Bedroom Bliss
Since moving to Chicago in 2016, I’ve carefully curated my bedroom as a reflection of my style—a blend of traditional bohemian warmth with a contemporary, monochromatic edge. My palette is grounded in black, white, and gray, accented with rich greens and hints of gold. The juxtaposition of free-spirited, boho elements with sleek, metallic details brings depth and elegance to the space. My inner Slytherin shows up throughout—an embrace of curiosity and a touch of darkness.
I believe that "every room can use a touch of black." It grounds a space, draws the eye, and pairs strikingly with white for a timeless, dramatic effect. When I began designing my bedroom, I sought unique, lasting pieces—furniture and decor that carry a sense of history and individuality. My bone-inlay dressers are the centerpiece, ethically sourced and rich with intricate detail. These striking pieces balance my minimalist, bright furniture while tying together the room's textures and tones.
The room is layered with thoughtfully chosen decor—art prints, greenery, vintage-inspired accents, and a bronze skull from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a nod to my love for the series. Each item is personal, curated from travels, hidden gems, and favorite shops like Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, CB2, and Jayson Home.
For me, interior design is a balance of intention and instinct—a curated space that feels like home while sparking a sense of wonder. Every piece in my bedroom has a purpose, a story, and a little bit of me.
