I just saw this image over at MFAMB and could not stop looking at it.
This bedroom is full of contradictions yet it all works together. Shall we analyze?
1. The feminine settee vs. the masculine headboard
2. All of the contrasting textures: the smooth wood floors, rough stone walls, soft fur throw and rug, dainty matelasse quilt, chalky white ceiling
3. The light and open feel of the stripe on the settee against the dark, dense print on the tablecloth
The elements in this room seem to have little in common, yet when they're combined, well - it's magical! I think rooms like this are the most engaging spaces, don't you? Rather than being perfectly coordinated and "decorated", they feel collected, personal and interesting. And isn't that what a great space is all about?
So tell me what opposites you've combined lately!

Inspiring design!
I adore the wall! Can't say I'm quite as enamored with the placement of the settee but I do like it.
I had salted chocolate - does that count of combining opposites :)
your so right... it's all about the contrast.
Beautiful room!
Yes, you are so right. I have to admit, I don't love the space, but it all does seem to work!
The rock wall has a blue gray glow to it. Your right, I kept looking at too!. Love it....
You're right, this place is full of amazing juxtapositions.
Plus it has that GIANT lamp!
I love contrasting colors. Black and white is my favorite color combination.
Ohh I love contrasts! This room is gorgeous, although I'm not diggi'n the real fur (poor animals).
Greath walls and LOVE the blue stripes and the headboard, definitely not too matchy matchy =)
Have a great weekend!!

I had to stare at this room a while - I like it, but I kept wanting to pick up the settee and move it, and then I am sure I'd like it better! I think it's the height of the settee that is bothering me. I love the walls and ceiling, and the headboard mmmmm....
Love that big fur rug! Snuggly!
Wow! What an impressive bedroom! Really like the fur throw and the black nailed headboard! Well, I'm very glad to be here, your blog is inspiring! We'll stay in touch from now on!
Love, Olga
Of course the pink and orange combination of my new bedroom!! Teamed with white it looks fabulous.
