headboard detailing details Simple bedside tables are brought to life with small decorative details and beautiful lamps that act as jewelry in the room. Amadatsu also favours modest bedding, then adding ornate pillow fabrics to spice things up. Look for quality craftsmanship and select tables that don't disappear in the shadow of your bed. "It's really important to have bedside tables that are in proportion to your bed," says Amadatsu, adding that tiny tables with a kingsized bed are a major design faux pas. Beautiful lamps have considerable impact on a bedroom and Amadatsu found these polished nickel Robert Abbey task lamps to be the right accent to mix with the more irreverent pieces, such as the framed prints mounted on each bedside. She custom-matted pages from a Cavallini & Co. calendar in Pottery Barn frames to create simple art that would tie into the other colour elements in the room. From furniture to fabric, all of the elements add up to create what Amadatsu calls a "slightly coastal-inspired, fresh, pretty look," and the perfect spot for these parents to unwind. ■ See SOUrCES on page 60 30 | BC HOME & gardEn June 2013 p28-31_Bedroom MakeOver.indd 30 13-05-01 3:59 PM
