. That's exactly what we were thinking when we bought these great chairs covered in a knockout chinoiserie fabric; comfortable, stylish. However, the space was a bit bland. I'd envisioned a table between the chairs, something more substantial on the mantel...
... and throw pillows that would go with the chair fabric and the ottoman.
I started realizing this spaces full potential by cleaning off the bookshelves (housed by chicken wire, which I don't really care for) and replacing books and accessories stylishly.
The mantel was next. Old black and white photos in black frames are the ultimate (and affordable) art failsafe. I layered in a newly purchased mercury glass ball and a faux-bois vase. I added a few little things like an old baby's shoe and an Asprey clock.
Finally I have a table! Somewhere to put my book, some flowers, and a glass of wine. I also found these interesting round pillows, and they totally match the fabric.
A tray on an ottoman always works well, just be sure to use contrasting colors! It's a great place for magazines, a candle, and maybe a piece of art.
Et voila! The finished product. Everything I'd want in a reading space: comfortable chairs, a little table, a fire, and a place to put my feet up.
