Be bolder

Create a cozy hideaway feel by contrasting pristine white bed linen with a bit of the dark side. Chunky knit throws that exude luxury and comfort, accents of deep shades and bold black accessories to really ground the look.

Throwing shade

Going bold with darker shades is one of the easiest ways to transform a room. Neutral, tonal colors are lovely for creating a calm, serene atmosphere, but adding in layers of navy, slate gray and black brings a sophistication and coziness that is so appealing (especially as the seasons shift). It can make a large room feel more intimate, and a smaller room feel more curated.
 
For the easiest switch up, swap plain white bed linen for something with a wide Oxford border in navy or dark gray. Our Camberley collection is a great choice for this, and its cool, smooth cotton-sateen texture feels so premium.

White bedding looks even more pristine off-set against a stormy blue-gray knit. The deep texture of our Aldbury throw and cushions accentuates the sanctuary-like feel of this bedroom.

Black accessories allow you to extend the intimate atmosphere beyond the bed and into the whole room, even against white walls. Consider moody wall art, dark vases, like our Culvar Jar, black metal nightstands or even simply an opulent Noir candle in its glossy black glass.
