FLORIDA
HOUSE & GARDEN Vol. 3, 2001
Scott Sanders
The most important aspect of any bedroom is …
”comfort.”
To make the best use of
space, I… ”designed the bedroom to be used as a bedroom and a
home office by adding a desk.” When it comes to accessories, I chose… ”to combine the feel of
Cape
Cod
with a palette of blues and whites and mixed in vintage furniture and
accessories.” When
choosing linens… ”I chose toile pillows from Pierre Deux and
quilts from The Ralph Lauren Home Collection.”
If you’re on a limited budget, focus on … ”paint, paint,
paint. It’s inexpensive and always makes a room look new and fresh.
Flea markets and thrift stores are great for this. I love
Douglas
Gardens
on
27th
Avenue
in
Miami
.”
Bedside tables…
”can be any size or shape. Here I used a zinc and wood desk as a
bedside table.” When dealing with lighting, you should… ”always try to take
advantage of natural light and have at least one good reading lamp.”
Wall-to-wall carpeting is better because… ”the floors in
this house were in terrible shape. Here,
I used wall-to-wall sea grass which brought the room to life and made
the space feel new and fresh.” Anyone can dress up a room by… ”letting his or her imagination
go wild.”
