DC Design House 2013: The Master Suite

Modern meets glamour in this show home’s master suite, with the latter achieved via shimmering touches in the bedroom. Designer Susan Jamieson created a palette of blue, gray, cream, and gold based on the suite's existing fixtures. Personal favorites include a gold-finished canopy bed, complete with an über-luxe (read "expensive") Savoir mattress, and grand nest chandelier.

Susan paid close attention to the fifth wall throughout the space (aka, the ceiling), covering it in high-gloss paint and reflective wallpapers. She notes, "It’s all about the details and creating contrasting visuals…" I love the Maya Romanoff paper used overhead as you approach the modern master bath.

The master bath's designer, Darlene Molnar, used Bertoia side chairs with custom leather seats in the vanity area. The seats were made by Darlene's father, who just happens to be a skilled leatherworker. Aren’t they fabulous?
