This week we are spotlighting Meg Braff, a Mississippi native whose style defaults toward her traditional Southern roots and is often tempered with fearless color and a love of antiques!

The style, layout, and design of your bedroom- from linens to lighting- all play a critical role in creating the artistry of that perfect space. Your furniture, art, and bed position are your tools: your bedroom is your canvas.

If you’re rethinking your bedroom design this spring 2019, here are trends we’re watching when it comes to creating that bedroom of your dreams.

Canopy Beds
Nothing makes you feel like royalty more than an elaborate canopy bed. From ethereal draping canopies to tall, majestic headboards, canopy beds create an aura of relaxation and respite in any room. While you might think of canopy beds as elaborate pieces for children’s rooms, more adults are realizing the benefit of a luxurious canopy bed when that style is done right.

Maximizing Space: Daybeds & Storage Beds
Maximizing space goes a long way in creating the sanctuary you want. After all, the more space you have in your bedroom, the more you can do with it. From daybeds to under-bed drawers, storage beds are a great way to clear the clutter from your bedroom or hide an extra bed (trundle). Storage beds are a practical (and stylish) investment that not only simplify your life but organize your space according to your needs.

Mixed Media
From brass and iron beds to accent knobs on furniture, mixed metal accents create a worldly, dimensional aesthetic that underscores the air of luxury a canopy bed creates. Mixed metal accents are definitely in style in 2019, with brass and iron particularly transitioning from their reputation as vintage decor to accents with an on-trend, more modern appeal.

Combining two different elements can also help tie together your favorite pieces, even if they aren’t in the same style category.

Antique iron beds can bring back the charm of olden times with their intricate scrollwork and other details. However, you need to restore metal beds, especially iron beds to bring back their charm. If the metal bed frame was built a hundred years ago, you might need replacement bed rails, which you can buy from an antique bed tire specialized in replacement parts.

Not only are our beds passed down from generation to generation but so is the love of artistry. Meet our father and son artisans Barry and Austin.
