ALPINE CHIC BEDROOM DESIGN
A four-poster bed with a warm fur blanket – what can be better for an Alpine-style bedroom ? Awesome wooden beams give this design by Swiss firm , Bagno Sasso , a backto-nature feel . This bedroom is part of a development called Alpine Chic – and they have captured the essence of that idea perfectly . The beauty here is that even though you could say that this design is quite extravagant with its bold , unusual canopy bed and luscious furs , it ’ s also very welcoming and relaxing – a combination that is very attractive but not so easy to achieve .
