Serene Space This ultra-feminine bedroom has a simplistic yet ultimately chic style. Anchored by the modernized version of a sleigh bed, goldaccented furniture, and accessories, it is the equivalent of what you might expect to find in a hotel high-rise in Manhattan. The sleek writing desk and plush white carpeting add to the elegance. Pull the look together with a vintage-finish chandelier for lighting.
