Sometimes you just want to immerse yourself in soothing lavenderand designers Trevor Ciona and Curtis Elmy of Atmosphere Interior Design have got just the room for you.

It's a complex repeating pattern in lavender, teal and gold, but just as critically, there'sa neutral grey in there to anchor the space. The grey base in it was the bridge that allowed us to connect the room to the design of rest of the house, through the crown moulding,” says Elmy.
That neutral base gave the team the freedom to go all out in the rest of the room: lavender walls, lavender bed linens and a bold teal headboard, with accents of white throughout (linen-look sheers, Restoration Hardware side tables, Arteriors pendant lamp).

You could search for that perfect colour of lamp, and it would probably impossible, says Elmy with a laugh. And we just stumbled on it, and it was perfect.
