This is the greatest bed room that Diane Mohamed has at any time experienced, and owing to the sloped ceiling, the most hard to adorn. “It seemed cavernous, cold, and characterless,” claims the founder of MOMO Inside Design. Mohamed knew she’d want to go bold, but was also fully commited to a predominantly black and white palette. “I wanted to continue to be neutral for the longer lasting goods, then provide in colour with accessories so I can swap them out from time to time,” she claims. Her alternatives did the trick. “Every time I open up the door, it delivers me pleasure,” she claims.

1 The shag rug is a neutral base with tons of identity. “When the daylight hits it, there’s a lovely shimmer,” Mohamed notes.

2 The bedding, which features a crushed velvet comforter from West Elm and sheepskin pillows from Write-up, presents the sole times of color. “The clashing mustard accents are unanticipated and keep the dusty rose from emotion way too female,” Mohamed says.

3 “Even nevertheless it is not a midcentury dwelling, midcentury modern day furniture is continue to my go-to,” Mohamed states, referring to the nightstands. The minimalist desk lamps from CB2 draw the eye past the decals, widening the graphic influence.

4 The uneven arrangement of cabinets allows for flexibility. “Since the center shelf is longer than the top rated just one, I can blend in taller factors like a vase with branches,” the designer claims.

5 Stylized flower decals by Wall Star Graphics have been Mohamed’s beginning place. “I’m a huge lover of [fashion designer] Orla Kiely and these have her vibe,” she says. “The curves balance the sq. windows and hard angles.”

6 The capiz chandelier is dramatic without the need of incorporating color and its geometric variety enhances the organic decals. “I would have liked to hold it reduce, but I do not want the little ones to destruction it when they leap on the mattress,” the designer states with a laugh.
