A pair of purple velvet pillows provided just the right pop of complementary color — but nationally recognized interior designer and owner of
The English Room Holly Hollingsworth Phillips , who styled our dreamscape , was careful not to overdo it .
Holly is known for her elegant use of color and ability to weave together old and new to create welcoming spaces with unique stories .
The secret to doing that while also creating a serene space , she says , is balance . To achieve it , we kept our setting ’ s walls , bedding , and floor quiet , which let the bed ’ s fabric and accent pillows shine .
Holly ’ s tips for bedroom styling
Design with a bit of wanderlust . Include travel treasures and favorite mementos . It ’ s the layering of art and accessories that really takes a room from basic to wow !
Balance patterns with calm . There ’ s a place for “ more is more ,” but bedrooms tend to be better as more serene spaces that still represent the style of those who sleep there .
Winner Angelika Ballas of Matthews , NC , fell in love with the bed ’ s peaceful feel . Currently a law student in Raleigh , NC , she says she ’ s still debating whether to keep its soothing vibe all to herself or place it in a spare room as a whimsical treat for overnight guests .
The Birds of a Feather bed is not available for purchase , but the design is available in a range of colors and fabrics from
