Bedding
Away with florals: The tailored look of the richly colored reversible bedding suits both him and her. The accent pillow picks up the silver of the frames and lamps above.

Lighting
Brushed-nickel wall-mounted lamps take up zero table space, provide soft reading light, and can be pointed away from the eyes of a sleeping bed partner.

Artwork
Sheets of construction paper in colors keyed to the rug and the bed linens were slipped into standard frames— an easy, inexpensive alternative to custom-framed art.
