Stick to one color lane, and everything else gets easier. This room leans into rich charcoals and warm caramels—so you can mix wood, leather, linen, and vintage finds without visual chaos.

We paired the Jon Dresser in walnut with the Gustav Chair in black leather to ground the space, then softened it with charcoal linen bedding, a grey Icelandic sheepskin, and our Cunmin Clay Lamp for some ambient glow. A vintage Chinese water pot filled with branches adds shape and texture, while a Sunniva throw (or any floral with a similar vibe) brings a little play without overdoing it.

Design tip: Keeping everything in the same tonal family reduces contrast—and that’s not just a style move. From a RUTED™ perspective, less visual contrast means your eyes and brain don’t have to work so hard to process the space. The result? A calmer body and better sleep. Science has proven that low-stimulation bedrooms lead to more consistent parasympathetic activation (aka, your rest-and-relax mode).
